Price rises have resulted from a combination of Covid-19, the subsequent energy crisis and the war in Ukraine. Richard Beresford, chief executive of the NFB, said: “These are unprecedented times and after rejecting industry pleas on minimal exemptions for plant vehicles that could not be electrified, such as mobile cranes, this policy change arrives in the middle of a perfect storm on British energy costs and so a twelve-month deferral on removing the red diesel rebate is pragmatic.”
