Dear valued Customers!

We would like to inform you about the changes in surcharges for the fourth quarter of 2025, which we will apply from 01.10.2025.
 
Congestion Surcharge
We regularly inform you about the current restrictions in all the transport corridors. We also have announced the already known planned closures until the end of this year. As you can see in our newsletters, complications on the railway network persist. For these reasons, the evaluation of the situation and the costs associated to it is still in progress. We will inform you about the further development in the upcoming weeks.

Fuel Surcharge – FS
Fuel prices in Europe have been stable in the long term. We are keeping the fuel surcharge unchanged compared to the previous quarter.
The current amount of the Fuel Surcharge can be found here.
 
Traction Energy Surcharge – TES
We did not notice any significant changes in the prices of traction energy within our railway network. The TES values ​​remain unchanged.
The current Traction Energy Surcharge can be found here.
 
Rail Infrastructure Surcharge – RIS
The Federal Republic of Germany is currently not changing its policy on financing access to its rail infrastructure. The RIS surcharge therefore remains unchanged for the fourth quarter.
The current Rail Infrastructure Surcharge can be found here.
 
Detour Surcharge – DTS
The main road detours are not changing, so neither is the DTS for the coming quarter.
The current Detour Surcharge can be found here.
 
Tolls
The Romanian government is increasing the price of vignettes for all vehicles from EUR 11 to EUR 30 / day from 08.09.2025. Effective from 01.10.2025, we will increase the toll amount accordingly for transports from / to Romanian destinations via Dunajská Streda, Košice and Budapest carried out on the basis of our price offers.
Other toll charges remain unchanged compared to the third quarter of 2025.
