The Impact of Kilometer Charging on European Road Transport

For companies relying on road transport, every kilometer
is becoming more important than ever.

With recent adjustments to the kilometer charging system in
Belgium and similar developments being prepared in the Netherlands, transport
costs are increasingly linked to the distance travelled.

This means that efficient logistics planning, optimal
vehicle utilisation and well-organised transport flows are becoming key factors
in controlling overall transport costs.

Why Efficient Transport Planning Matters

Distance-based road toll systems mean that transport costs
are increasingly influenced not only by fuel, labour and operational
efficiency, but also by the number of kilometers driven.

Unnecessary mileage, empty runs or inefficient routing can
therefore quickly increase the total cost of transport.

For many companies, managing this complexity internally is
becoming increasingly challenging. Efficient logistics planning requires
experience, network optimisation and reliable transport structures.

How CG Helps Reduce the Impact of Kilometer Charging

At CG, we focus on
organising transport flows in the most efficient way possible, helping our
customers limit unnecessary kilometers and optimise vehicle utilisation.

We do this through several operational solutions:

• Careful
  route planning:
  Transport flows are organised along the most efficient corridors, helping
  avoid unnecessary mileage wherever possible.
• Double-deck
  trailers:
  By using high-capacity trailers, we can transport more cargo within the
  same trip, maximising vehicle utilisation.
• Economy
  service:
  Shipments are consolidated in a way that minimises empty kilometers and
  ensures trucks run as full as possible.
• Night
  shuttle connections to local hubs:
  Goods are transported overnight to our hubs, from where structured
  departures to specific regions are organised.

While each of these solutions already improves efficiency on
its own, they are often used in combination to optimise transport flows
even further and reduce unnecessary mileage, helping limit the impact of
kilometer-based road charges.

With 64 years of experience in European road transport,
we help companies simplify their logistics and take the complexity of transport
planning off their hands.

Instead of managing every transport detail internally, our
customers can rely on a structured network and experienced logistics teams to
keep their supply chains moving efficiently.

Keeping European Supply Chains Efficient

At CG inspired by Corneel Geerts, we continuously
monitor developments that influence European road transport.

By combining operational expertise, a strong network and
decades of experience, we help our customers organise transport in the most
efficient way possible — even as regulations and road toll systems continue to
evolve.

Because in modern logistics, every kilometer matters, but
how those kilometers are planned matters even more.
