Diesel prices in the United Kingdom have reached an average of £2 a litre, marking an all-time high, according to figures from the RAC motoring group.
The RAC also reported that petrol prices have been rising alongside diesel, adding further pressure on drivers and businesses that rely on road transport.
The increase comes against a backdrop of broader volatility in global oil and fuel markets, though the RAC's figures did not attribute the UK price rise to a single specific cause.
Higher diesel prices are likely to be felt most directly by hauliers, delivery firms and other diesel-dependent industries, which could see knock-on effects on the cost of transporting goods.
The RAC has not indicated whether it expects prices to continue rising or to stabilize in the near term.
