Truck toll makes transport more expensive

Freight transport will become significantly more expensive this year. On July 1, the truck toll will be introduced, where trucks are classified by emission and must pay an amount per kilometer driven for their category. According to ING Research, transportation costs will therefore increase (net) by 7% to 8%. The increase in labor costs of over 4% will be added on top of that. Although transportation costs make up only a small part of the final price, it can still become a battle over whose margin this will affect.
