Question 6648 — road transport

Summary

Mr. Philippe Schreck draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty to the exceptional aid promised to road hauliers in the face of rising diesel prices and other costs. The economic situation in the sector is clearly deteriorating and the outlook for the first half of 2023 is particularly pessimistic. The latest CNR index for professional diesel shows an increase annual rate of 47.92% at the end of 2022 and its evolution for the year 2023 concerns all professionals. Added to this is a drop in volumes observed since September 2022, the increase in motorway tolls of + 4.75% on February 1, 2023 and galloping inflation in all operating areas. It should also be remembered that the sector has concluded two social agreements leading to an increase in sector salaries of 12% in 2022. Companies in the sector are all the more worried that the worsening economic conditions also risk impacting their ability to fulfill their obligations to green their fleets, recalling that the European Commission recently proposed that trucks reduce their CO2 emissions by 90% (compared to the 2019 level) by 2040 with intermediate objectives of - 45% from 2030 then - 65% in 2035. accumulation of economic difficulties portends numerous failures. Throughout the latest crises, particularly during the Covid-19 lockdowns or the refinery strike, fellow citizens and the country's economy have been able to fully count on the commitment of road hauliers. While new threats weigh on this sector, despite the requests expressed on several occasions by the “big rollers” and the efforts granted on salaries in these times of inflation, the targeted aid paid in 2022 has not been extended. However, urgent and immediate economic aid is necessary in order to safeguard the competitiveness of the French flag. In France, individuals were able to benefit from significant support from the State and Spain, for its part, also offers its road transport professionals a discount on fuel which is extended until June 30, 2023. But French professionals are today left behind. He therefore calls on him to hear the desperate appeals of road hauliers and asks within what time frame and under what terms the Government intends to deploy emergency measures and proceed with the payment of aid aimed at supporting this sector which is experiencing serious difficulties.
