Petrol prices in the UK are hitting a low mark since the onset of Covid, according from this week's guest, Portland Fuel Managing Director James Spencer. As the fuel distribution community head to this year's UKIFDA, the fuel industry is witnessing unprecedented changes, with significant benefits for fleet customers and a shift towards alternative fuels like HVO, hydrogen, and ammonia. Join host Alex and James as they look into the global politics on fuel prices, the rise of nuclear energy, and the necessary adjustments the fuel industry must make in a challenging economy.
