No supports for hauliers until budget

The new 10-year strategy of decarbonisation for the haulage sector is said to be a main focus of Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan and Minister of State Hildegarde Naughton.

There will be no further supports for the haulage industry before the budget as the industry reaches “breaking point” over high fuel costs.

The Government has also heard “ambitious” proposals to exceed decarbonising targets in the sector by 2030 can only be met if fuel tax is cut and hauliers are incentivised to transition to greener technology.
