"It keeps getting harder": truck drivers warn about the impact of rising fuel prices

SIC Notícias13 September 2026 at 20:18

Truck drivers warn about the growing impact of rising fuel prices on their professional activity. The sector expresses concern over the constant increase in operational costs, which directly affects the economic viability of road freight transport.

Regarding tomorrow's forecasts, the price of gasoline will drop slightly, while diesel rises again by about two cents per liter. This difference between the two fuels maintains pressure on professionals who depend on diesel for their fleets.

The main concern, however, lies with the international oil price. The latest attacks in the region and developments in the Red Sea threaten one of the world's main crude supply routes.

Analysts warn that this geopolitical situation could cause Brent crude prices to surge when markets open tomorrow, which could result in further increases in fuel prices in the coming days.

Why this matters

Truck drivers in the region directly face the increase in diesel, which raises the cost per kilometer driven. If oil prices soar due to Red Sea instability, transport costs could increase even further, potentially affecting the prices of goods transported to consumers.
