Rising fuel prices impact on transport operating costs.
The extraordinary increase in fuel prices, as a consequence of the economic and geopolitical situation we are experiencing, has a great impact on our direct operating costs.
In view of this situation, on 1 March 2022, the Government approved Royal Decree Law 03/2022 to regulate the surcharge for the increase in fuel costs, in article 38 of the aforementioned Royal Decree Law.
Based on this regulation, and in view of the continued increase in the price of fuel, our company is obliged to apply the legally established surcharge from 1 April 2022.
Calculation basis
The reference base for calculation will be the average price per litre in force on the date of our last tariff update, December 2021, published by the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda.

Official average fuel price as of December 2021 = 1.3469 euros per litre.
Calculation system
The calculation system is based on the index of variation of the average price of diesel in December 2021 and the arithmetic average of the weeks of the month prior to its application.
