It's not just the trucks being banned on the VCI. There's another "hare-brained idea" that will affect the sector

CNN Portugal14 September 2026 at 11:42

André Matias de Almeida, spokesperson for ANTRAM, the national association of public goods transporters, reacted to the new rule banning truck circulation on the VCI, Via de Cintura Interna in Porto.

The truck ban on the VCI is not the only measure worrying the transport sector. The article's title refers to another "hare-brained idea" that will also negatively affect professionals in the field.

ANTRAM represents the interests of public goods transporters in Portugal, being an active voice in matters related to logistics and road freight transport.

The association's reactions come in the context of new restrictions imposed in the city of Porto, which likely aim to reduce heavy traffic in the urban center.

Why this matters

Transporters operating in the Porto area will be directly affected by these new restrictions, potentially facing changes in routes and distribution schedules. ANTRAM's reaction indicates that the sector is concerned about the operational and economic impact of these measures.
