Operators struggle with fuel price crisis

15 Jun 2026

Only four in 10 transport operators are confident they can survive the current onslaught on fuel prices as the Iran conflict drags on.

A survey by the RHA found prices have soared by 35% since the war began three months ago, leaving many hauliers fighting for survival.

Average diesel prices are more than 182p per litre and motorway service areas are pushing almost 200p, according to latest RAC figures.

The RHA said an essential user rebate was now crucial as a targeted measure that would help transport firms cut the cost of moving goods and ease the pressure forcing prices up for customers.
