Diesel Floater

As of April 1, 2026, we have introduced a diesel surcharge for our transportation services.

The reason for this is that all of our affiliated last-mile carriers abroad have now mandatorily implemented corresponding surcharges.

These costs are passed on to us directly and are entirely beyond our control. Previously, we bore the resulting additional costs entirely on our own. Further compensation was no longer economically feasible, as nearly all carriers have now introduced corresponding surcharges.

Here is our modified, standardized diesel float model, which consolidates our carriers’ various calculation models into a uniform, transparent system.

The calculation is based on an EU-27 diesel price index.

We have deliberately chosen not to use a single national index (e.g., Germany), as this currently reflects the highest price increase within the EU and would therefore result in a disproportionately high burden. By using the EU-wide average, we create a fair and balanced basis for all parties involved.

In addition to last-mile costs, our linehaul services are also directly affected. This particularly applies to routes to and within Switzerland, Italy, Austria, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Scandinavia, and other international destinations.

These costs affect all international shipments worldwide.
