In the latest episode of Mobility Energy Talks, we discuss possible solutions to the current fuel crisis.

As a result of the US-Israel war with Iran, fuel prices have exploded in a matter of weeks. Diesel through 2.50 euros, petrol towards record highs, petrol tourism reigniting – and entrepreneurs on both sides of the border under enormous pressure.

What does this crisis mean for the petrol station industry in the Netherlands and Belgium?

That’s what this special edition of Mobility Energy Talks, the podcast of trade magazine Mobility Energy, is all about.

With this time, alongside Luberto van Buiten and Paul Blonk, Matthieu van Steenkiste from Mobility Energy Belgium at the podcast table.

In this episode we discuss, among other things:

  • What measures Belgium is taking to keep pump owners afloat;
  • Whether or not the Netherlands should implement excise duty rebates;
  • What the long-term strategy should be for the sector;
  • How our neighbouring countries are dealing with the crisis;
  • The impact of fuel tourism on both sides of the border.
