ECGs, the association of the logistics to service of the European industry of the car, has sped up the automotive houses so that they contribute to alleviate the weight of the increase of the price of the fuel that weighs on the suppliers of logistic services.

"The political disorders in the Africa North - the president of ECGs has declared, Costantino Baldissara - have provoked to a fort increase of the price of the fuel for the European consumers and the industry. But the field of the logistics of the car has turned out particularly hit in a moment in which the inflation is making to grow other costs quickly and the benefits of the increment of the question of vehicles must still reach our associates". "The margins - Baldissara has explained - are ridottissimi in all the section and the current mechanisms of adaptation of the prices of the fuel can simply not constitute an adequate answer for the Logistics Service Providers that are fighting in order to safeguard cash flow. These strong increases of the price of the diesel engine for truck and the bunker for the ships threaten to place some of our associates with back against the wall. This will damage not only the section of the logistics, but also the automotive houses whose perspectives rest also on a efficient transport".

"We - Baldissara has said - ask our customers producers to estimate with attention the damage that these increases of the price of the fuel he is provoking to their suppliers of logistics and to take to all the measures useful to alleviate the state of suffering. In a moment in which the question of vehicles it is beginning to go back and with it the question of a efficient logistics, this is sure in their interest".

"Our associates - he has concluded the president of ECGs - must still share the profits generated from the resumption of the question of motor vehicles. Their margins are under pressure because of the unstoppable increase of the cost of all the voices: from the overhead expenses to those for maintenance of the fleet and those insurance ones. For many of they the ulterior increase of the prices of the fuel could represent the last drop. For the good of this section and all the industry is indispensable to cooperate in order to ask for an incumbent catastrophe".
