According to a report released by the European Transport and Environment Federation on September 23, the cost of using diesel vehicles in Europe has increased dramatically due to soaring diesel prices in the international market. The report calls for continued promotion of “oil to electricity” for European cars. The European Transport and Environment Federation said in its report that nearly 40% of all passenger cars in Europe use diesel, making Europe the region in the world hardest hit by high diesel prices. Currently, diesel prices in Europe have risen by more than 40% compared to the beginning of the year, which is significantly higher than the 28% increase in gasoline. Diesel car owners need to pay a total of 203 million euros per day, or about 1.55 billion yuan; the weekly fuel costs for diesel trucks have increased by an average of 236 euros, or about 1,800 yuan.
