Fuel Surcharge Mechanism
The fuel surcharge mechanism has been introduced to ensure that pricing for Meest services remains aligned with current market conditions. It enables automatic adjustments to the fuel surcharge rate based on the average retail diesel prices (excluding taxes) published by the European Commission’s Weekly Oil Bulletin Access source.
This mechanism supports pricing transparency, operational efficiency, and integration with automated billing systems.
Geographical Coverage: the fuel surcharge mechanism applies to the following markets:
- Poland
- Czech Republic
- Slovakia
- Hungary
- Romania
- Bulgaria
- Greece
Each country operates with an individual entry threshold, corresponding to the average diesel price recorded in January 2025, which serves as the baseline for surcharge calculation.
