Profitability of businesses in the transport sector is threatened as fuel price soars and hits an all time high. Fuel prices could rise by a further 50% as the cost of crude oil increases due to sanctions imposed on Russia by Western nations.
A rise in diesel to £3 is “definitely in the realms of possibility” according to Dr Amrita Sen, chief oil analyst at the research consultancy Energy Aspects. She warned that the UK could follow Germany’s example who begin rationing diesel at the end of this month.
Fuel is around a third of costs for a haulier – when you factor in the recent increase in labour costs (20-30%) and in HGV costs – this huge price rise in fuel will have a significant impact on a business’s bottom line.

Our tyre sealant will help maintain optimum tyre pressure in a cost effective and safe way by stopping all rim, bead, and other slow air leaks.
