Dear business partner,

The steep increase in fuel prices caused by the ongoing military conflict in the Middle East has placed us, as a trucking company, in a situation that unfortunately now requires extraordinary intervention. Fuel is one of the most significant cost components of transport services, and since we do not have a crystal ball, we are unable to predict how long this situation may continue.

As owners of a truck fleet, we are on the front line of this crisis situation, and therefore the impact of fuel price changes on our operations is direct and unavoidable. We kindly ask for your understanding, but starting from 16 March, we will apply an additional fuel surcharge (BAF) to our transport services. As a temporary measure, this surcharge will be updated every Friday.

Fuel surcharge ( BAF )      10,18%      for period 13.-26.03.2026

The fuel surcharge calculation is based on fuel prices published in the European Commission’s Weekly Oil Bulletin portal, which provides public information accessible to all interested parties. The information is published every Thursday and covers fuel prices for the previous week in all European Union member states (except HVO diesel).

The base diesel price has been calculated on the basis of the average diesel fuel price over the last six months: 1,375 EUR per liter.

Base diesel price : Diesel price during the period under review = change %

BAF = Fuel share (35% of production costs) × change in diesel price during the comparison period, %
