How much is the fuel surcharge? Latest adjustments and hot spot analysis in 2024
Recently, the adjustment of domestic fuel surcharges has once again become a hot topic of public concern. With international oil prices fluctuating and the Spring Festival approaching, changes in fuel surcharges in the airlines, taxi industry and logistics and transportation fields have affected consumers' nerves. This article will combine the hot data of the entire network in the past 10 days to sort out the latest developments for you.
1. The latest standards for aviation fuel surcharges
| Route type | Adjust date | Charges | Increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| Domestic distance below 800 kilometers | January 5, 2024 | 40 yuan/person | +10 yuan |
| Domestic more than 800 kilometers | January 5, 2024 | 70 yuan/person | +20 yuan |
| International routes (Asia) | January 1, 2024 | 150-300 yuan/person | +15% |
Data show that this increase in aviation fuel surcharges was mainly affected by the situation in the Middle East. In early January, the price of Brent crude oil rose 8.3% year-on-year. Experts predict that if oil prices remain high, they may adjust again in February.
2. Current status of surcharges in the taxi industry
| city | fuel surcharge | Collection method | Implementation time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beijing | 1 yuan/shipment | The meter automatically adds charges | From December 2023 |
| Shanghai | Suspension of collection | - | December 2022 to present |
| Guangzhou | 0.5 yuan/shipment | Cash collected separately | Resumption in January 2024 |
It is worth noting that cities such as Shenzhen have switched to the "oil price linkage mechanism" to directly incorporate fuel costs into the starting price and no longer charge separate surcharges.
3. Impact on the field of logistics and transportation
According to the latest monitoring data from the Ministry of Transport, the national average fuel surcharge for road freight has reached 0.12 yuan/ton-kilometer. The specific performance of the main routes is as follows:
| transportation routes | Benchmark oil price | Surcharge coefficient | actual cost increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei-Yangtze River Delta | 7.45 yuan/liter | 8% | +320 yuan/train |
| Pearl River Delta-Chengyu | 7.62 yuan/liter | 9.5% | +410 yuan/train |
| Northeast-Northwest | 7.38 yuan/liter | 7.2% | +290 yuan/train |
4. Consumer response suggestions
1.Travel during peak hours: Airline surcharges are usually reduced by 15-20% during the off-season (March-April)
2.Choose new energy: Online ride-hailing platform data shows that 100% fuel surcharge can be saved on electric vehicle orders
3.Pay attention to policies: Some cities have a maximum limit on taxi surcharges (for example, Hangzhou stipulates that it does not exceed 1.5 yuan/time)
5. Forecast of future trends
According to the oil price adjustment mechanism of the National Development and Reform Commission, when the crude oil price exceeds US$80/barrel and continues for 10 working days, a surcharge adjustment will be triggered. Many institutions currently predict:
| Forecasting agency | Q1 oil price expectations | Probability of surcharge change | areas of influence |
|---|---|---|---|
| CICC | US$82-85 | Aviation 80%↑ | long distance passenger transport |
| UBS Securities | US$78-83 | Taxi 50%↑ | urban transportation |
| Bloomberg New Energy | US$79-81 | Logistics 60%↑ | E-commerce express delivery |
It is recommended that consumers with long-distance travel plans give priority to high-speed rail and other means of transportation that are not affected by fuel surcharges. For corporate users, you can consider signing an oil price floating clause contract with a logistics company to share cost risks.
The data statistics in this article are as of January 15, 2024. Please refer to the official announcement for subsequent adjustments. Fluctuations in fuel surcharges directly reflect changes in the energy market. Consumers need to continue to pay attention to the latest developments and make reasonable arrangements for travel and logistics plans.
