Nick Leggett: Transport NZ CEO says diesel has become a significant business cost for some operators
Transport NZ says soaring diesel prices are putting transport operators out of business.
Average diesel prices have hit over $2.50, compared with the average price of 91 at $2.60 without taking into account road user charges.
Transport NZ chief executive Nick Leggett told Mike Hosking diesel has become a significant business cost for some.
“We have seen the price of diesel as a proportion of total business costs from about 25 percent a year ago, to over two thirds now for some operators.”
