Q8 extends the price cap on petrol and diesel until the end of the year

Q8extension of the price cap on petrol and diesel, thereby following up on the willingness expressed in recent days by the Emir of Kuwait, Misha’al Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al Sabahed, during the bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni last Friday in Kuwait City, during a whirlwind visit by the Prime Minister. The company announced, in a brief statement, its intention to extend the fuel price cap until the end of the year.

The company explains that, with this decision, “Q8 Italia intends to make a tangible contribution in response to the needs outlined by the government, combining support for consumers with a responsible approach that takes into account changing market conditions and the economic sustainability of the entire supply chain”

In the press release, Q8 states that the initiative will continue ‘according to a modular approach, taking into account the various operating models within the company’s distribution network. Q8 Italia will continue to provide adequate support to operators and partners, with a view to helping ensure the economic sustainability of the entire supply chain’.

The company reserves the right to define the ‘implementation arrangements’ for the measure, ‘taking into account market developments and supply conditions’. These words echo those used by the company at the end of September when it introduced a price cap on petrol and diesel, effective from 1 October 2026 for a period of 30 days. On that occasion, the company had spoken of applying a ‘modular approach, consistent with the various circumstances that make up the company’s distribution system’, to protect consumers whilst ensuring the economic sustainability of the supply chain, which involves operators and partners within the distribution network.
