Increase in the final price of products to consumers and negative impacts on the Brazilian economy. These are, according to the National Confederation of Industry (CNI), the main impacts of the readjustment of the freight table, announced today (05) by the National Land Transport Agency.
According to Agência Brasil information, CNI president Robson Braga de Andrade said that the freight tariff is a “mistaken and simplistic measure” that does not solve the difficulties faced by the country’s road transport.
The Brazilian Association of Truck Drivers (Abcam) has classified the table published today as a mere “price update for the road freight service”. For the entity, the new ANTT resolution still does not contemplate fundamental peculiarities of the sector, such as the need to correct values according to the types of cargo; number of axes and regional indexes that allow to attend to the peculiarities of each unit of the federation.
The entity also informed that it will send a new request for a hearing to the Civil House to explain its concerns, but reaffirmed that there is no movement of paralysis by the entities representing the truck drivers
