Italy: national road‑freight stoppage 25–29 May 2026 announced by Unatras associations
In 9 daysLast Updated:
Unatras — the coordinating body of national road-freight associations (CNA Fita, Confartigianato Trasporti, FAI, FIAP, SNA Casartigiani and others), representing roughly 90% of Italy's ~100,000 road-haulage companies — has confirmed a national road-freight stoppage from 00:01 on 25 May to 24:00 on 29 May 2026. The action is driven by the unsustainable rise in fuel costs (diesel above €2/litre, even higher on motorways), with extra costs of up to €9,000 per heavy vehicle per year. Unatras demands compensatory measures and the opening of serious talks with the Government.
This alert was originally created on 22 April 2026.
