RHA launches survey to map the impact of rising costs on operators

18 Mar 2026 Posted By Richard Smith

The situation in the Middle East is a stark reminder of how quickly global events can impact our industry.

For road transport operators, rising fuel costs and supply issues are not just another challenge - they go straight to the heart of business viability. Margins tighten, contracts come under pressure, and uncertainty makes planning harder.

At the RHA, we are continuing to engage with government and stakeholders to ensure the real-world impact on operators is understood - and acted on.

To support that, we’ve launched a short survey to capture the latest pressures businesses are facing.

If you’re an operator of Coaches, Vans or Trucks, I’d encourage you to take a moment to share your experience. It will help strengthen the case we’re making on your behalf.

You can find the survey HERE

This is an essential industry and those in it are essential users of fuel. We need to make sure its voice is heard.
