The State contributes 15 cents and the oil companies a minimum of 5 cents per liter. The measure applies until June 30, but can be extended.
The discount of 20 cents per liter on fuel agreed by the Spanish government and the National Road Transport Committee, will enter into force on Friday, April 1, and will apply until June 30, although it may be extended.
The document signed by both parties indicates that the Executive’s support to the sector will exceed EUR 1,050 million. According to the breakdown, the State will allocate more than 600 million to the granting of a 15 cents bonus per liter of fuel to the professionals of this group, to which will be added 5 cents left – at least – supplied by the oil companies.
The Spanish government’s calculations indicate a monthly saving of about 700 euros per truck that runs on diesel.
In addition, other 450 million euros direct aid for both freight and passenger transport from the government budgets: the amount will be 1,250 euros per truck, 950 per bus, 500 per delivery van and 300 per light vehicle (taxis, VTC and ambulances).
However, a maximum of 400,000 euros per company is set.
