Dear Customers,

Further to our Newsletter No. 049/2026 dated 5 March 2026, we would like to inform you about a change to the fuel surcharge.
The situation in the Middle East continues to escalate and this unfavorable development is having a noticeable impact on the fuel market. Operating under conditions of continuously increasing fuel prices is becoming unsustainable; therefore, we are forced to adjust this surcharge within a shorter time frame.

With effect from 23 March 2026, the current fuel surcharge for truck haulage in AT, HU and DE will be increased and the fuel surcharge for deliveries within CZ, SK and PL will be introduced again. At this stage, we are not increasing the fuel surcharge for RO and SRB, we will continue to monitor developments in both markets.

The specific surcharge rates can be found here.

In connection with the aforementioned situation, DIT Duisburg terminal is introducing an Energy Emergency Surcharge (EES) of EUR 3.25 / box, effective from 16 March 2026 until further notice, which we will charge 1:1 for the specified shipments.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our pricing departments.
