You can find the current energy surcharge/fuel surcharges at any time on this page. The surcharges are adjusted at the end of each month and are published on this page before entering into effect.
Why do we apply an energy surcharge/fuel surcharge?
Like the rest of the transport industry, we are quite vulnerable to fluctuating fuel prices, and we have seen these fluctuations become increasingly greater over the years, also within the individual years.
By indexing part of the transport price against a fuel price index, we render pricing more transparent. This enables the surcharge to rise and fall during the agreement period without affecting your customer agreement, and it is otherwise itemised separately on your invoice.
How do we set the energy surcharge/fuel surcharge?
The surcharges are set according to various price indices depending on the product
Surcharges for parcels
The fuel surcharge and energy surcharge are combined in invoicing as Energy surcharge
All parcels are invoiced for an Energy surcharge per parcel as a total supplement consisting of the variable fuel supplement (monthly index) and the fixed environmental supplement (3.25%).
On your invoice specification, the Energy surcharge will appear as a total amount consisting of fuel surcharge and environmental surcharge.
