CO2 toll for trucks in EU member states

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.

*Up to now, the truck toll has applied to vehicles weighing 7.5 tons or more. From July 1, 2024, all vehicles with a technically permissible total mass of more than 3.5 tons will have to pay tolls for the use of federal trunk roads.

In order to keep the increased administrative effort associated with the CO2 toll as low as possible, for example for CO2 classification, registration and billing of the CO2 toll, we will of course be at your side as your reliable partner with the usual high quality of service.

The EU has set itself an ambitious target:
By 2030, CO2 emissions from road traffic are to be reduced by 30% (compared to 2005).

To achieve this goal, from December 2023 there will be a new assessment method to determine the CO2 emissions of vehicles over 7.5 tons* and assign them to one of five CO2 classes. The classification in a toll tariff will be extended accordingly by the grouping in a CO2 class.

The CO2 toll tariffs apply in Austria for vehicles over 3.5 t. Customers who are registered for the toll in Austria through ASFINAG must notify ASFINAG of their assigned CO2 class and upload the required vehicle documents in the ASFINAG SelfCare portal or send them by e-mail (euroclass@asfinag.at ) to ensure they are billed correctly.
