September 28. According to comprehensive foreign media news, as many as 90% of gas stations in major cities in the UK have no gas to fill, because panic purchases have deepened the supply chain crisis caused by the shortage of truck drivers.
According to Reuters, on Sunday, petrol stations across the UK lined up with dozens of vehicles, exhausting supplies and forcing many petrol stations to "close their doors and thank guests." According to Reuters, gas stations in various cities in the UK were either closed on Monday or put up a sign to stop supply.
The British Gasoline Retailers Association (PRA), which represents independent fuel retailers, said its members report that in some areas, 50%-90% of gas stations have no gas to fill. "Unfortunately, we have seen panic buying of fuel in many parts of the country," said Gordon Balmer, executive director of the Gasoline Retailers Association.
According to the Wall Street Journal's Chinese website, after meeting with industry executives, the British government agreed on Sunday evening to temporarily allow fuel retail companies to obtain exemptions from the 1998 Competition Act to encourage them to share information and maximize supply.
Previously, the British Road Transport Association stated that the lack of fuel supply was caused by factors such as the new crown epidemic, an aging labor force and the departure of a large number of EU workers after Brexit. Many transport companies urged the government to relax immigration policies and introduce more EU drivers to increase capacity.
