  22. Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project and Open Road Tolling

  23. Gauteng • Most freeways in Gauteng reached their capacity • Peak hours are extending by 10 to 15 minutes each year • Results in congestion and uneconomical use of time with increased vehicle operating costs and carbon emissions

  24. Economic Impact of Congestion & Insufficient Maintenance • SACCI comments (Jan 2010) : • Expressed concern about impact on business due to congestion and insufficient maintenance • Based on conservative assumptions, cost of congestion on Ben Schoeman amounts to R15m/hour • Excludes costs associated with: • Fuel and maintenance • Late freight deliveries • Lost business opportunities • Accident costs

  25. Economic Impact of Congestion & Insufficient Maintenance • AA conducted tests (August 2007) : • 1600cc vehicle travelling between Pretoria and Johannesburg • 122 Minutes additional driving per day (40 additional hours per month) • Engines operating for longer times – 1,5l/hr when idling • Additional 705 litres wasted (469 hrs idling) per annum – Extra R4 935 (R7 per litre) • 80 000 people – R395 m per year wasted • Excludes working time, frustration, accidents

  26. Maintenance and Repair Cost Increases due to Worsening Road Conditions * “The results obtained from the comparison indicate that the maintenance and repair costs of a truck increase as the condition of the road on which the truck is travelling deteriorates. When moving from a good condition road to a bad condition one, increases in vehicle maintenance and repair costs of approximately 121% can potentially be experienced. In addition, the increase in truck repair and maintenance costs due to deteriorating road conditions can potentially lead to an estimated increase of around 10% in the total logistics costs of a company. Other costs that can potentially be attributed to deteriorating road quality are increased vehicle operating costs, increased fuel consumption, increased cargo damages and ultimately increased vehicle design and manufacturing costs.”

  27. Maintenance and Repair Cost Increases due to Worsening Road Conditions *When comparing the average repair and maintenance costs of vehicles of two companies travelling on specific routes, associated to the condition ... the results potentially indicate that a truck (truck 1) from Company B travelling from Newcastle to Gauteng (300 km) has on average maintenance and repair costs of R627 per trip. A similar truck (truck 2) from the same company travelling on the N3 between Gauteng and Durban for 300 km will have on average maintenance and repair costs of only R270 per trip. If we assume that both trucks make 100 round-trips a year (200 trips in total), the total maintenance and repair costs of truck 1 could potentially amount to R125 400 per year and for truck 2 it would be R54 000. This indicates a potential percentage increase in maintenance and repair costs of 132% per year when comparing a truck travelling on a bad road with one travelling on a good road for company B. .
