Abstract
Fuel types and sources in Uzbekistan play a crucial role in driving the country’s energy sector, supporting various industries, and meeting the needs of its growing population. Petrol and diesel are the most widely used fuels, especially in the transport and industrial sectors. These products are essential for vehicles, machinery, and equipment that power daily operations across the country. While Uzbekistan produces some of its own refined fuels, the country still imports significant amounts to meet demand, as domestic refining capacity is somewhat limited. This reliance on both local and imported petrol and diesel underscores the importance of a stable and efficient supply chain to maintain consistency in delivery.
