Costs in the Swiss transport sector are continuing to rise. "In addition to the strong franc, state requirements and fiscal burdens, in particular, are having a negative impact," criticises the Swiss commercial vehicles association Astag. They include the imposed introduction of a night-shift allowance and an inflation adjustment of the heavy vehicle fee as of 1 January 2012. Astag expects transport prices to rise by 3 to 5% in general cargo and overland traffic next year.
