Oil giant says HGV driver shortage is disrupting supplies, with about 10% of forecourts running out of some fuels
BP is rationing deliveries of petrol and diesel to its UK network of 1,200 service stations, as the oil giant became the latest firm to warn that the national shortage of HGV drivers is disrupting its business.
The Guardian understands that “high tens” of forecourts, representing just under 10% of BP’s network, have no supplies of certain lines of fuel at any one time, while the company is prioritising deliveries to sites it considers important, such as motorway services.
