The greening of the 2024 budget hit a first stumbling block. To save money while respecting its promise not to increase taxes, the government intended to tackle the “brown niches”, that is to say trim the tax advantages which have a negative impact on CO2 emissions.2. Bercy wanted to take an emblematic measure in particular: to abolish tax reductions on diesel for heavy goods vehicles. Nothing will happen.

The firm position of the government, displayed until very recently, was shattered by the economic reality of the sector. “The level of diesel taxation is 45 cents for road hauliers. This is higher than what is practiced in Spain and Italy. I will not weaken our carriers! “, justified the Minister of the Economy Bruno Le Maire, this Thursday, on France Info.
