Rising diesel prices burden transport companies

Rising diesel prices and technological change present new challenges for transport companies: According to a statement from TIMOCOM, the current developments in the energy market are palpable for the industry and require rapid adjustments. Gunnar Gburek, company spokesperson and head of business development at TIMOCOM, emphasizes that companies are in a situation where they must make both short-term and long-term decisions. „This is no longer a normal increase. This is a price shock,“ says Benedikt Rossmann, managing director of Ansorge Logistik.

Urgency of adjustments

The persistently high diesel prices are putting pressure on companies, as they initially have to bear the increased costs themselves. „We are currently seeing an unusually strong overlap of short-term market pressure and long-term transformation decisions,“ explains Gburek. The discussions within the „TIMOCOM ThekenTalks“ highlight that there is an exchange in the industry regarding steps such as alternative drives and digital solutions. Representatives from logistics, industry, and associations are discussing developments in the transport market there.
