Call for Addressing Truckers’ Woes

Lack of supervision over the supply of motor oil and tires, non-clearance of imported trucks, continued use of decrepit vehicles and high customs duties are the main problems facing truckers, according to the head of Iran’s National Association of Truckers.
"There is no supervision over the supply of spare parts and the price of motor oil offered to truckers in the market," Firouz Khodaei was also quoted as saying by Khabar Khodro.
The official calls for facilitating truck fleet renewal by reducing customs duty to help truckers purchase vehicles at a more affordable price.
Noting that the supply of motor oil at stable prices has become a challenging task, he said, "One of the basic problems discussed invariably in the meetings of truckers’ association is the shortage of motor oil. At the beginning of the current fiscal year [March 21], with the follow-ups of the association, some factories distributed truck motor oils at the government rate in several terminals, which has now stopped.”
