The Government’s reduction of its planned 22% tariff on EU-built trucks to 10% could still lead to higher pollution levels and increased parcel and logistics charges, claim ParcelHero.
The international parcel delivery expert ParcelHero says the cut in the UK Government’s planned draconian tariff of 22% on new EU-built trucks to 10% shows it has failed to consider the issue properly; and should now announce it will scrap the tax completely.
If this doesn’t happen, warns ParcelHero’s Head of Consumer Research, David Jinks MILT, the new 10% tariff will stall the introduction of new greener EURO 6 phase D engines, made compulsory from last month, and will mean significantly increased costs for delivery and logistics industry companies – costs that will ultimately be transferred to customers.
