According to BT and the energy company OK, the Danish state is losing hundreds of millions of dollars from transport companies and truck drivers who refuel diesel vehicles in Sweden.
Diesel is cheaper in Sweden, which is why trucks travel across the Øresund Bridge to refuel, Berlingske wrote on Wednesday.
According to figures from the energy company OK, seen by the media, you can save about two kroner for every liter of diesel you fill up in Sweden.
This appears to be attractive to truck drivers and transport companies that use large amounts of fuel.
“It is no different from the fact that there are border shops in Germany that Danes are flocking to because of an imbalance in the tax system,” the chief executive of the Danish Trade Organisation for Transport and Logistics (DTL) told the media.
OK estimates that more than 137 million liters of diesel will be purchased in Sweden instead of Denmark due to the price difference.
According to the newspaper “Berlingski”, this means that the state will lose approximately 580 million kroner in fuel taxes.
