Fuel surcharge/Variable surcharges

After wages, fuel costs are the biggest cost item in the transport industry. Our diesel fuel surcharge is based on the guidelines of the Belgium Government, you can find these at:

As diesel prices regularly fluctuate and cannot be influenced, Schenker nv applies a fuel surcharge. We publish an up-to-date summary of the diesel surcharge every month.

Schenker nv reserves all rights to define both the height of the percentage as well as the duration of the surcharge. Please check our web page on a regular basis for alterations.
 

CAF surcharge Switzerland

The CAF surcharge corresponds to the current exchange rate CHF-EUR. The starting point we use can be found at: exchange rate CHF-EUR

We use the following method, which will be updated on a monthly basis:

Basis per 1 January 2015:         1.2027 = 0%
Exchange rate on 1 March:      1.0735 = difference 12.0%

Figures show that the share of the costs calculated in Swiss francs is 40% for groupage. For LTL / FTL this is 25%.

Example:
Based on the rate of exchange on 1 March 2015:
Shipments < 2,500 kg: 12% x 40% = 4.80%
Shipments > 2,500 kg: 12% x 25% = 3.00%

Calculation on 1 November 2024:
Shipments < 2,500 kg: 27.58% x 40% = 11.03%
Shipments > 2,500 kg: 27.58% x 25% = 6.90%

Calculation on 1 October 2024:
Shipments < 2,500 kg: 27.92% x 40% = 11.17%
Shipments > 2,500 kg: 27.92% x 25% = 6.98%
