Dear Customers,
With the new quarter approaching, we would like to inform you about changes in selected surcharges.
Detour Surcharge – Strakonice
Due to the closure of the roundabout due to the repair of the I/4 road in Strakonice (more info here), we are forced to introduce a Detour Surcharge (DTS). The surcharge will be applied to selected destinations when delivering via terminals Pilsen and Prague. These destinations are located in the districts of Prachatice, Strakonice and in the German district of Passau.
The amount of the DTS corresponds to the incurred extra costs related to the detour routes around the Strakonice junction. According to the information from ŘSD, the closure is planned until June 2025.
You can find the current list of destinations with a DTS surcharge and its specific amount in the Other applicable surcharges section here.
Fuel Surcharge – Stable Situation
Diesel prices stabilised in the first quarter of 2024. We expect the same development for the second quarter of 2024, so we are keeping the Fuel Surcharge values, with minor exceptions for Czech-Slovak cross-border deliveries, at the same level. The current amount of the Fuel Surcharge can be found in the Fuel Surcharge section here.
Toll Surcharge Czech Republic – Reminder
We would like to remind you of Newsletter 17/2024 from 8 March 2024 (here), in which we explain the introduction of toll surcharges for deliveries in the Czech Republic and from terminals in the Czech Republic to other countries, which will apply from 01/04/2024. The current amount of toll surcharges can be found in the TOLL section here.
Traction Energy Surcharge – Reduction
Traction power prices, especially in the southern part of our network, have stabilised to such an extent that we can reduce the price of the traction energy surcharges on the corridors affected from 01/04/2024. For the current Traction Energy Surcharge levels applicable from 01/04/2024, please see the Traction Energy Surcharge section here.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
