Trasportounito recites the epitaph of the Italian road haulage and asks the escape from Europe
The association denunciation that, with a liberalization to small table, the EU has created the foundations for the financial ruin in existence
April 16, 2013

Trasportounito recites the epitaph of the Italian road haulage. According to the trade-union association, in fact, for interventions normative section "is died" and "has expired the time also that allows to check the crisis of a field that in Italy guarantees more of 85% of the transports of goods, but that, climbed over from authorized foreign enterprises to operate below cost on the Italian territory, subissato from the debits (more than 31.000 euros for heavy means in circulation in Italy) it only survives to the margins of the legality".

Today to Genoa, introducing a dossier on the road haulage emblematically entitled "beyond the point of no return" that will be introduced to the next government and the Parliament, the summits of Trasportounito has announced that the resource to extreme measures of protest is by now unavoidable "", "there comprised - they have specified - the hypothesis of a siege of Rome through the block to indeterminate time of the Bypass".

According to the president and the general secretary of Trasportounito, Franco Pensiero and Maurizio Longo, the proliferation of the local conflicts (imminent an arrest warrant of the Sicily and the Sardinia) completely represents unheard signs from government and Parliament. Signs of desperation - they have emphasized - that they find justification in data on the financial ruin of the field. With 5.000 enterprises closed in last the six months of 2012 (2,200 in bankrupt procedure), 80,000 dependent to risk unemployment in 2013, 70% of the enterprises with a mount debits that unavoidably lead to the failure and 21% of the traffics by now "conquered" from companies of the East Europe, that they outside benefit of costs control and nonexistent controls, safety on the Italian roads does not exist by now more.
The data - Pensiero and Longo have explained - speak by themselves: 32.000 heavy means travel in Italy without insurance cover rca, 12,000 industrial means are guarded in judicial warehouses, the 18,000 vehicles abandoned from the cannibalized companies in order to recover spare parts. 27% of the heavy vehicles are not in rule, 14% travel without some respect of the times of guide and of pause, 7% are not in rule with the reviews, 5% travel in overload.

How to arise from the dead a dead? According to Trasportounito, by now the elementary norms (as the payment to thirty days and the respect of the costs minimums) are solo to apply (also - it has found the association - if they appear palliativi against the total destrutturazione of the field for which it would be necessary a strong political will). The proposal hard of Trasportounito is the escape from the EU: for the association the answer more important and brave in order to save the Italian road haulage is the escape from Europe, than - Trasportunito has denounced - with a liberalization to small table, it has created the foundations for the financial ruin in action

Dossier Road haulage
Beyond the point of no return

By now from years the Italian road haulage sees to constantly increase the scissor between rate and operating costs, with consequent an unstoppable increase of the indebtedness, a loss of being able contractual, and a worrisome structural weakening of the field. The liberalization without net of the rates, in spite of the law on the costs minimums, and the contemporary opening equally without rules of the Italian market of the transport on rubber to carriers foreign countries and coming drivers in particular from the East Europe has inferto a decisive blow to the field, oberato from an unstoppable lievitazione of the costs, from those insurance ones to the highway rates. In more occasions the contradiction of a country that transports more on rubber of 85% of the goods and that in fact, in a total is denounced programming absence and of coherent choices with the market, it allows the methodical destabilization and destrutturazione of the field.

The crisis that has pulled down on all the Italian economy has hasty the road haulage beyond the point of no return, not being profitable the abusiveness the norm as well as the only instrument for survival and pushing also the healthy companies towards a drift that it leads or in the cessation of the activity, or in the failure or, as more and more often it happens, in a systematic violation of the safety regulations.

Trasportounito will deliver a synthetic dossier to the government who will come, to the Parliament and especially to the public opinion so that the risks are put in full light that run on the Italian freeways and roads, in a situation by now outside control, that it demands a restoration and shock therapy of little clear rules, to which all, firstly the committenza, that is that it uses the road haulage, for cargo handling, are forced to adhere.

Here some advances on the dossier.

What is today the Italian road haulage third parties:

  • 103,000 active enterprises in the road haulage that exercise the activity with industrial and commercial vehicles (others 43,000 place opened not posseggono vehicles);
  • 5,000 enterprises have closed in last the six months of 2012;
  • 2,200 enterprises with bankrupt concorsuale procedure.
The Liguria case

The section of the road haulage in Liguria has lost in 2012, 3000 occupied.
The balance between new registrations to White of the Haulers for the start of the activity and that of the cancellations of the enterprises is negative of about 900 units, 500 of which in single year 2012.
In short from the 4600 enterprises in exercise at the end of the 2012 enterprises enrolled they are 3.700.
Between little weeks the problem of the refinancing of the Redundancy fund in exception will explode in Liguria, already communicated from the Liguria Region.

The crisis

  • 80.000 dependent are to risk lay-off within year 2013 (considering also the terms of the procedures cig etc…);
  • 30%, about the staff leading operating on the Italian territory speak a language of the non-EU East Europe or;
  • 3.600, the enterprises have of an own center or an own enterprise in the East Europe;
  • 21% are the average of the street cabotage of foreign enterprises that carry out services of the Italian territory inside;
  • every registered heavy means in Italy are burdened by a medium indebtedness of 31.000 euros;
  • it is of 70%, the percentage of the enterprises whose debits shortly are such to provoke the failure of the company;
  • 36.000, are the entrepreneurs involved in disputes between carriers and outsourcers, or first and according to carrier or between enterprise and dependent;
  • 15% the value that absorbs the parasitic intermediation;
  • 18% the real entity of the reduction of the road haulage rates for services;
  • 22% the contraction of the question of the road haulage services;
  • 39 the million tons of goods in less transporting;
  • 15% the medium reduction of the kilometric drafts;
  • 32% the medium quota the travels in vain;
  • 24% the reduction of the registrations of the heavy vehicles;
  • 74% of the enterprises are able not and it does not intend to invest in the short period.
The street safety that does not exist more

A panorama that has dramatic consequences on safety of the Italian roads: Here the data that do not come sayings:
  • 32,000 heavy vehicles are not covered by assurance rca (esteem that gushes from the balance between the number of registered means and those insured persons);
  • the 12.000 industrial means are guarded in judicial warehouses;
  • 18,000 vehicles abandoned in the companies and cannibalized in order to recover the spare parts;
  • the 43 incidents that have involved average heavy in last the 20 days (22 tir overturned, 6 in flames and 15 collisions)
From the controls of the carried out industrial vehicles from the Highway patrol it emerges that:
  • 27% of the heavy vehicles in circulation are not in rule with the norms of the Highway code and the discipline of field;
  • 14% of the industrial vehicles in circulation travel without the driver you respect the times of guide and rest;
  • 7% of means are not in rule with the review of the vehicle and manifest structural and mechanical inefficiencies;
  • 5% travel in overload.
