Transport NZ says soaring diesel prices are putting transport operators out of business. Average diesel prices have hit over $2.50, compared with the average price of 91 at $2.60 without taking into account road user charges. Transport NZ chief executive Nick Leggett told Mike Hosking diesel has become a significant business cost for some. “We have seen the price of diesel as a proportion of total business costs from about 25 percent a year ago, to over two thirds now for some operators.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
