Transport companies raise prices in Portugal and lose ground to Spain. "The impact of fuel costs is brutal"
Freight transport companies are increasing prices to cope with rising diesel costs, and ANTRAM expects supply issues in Porto due to new VCI traffic restrictions for heavy vehicles effective Tuesday, September 15. The government is currently preparing to discuss the resumption of fuel subsidies, which expired on June 30, in an upcoming Council of Ministers meeting.
Why it mattersIf you are a resident or business owner, expect potential delivery delays or cost increases for goods and services as freight companies pass on rising fuel expenses, particularly around the Porto area due to new traffic restrictions.
