Fuel surcharge
Why do we apply an fuel surcharge?
Like the rest of the transport industry, we are quite vulnerable to fluctuating fuel prices, and we have seen these fluctuations become increasingly greater over the years, also within the individual years.
By indexing part of the transport price against a fuel price index, we render pricing more transparent. This enables the surcharge to rise and fall during the agreement period without affecting your customer agreement, and it is otherwise itemised separately on your invoice.
How do we set the fuel surcharge?
The surcharges are set according to various price indices depending on the product.
