In 2022, the increase in full cost price reached +18.5% for a diesel-powered heavy goods vehicle and +43.3% for an LNG-powered heavy goods vehicle. The surge in energy costs in 2022 (+45.7 % for the commercial diesel index, +127.5 % for the CNR NGV fuel index on an annual average) had a considerable impact on cost inflation in 2022. The increase in driving personnel costs also weighed heavily on the evolution of TRM costs in 2022: three revaluations of the conventional salary scales in 2022, with a total impact on the year of +12.4 %. The appreciation of vehicle prices by +11 % is also noteworthy.

For 2023, the inflation forecast for non-fuel costs is around +8.8% on average for the year. The main factor remains the cost of driving personnel (+12.7% on average for the year for salaries and social security contributions). Among the other items showing an increase for an articulated vehicle, maintenance is expected to be +6.6% on an annualised basis, tolls around +4.6% and equipment ownership costs +4.3%.
