Forwarding company Josef Dischner from Weiding in the district of Cham (Bavaria) also opposed the CO2 toll. The industry is still suffering from the
Corona crisis, the disruption of supply chains, rising energy prices and high inflation. "At the current time there must be no further increases in costs," he emphasized. The situation is very tense in every respect. Dischner also saw no steering effect of the CO2 toll. Electric trucks, for example, are simply not able to carry out the transports carried out by his company.
E-trucks would have ten to 15 percent of the range of a diesel truck. "So we need significantly more range and a functioning infrastructure," said the forwarding company.
