Unchanged in transport costs
The total cost index for road goods transport unchanged from January 2006 to February 2006. Over the last 12 months the total costs have increased by 4.4 per cent.
Decreased tyre prices
The tyre index has decreased by 0.8 per cent from January to February due to price changes by some suppliers. Over the last 12 months this sub-index has increased by 8.4 per cent.
Lower capital costs
The index for capital costs decreased by 0.1 per cent the last month, mainly due to decrease in the real interests rates. In the last 12 months this index, which is composed by depreciation and amortization, interest costs and annual fee, has increased by 2.7 per cent.
The real interest rates are based on the consumer price index and are three month's NIBOR-rates from the Central Bank of Norway, and may therefore deviate somewhat from the average interest offered by Norwegian banks.
The other sub-indices show no change over the last month.
