  People were searching for the convoy of lorries crawling along motorways in the north of the country on 25 September: it is a protest by companies that haul sand and gravel and carry out earthworks. At around 7.40am, more than a hundred tipper trucks set off from Lordelo in Paredes, and up to 500 vehicles were expected to join them along the way. The route takes in the A42, A41 and A1 towards Coimbra, and the protest was due to last until about 1pm. The firms want to be allowed to use the discounted “professional” diesel that hauliers get: since 27 February the price of a litre of diesel has risen from €1.59 to €2.22.

  If you are driving on the A1 between Porto and Coimbra, or on the A41 and A42 near Porto, before lunch today, allow extra time: the convoy is moving slowly and taking up lanes. The infrastructure minister, Miguel Pinto Luz, will meet representatives of the firms on Monday, 28 September. Current prices per litre in each district are on our Fuel prices page.
