Road carriers: hundreds of Hungarian businesses have been put at risk because of Ukrainian freight carriers

Árvay Tivadar said on the phone: in view of the war situation, the European Union allowed Ukrainian goods suppliers to appear on the common market – basically for humanitarian deliveries.

The permit was extended until June 2024, with the result that the mileage of Ukrainian trucks on Hungarian public roads has now increased by more than 30 percent, while the mileage of Hungarian vehicles has decreased by 4 percent.

He added that Ukrainian carriers come from a completely different economic and legal environment, so their costs are also different, and EU rules do not apply to them. The Ukrainian carriers work with a significant price advantage and destroy the part of the logistics sector of the member states that concerns the carriers – emphasized the general secretary.
