In 2021, the increase in full cost reached +5.2% in long-distance transport, driven in particular by inflation in maintenance and repairs at +3.6%.

For 2022, inflation forecasts for costs excluding diesel fuel range from +3.4% to +4.6% on average for the year. The most significant factor remains the cost of driving personnel. Given the uncertainty surrounding its evolution, the CNR has based its forecasts on two scenarios, ranging from +4.5% to +7.2%. Other items showing an increase include the price of rolling stock, for which the CNR is assuming inflation of +10% per annum, and maintenance, which is expected to be between +3.8% and +4% per annum for an articulated train.
