Freezing or reducing fuel duty was top of the wish list for respondents to the Logistics UK Industry Survey 2022/23, followed by investing in infrastructure and more support for switching to alternative fuels.
While 2022 saw initial confidence and increased business activity, the second half of the year was affected by high energy costs and cost inflation, the report found.
Despite the reduction of fuel duty by 5ppl in March 2022, the survey found the greatest deterioration in business performance was due to high fuel prices.
