Below you will find a series of tools to assist you with monitoring fuel prices over the last 12 months, how these affect overall transport costs as well as FTA's latest forecast of bulk diesel prices to the end of 2008.
- Operator tools
- Fuel price movement over the last 12 months
- Fuel as a percentage of annual hgv operating costs
FTA's 'fuel fractions' table shows fuel costs as a proportion of total annual vehicle and driver cost for a range of hgv.
Using information from this table and fuel price movement over the last 12 months (see operator tools), it is possible to calculate the annual change in vehicle operating costs occurring purely as a result of the movement in fuel prices.
Example
A 44 tonne artic runs 70,000 miles a year, 35 per cent of its total costs are fuel. If diesel prices have risen by 18.6 per cent over the last year, the total vehicle operating costs will have risen by 6.5 per cent.
35 per cent x 18.6 per cent = 6.5 per cent - Short term bulk diesel price forcast to Q4 2010
