New fact sheet details how relief measures affect heavy vehicle operators.
The fuel excise paid per litre has been reduced from 52.6 cents to 20.6 cents.
This took effect from 1 April and will run for three months. Fuel is expected to be 32 cents per litre (plus GST) cheaper at the bowser.
The Australian Government has also reduced the road user charge (RUC) from 32.4 cents per litre to zero for three months.
In total, heavy vehicle operators are expected to save 32.4 cents for every litre purchased over this period.
For every 200-litre tank filled, that means a $64.80 saving.
