Impact of market situation in the middle-east

Statement | Impact of current developments on European road & multimodal transport

Recent developments in the Middle East are causing volatility in global energy markets. This instability is affecting the European energy landscape, with a direct impact on the supply chain/transport sector. For European road and multimodal transport, this may influence planning and energy-related cost components.

What this means:

• Planning & updates: We are closely reviewing market conditions and supplier updates, and we communicate relevant developments and implications for flows directly with our customers.
• Cost-related elements: As energy prices continue to rise sharply across Europe, the €/litre cost increase is having a direct impact on daily operational expenses. We continue to monitor the situation and remain on top of it; the involved and affected parties will be informed accordingly.

Our approach: transparent and proactive

This situation is a clear case of force majeure and remain outside of our control. We are actively safeguarding network-wide service continuity and maintaining close monitoring of the market to ensure timely and transparent communication. Where required, we will formalise appropriate arrangements in line with existing agreements.
