THE new edition of CM Tables of Operating Costs, about to be published, shows that total operating costs have escalated by up to 22 per cent in a year, according to the type of vehicle and the annual mileage.
However, the willingness of the oil companies to negotiate special prices for bulk delivery has contained the price of fuel and this has helped to keep the overall cost within acceptable limits.
To be published this month, the Tables have been compiled with the collaboration of road freight and passenger operators and based on price increases communicated to CM by manufacturers and suppliers of components and services.
The Tables cover a range of vehicles up to maximum permitted gross weight units.
Further details of the way operating costs have moved appear in an article on page 24 of this issue.
