Increased costs for road goods transport

The total cost index for road goods transport increased by 0.4 per cent last month, mainly due to increased diesel prices, increased tyre prices and an increase in real interest rates. The total cost index has increased by 1.8 per cent in the last 12 months.

The recent development in oil prices has led the fuel index to increase by 1.6 per cent between March and April. However, in the last 12 months this index has decreased by 7.3 per cent, due to lower taxes and a general decrease in oil prices.

More expensive tyres

The tyre index increased by 0.7 per cent compared with last month. During the last 12 months, this index has increased by 2.8 per cent.

Increase in capital costs

The index for capital costs increased by 0.6 per cent last month, due to increased interest expenses. Over the last 12 months, this index has increased by 0.3 per cent.

Slight increase in administration costs
