A lorry driver training firm says it is "riding out" record diesel prices that have been steadily climbing since the outbreak of the US-Iran war in February, according to the available report.
Diesel costs are a significant expense for haulage and driver training businesses alike, given that training fleets rely on running lorries for practical instruction, meaning sustained fuel price increases can directly affect operating costs.
The report attributes the rise in fuel prices to the conflict between the United States and Iran, which began in February, reflecting how geopolitical instability in oil-producing regions can feed through to pump prices for businesses and consumers.
Despite the pressure of record diesel costs, the firm cited in the report indicates it has been able to continue operating, suggesting some degree of resilience or cost management within the business.
The report does not specify the exact current price of diesel, the name of the firm involved, or further detail on how the business has adjusted its operations in response to rising fuel costs.
