Economic
Transport Costs Surge in Poland After 40-42% Road Charge Hike
A major increase in road charges for trucks and buses has sharply raised transport costs in Poland, threatening profitability of road haulage and passenger transport.
Polish road transport operators face a significant economic shock after a 40–42% hike in road charges for trucks and buses, marked as one of the largest jumps in years. The new level of fees puts a heavy strain on transport companies, which are already struggling with high fuel and labor costs, and may lead to higher prices for freight and passenger services across Poland. The policy change, described as part of the government’s financial measures, is seen by industry analysts as a blunt fiscal tool that could weaken competitiveness and investment in the transport sector, particularly for small and medium‑sized carriers.
