In response to various members’ inquiries to be guided by the association on the costings of various routes and especially in lieu of the recent fuel increases, the KTA Costing Committees (Mombasa and Nairobi) have considered the current prices of fuel and other costs to come up with the minimum costs incurred by transporters when delivering goods to various destinations.
The minimum transport cost is USD 2.12 per kilometer one way for transit cargo excluding road user.
The minimum transport cost is Kshs 225 per kilometer one way for local cargo but does not include last mile whose costs vary.
Members can then use the kilometres to the various delivery points to calculate costs to various destinations.
Note that, fuel at the current rates of Ksh123.3 per litre forms 47% of the costs.
Further, please note this is a cost guidance only to be used by our members who are at liberty to decide on their margins.
A sample of two route costs are below.
