Which fuel index do European road freight carriers use to set the surcharge?

European road freight carriers reference the European Commission Oil Bulletin, published weekly by the Directorate General for Energy and Transport. It records diesel retail prices across EU member states and is the standard European benchmark for diesel surcharge band calculations. The US Energy Information Administration index — frequently referenced in North American freight — does not apply to European carrier surcharge tables.
