The government has announced the extension of fuel aid aimed at 'heavy users' until September 30. This decision comes in response to the increase in fuel prices, which is significantly impacting certain drivers and professionals.

Maud Bregeon, the government spokesperson, confirmed this measure on Thursday during a statement on franceinfo. She specified that the assistance program for 'heavy users', initially set to close on August 31, will continue to operate for an additional month.

According to BFM Business, this extension aims to support the motorists most affected by the rising fuel costs. It is an emergency measure to mitigate the effects of surging prices on households and professionals.

As reported by 20 Minutes, the aid is not limited to 'heavy users' but also extends to professionals affected by the price increases. This underscores the government's intention to broaden support to the most impacted sectors.

Le Monde reports that an evaluation of the situation will take place at the end of October to determine the future of the aid, depending on how fuel prices evolve. Maud Bregeon stated that this approach will be maintained to adjust measures to current needs.
