The scale of the excise duty, which increases it by 40 or 50 times when a truck exceeds 5 or 8 years of age, respectively, deters Ukrainian businesses that need such transport from its mass import. This, in turn, does not make it possible to update the fleet with vehicles available to local buyers, even those that meet the Euro-5 environmental standard.

It is also worth noting that there are a few months left before the introduction of Euro-6 economy standards for trucks, which will enter into force on January 1, 2025 — which will be an additional factor in the increase in the price of imported cars of this group.
