Russia’s Primorsky Krai caps fuel sales for heavy trucks — because drivers ‘fill up to a thousand tons, drive off, drain the tanks, and come back for more’

Primorsky Krai has implemented strict fuel caps for heavy trucks to combat rampant fuel theft, limiting sales to 100 liters within city limits and 200 liters on highways. This move follows reports of drivers hoarding large quantities of fuel, draining tanks, and returning for more, which not only wasted resources but also disrupted supply chains. By capping fuel sales, the region aims to ensure fair distribution and protect its fuel reserves, highlighting a proactive approach to managing local resource security. This measure could set a precedent for other regions grappling with similar issues of fuel mismanagement.
