A fuel surcharge is a mechanism used to account for fluctuations in fuel prices on the market within transport costs. This allows us to adjust service pricing flexibly while maintaining transparency and fairness for our customers.
How does it work?
The fuel surcharge is based on the reference price of Eco-diesel, which is set at 3.315 PLN (the wholesale price of Diesel Oil Ecodiesel from PKN Orlen).
For every 5% change in fuel price compared to the reference price, the transport rate adjusts by 1.5%.
Example:
If the average Eco-diesel price in a given month is 3.647 PLN (10% higher than the reference price), the fuel surcharge adjustment will be +3%.
When do we update the index?
The fuel surcharge value for the upcoming month is indexed based on the average fuel price from the previous month, calculated using data published by PKN Orlen. The new index is published on the last day of each month.
| Month | Index |
|---|---|
| January | 15 % |
| February | 15 % |
| March | 18 % |
| April | 16.50 % |
| May | 16.50 % |
| June | 15 % |
| July | 15 % |
| August | 15 % |
| September | 13.50 % |
| October | 10.50 % |
| November | 12 % |
| December | 13.50 % |
The fuel surcharge is based on independent market data, ensuring full transparency of the process.

Factors influencing the road toll
The road toll rate also depends on the geographic scope of shipments within Rhenus Freight Logistics’ domestic road network. This means that the type and length of transport routes directly impact the final surcharge value.

The indexation indicator is a mechanism that adjusts the pricing of services or products based on changes in key economic factors such as inflation, fuel costs, or wages. Its purpose is to align prices with current market conditions, ensuring they reflect the actual operational costs of the service provider.
As of March 1st each year, Rhenus will be entitled to adjust all prices and rates specified in the Price List or the Additional Services Price List, particularly in the Individual Price List or the Individual Additional Services Price List.
Rhenus will determine the value of the Indexation Indicator based on the following methodology:
