The National Agency of Land Transport (ANTT) publishes on Thursday (07) a new minimum freight price table, covering a greater variety of trucks, reports Agência Brasil. According to the transport minister, Valter Casimiro, the agency understood that the table published on May 30 caused confusion, since the calculations of cargo transportation did not include all types of trucks, since there are vehicles with two axles up to nine axles.
“ANTT identified some problems in the constitution of the table, which provided only one type of truck, some with three axles, with six axles, and that it needed to expand this table to include all types of trucks and to make the distribution of the fixed cost of the truck. freight in a truck that had more axes, “says Casimiro.
With this, prices will change. According to the minister, the fixed price will be diluted between the axes. Trucks with more axles will have the lowest freight price. “When you put all the fixed cost on a few axes, you will dilute this fixed cost on a much smaller number of axes. Then it will cost more freight. When you dilute this cost on a truck with more axles, you’ll lower the price per axle of that load on a nine-axle truck, for example. “
Other changes, however, may still occur even after the publication of the new table. This is because ANTT will promote a public hearing to listen also to the productive sector, in addition to the transportation sector. The call for the public hearing will be published next week.
