"The consumer will suffer": "chaos" is coming with the ban on trucks on the VCI
Heavy goods vehicles will be banned from the VCI in Porto between 07:00 and 21:00 on weekdays, starting September 15th. Trucks serving Porto or Vila Nova de Gaia are exempt but must register each trip via a new digital platform. Transporters warn that the rerouting, which adds approximately 60km to trips using the A41, will lead to immediate price increases for goods.
Why it matters
If you live in the Porto metropolitan area, expect potential price increases on consumer goods starting September 15th due to higher transport costs for logistics companies rerouted from the VCI.CNN PortugalRead original ↗
