As a result of the epidemic, road transport has appeared below cost: the Hungarian Association of Logistics Service Centers (MLSZKSZ) is striking. According to their calculations, this practice, which is usually carried out by foreign businessmen, affects approximately 20 per cent of carriers shipped from Hungary, putting players in the national road transport market in an impossible position.

The organization has examined around a hundred transport tasks among its member companies and, on this basis, considers that it is impossible to carry out reliable transport activities below the average market price of 35%, that is, at a cost of around of one euro per kilometer at a price of 0.65 euros per kilometer. These prices no longer cover the basic technical and safety costs of short-term transport.
After two trucks capsized on the M1 on Monday, another 3 crashed and one burned on Tuesday morning.
Our calculation returned a shocking result. Those who undertake and deliver for a fee of 65 cents a kilometer are actually sending 40-ton time bombs onto the road that could explode anytime, anywhere, causing disaster.

The vehicles will not be taxed, the operating costs of the company are not covered by the freight, there is no depreciation, that is, they cannot replace obsolete vehicles, in addition, these companies Drivers are also likely to be forced into wrongdoing, the expert said.
