To calculate fuel surcharges, we start with a baseline diesel price range between 1.42 and 1.45 EUR per liter, which is referred to as the "zero line." If the actual diesel price exceeds this range, we calculate the new price using a tiered system. This calculation is always based on the average diesel price over a week, as reported by this source. 👇
Within this source, you will find weekly and yearly summaries of diesel prices. These summaries serve as valuable tools for shippers during negotiations with carriers regarding fuel prices.
Why fuel surcharges?
The logistics industry has been dealing with higher fuel prices since the beginning of March 2022, due to the situation in Ukraine. Unfortunately, our trucking partners are affected by this too. In this article, we provide you with an update on the fuel surcharges.
Up until March, our rates included diesel prices. However, because of the extreme increase in oil prices, this was not a position we were able to maintain. We update our fuel surcharges weekly in accordance with the criteria imposed by the Dutch and Belgian authorities. More info here.
Update 2023 June
Currently, fuel prices have somewhat stabilized, and the Dutch government has made the decision to raise the excise taxes again starting from June 1, 2023.
As a result of this government-imposed excise tax increase, it directly affects the transportation prices that were agreed upon with you.
Unfortunately, we must inform you that as of July 1, these taxes will be immediately applied to the (local) transportation rates. Based on the current diesel price of around €1.3950, this will result in a 4% increase in trucking prices.
We would have preferred to inform you that the excise taxes would be abolished, but as the tax authorities always tell us, "We cannot make it more beautiful, but we can make it easier." We have to accept and come to terms with this decision.
For further information, read the article on the Ministry of Finance's website about the announcement of the excise tax rise.
Fresh shippers have custom fuel surcharge agreements. Please reach out to your contact person if you have any questions.
