ANTP proposals for the increase in fuels

By Writing, Magazzine Magazine

Given the increase in the price of diesel and gasoline, the members of the National Association of Private Transport (ANTP) will seek to increase the efficiency of the sector, to have safe and productive cargo transport.

The agency warned the rest of the actors involved in the supply chain

-including the government, users and carriers-, to analyze and take the necessary actions to reduce the impact and be more efficient: modernization of the vehicle fleet, training of operators to work with new and energetically efficient technologies, favoring the circulation of vehicles that allow greater security and productivity and facilitate access to credit.

Through a display, the ANTP expressed its rejection of the acts that have altered public order, as a result of the increase in fuel prices, since they discourage both national and international investment, and affect us as a country and as a society.

"The intermittent blockades that have negatively impacted some road points and cities affect the logistics of cargo transport and generate cost overruns that are reflected in the final consumer."

Given this, he made the following proposals to the authorities:

– The Ministry of Finance and Public Credit is requested to improve the release of the folios in the scrapping program destined for the fleets in the program and the man-truck, as well as to extend it to the freight transport vehicles that are state-owned .

– Have diesel with ultra-low sulfur content and improve the quality of the infrastructure.

– For motor transport, increase to 100% the accreditation of highways.

– The accreditation of the Special Tax on Production and Services (IEPS) of the fuel must be extended to gasoline and against the Value Added Tax (VAT) and not only against ISR, since a large part of the price of fuels is determined by the tax burden.

– We suggest establishing incentives for the use of alternative technologies and fuels such as hybrid and electric vehicles, which do not depend solely on the use of diesel.
