As the fuel market crisis intensifies across the EU, IRU has urged its transport ministers to take immediate and coordinated EU-level action to keep supply chains moving and protect people’s mobility.

As of 20 March 2026, attacks on critical energy hubs have pushed global oil and fuel prices higher. Here is the latest overview for the road transport sector.

IRU members came together for a virtual Commission on Customs Affairs (CAD) meeting last week. They assessed the latest cross-border developments – such as implementing eTIR, enhancing TIR’s competitiveness, and digitalising operations – amid continued pressure on logistics routes and supply chains.

To support the industry amid trade disruptions and rising fuel prices, IRU has launched a dedicated information hub with real-time alerts, fuel prices, border crossing maps, calls for government action, and more.
