Why Breakthrough’s EU transport energy market outlook matters
Our comprehensive market analysis provides actionable insights to help your organisation be knowledgeable in today’s evolving transport energy landscape. Here are key highlights from the 2026 market outlook report:
Persistent Supply Tightness Sustains Diesel Prices
European diesel inventories remain below historical averages due to the Russian fuel ban and reduced refining capacity, maintaining an elevated price floor across the region.
Global Crude Surplus Drives Downward Pressure
A record global crude oversupply has pushed Brent benchmarks to five-year lows, creating significant potential for downward adjustments in regional diesel costs.
Geopolitical Volatility Adds Uncertainty
Shifting international relations and diplomatic negotiations continue to drive market volatility, directly impacting the long-term stability of diesel pricing.
A transparent approach to all-in transport rates
Transport rates are increasingly complex, with fluctuating tolls, driver wages, and emerging EU ETS II charges impacting the single rate given to transport partners. Breakthrough’s Fuel Recovery solution simplifies this by unbundling fuel from the transport rate, allowing you to treat fuel as a pass-through expense.
Key benefits of Fuel Recovery:
- Strategic Cost Management: Consider time, price, tax, equipment, and fuel efficiency to ensure fair and accurate payment.
- Enhanced Efficiency: Eliminate guesswork with a transparent and data-driven model.
- Sustainable Partnerships: Shift the focus from transport rate speculation toward long-term partnership growth.
