From 01 December 2023, all commercial vehicles over 7.5 tonnes* must pay a CO2-dependent truck toll in Germany. Up to now, the truck toll applied to vehicles weighing 7.5 tons or more; the truck toll will apply to vehicles weighing 3.5 tons or more from July 1, 2024. I.e. for vehicles from 3.5 tons, the determination of the CO2 class will only be relevant as of 01.07.2024.
It is yet to be announced when the regulation will come into force in the other EU member states.
We will inform you regularly about changes on this website.
