"It is getting increasingly difficult": truck drivers warn about the impact of rising fuel prices

SIC Notícias13 September 2026 at 20:18

Fuel prices in Portugal are undergoing distinct changes tomorrow. The gasoline price will drop slightly, while diesel rises again by about two cents per liter, increasing costs for truck drivers.

The main concern is now the global oil price. Recent attacks and developments in the Red Sea threaten one of the world's main supply routes, which could cause Brent barrel prices to soar when markets open tomorrow.

Truck drivers warn about the growing impact of rising fuel prices on their activity, considering it increasingly difficult to keep operational costs stable given these price fluctuations.

Why this matters

Truck drivers in Portugal face growing fuel costs, which directly affects their transport businesses. The tension in the Red Sea could further aggravate prices, following recent attacks that have already caused disruptions in global supply routes.
