Fuel prices in Europe are currently subject to strong fluctuations. Many governments are responding with different measures.
To help fleet operators maintain an overview, DKV Mobility provides on this page an overview of current government measures as well as their potential impact on fuel prices and availability in different countries.
In addition to government interventions, temporary fuel shortages may currently occur in some markets.
Currently reported in:
• Moldova
• Hungary
• Slovenia
These shortages may be caused, among other factors, by price regulations, supply chain disruptions, or increased demand.
Fleet operators are therefore advised to monitor the current supply situation and plan refuelling stops accordingly.
