From April 1, Poland introduced fuel price caps, reduced VAT from 23% to 8%, and cut energy taxes to the EU minimum — aiming to ease pressure from rising energy costs.
However, the German Road Transport, Logistics and Waste Management Association has raised concerns about unfair competition.
📊 Key impact:
— Diesel in Poland is ~€0.29/l cheaper than in Germany
— ≈ €870 extra monthly cost per truck for German carriers
— Over €500,000/year for a fleet of 50 trucks
Additional pressure comes from Germany’s CO₂-related charges, adding €0.17–0.20 per litre.
📉 The result:
growing imbalance within the EU single market
Poland supports its transport sector directly — while German operators face rising systemic costs.
