An increase that comes at the wrong time for highway managers
Still, this increase comes at the wrong time, for two reasons. Indeed, motorway managers are in turmoil after the publication by The chained Duck of revelations. According to an expert mission, they would be too profitable. Profitability would be close to 12%, far from the 7.67% forecast in 2006. A 60% reduction in tariffs was recommendedfor the year 2022.
The context is also not favorable to a further increase for motorists in general. In addition to motorways, car prices have exploded since the Covid crisis and Fuel prices are at their highest right now.. This is why Vinci Autoroute has announced a blocking of the tariff for certain sections, for this year 2023.
