The toll for vehicles weighing 3.5 tons or more in Germany
As of July 2024, a toll reform is in force in Germany, which also affects vehicles from 3.5 tonnes or more. In addition, there will be a CO2 differentiation in the truck toll. The aim of the toll reform is to include commercial freight transport of 3.5 tons or more in a cost allocation and to introduce a CO2 surcharge.
General information
Germany
Customers who are registered directly with Toll Collect (TC) can use TC's CO2 emission class finder and upload the necessary vehicle documents directly to the TC portal.
TC describes on the website that emission class 1 is stored for all vehicles registered to date. Customers can use the emission class finder to check which CO2 emission class the respective vehicle is assigned to.
From July 2023, customers can apply to change the emissions class for each vehicle directly in the TC Customer Portal.
Customers who use the Toll2Go product for the toll service in Germany and Austria and whose vehicles have a CO2 emission class higher than 1 must upload the evidence to the Toll Collect and ASFINAG Selfcare Portal.
Emission-free trucks are to be exempt from tolls until December 31, 2025. From January 1, 2026, 25 percent of the regular toll rate will be due for infrastructure costs, which corresponds to a 75 percent reduction in the toll rate - plus the toll components for noise and air pollution.
Emission-free electric vehicles and hydrogen-powered vehicles as well as vehicles with a hydrogen fuel cell will remain exempt from the toll until the end of 2025 (if you are interested, see the Toll Collect article ).
From January 1, 2026, only 25 percent of the toll rate will have to be paid for zero-emission vehicles.
Emission-free vehicles up to 4.25 tons gross vehicle weight (GVW) are permanently exempt from the toll. The promotion of light and heavy commercial vehicles with alternative, climate-friendly drive systems and the associated refueling and charging infrastructure is also to be extended until 2028.
Buses for passenger transportation are exempt from tolls in Germany until further notice.
The implementation of the proposed legislation is based on the amended Eurovignette Directive, which came into force in March 2022.
The introduction of additional CO2 pricing in the truck toll is seen as a further instrument for climate protection in road freight transport, as commercial vehicles currently produce around a third of total CO2 emissions in the transport sector. In this way, the German government wants to accelerate the switch to climate-neutral drive systems and send a signal that makes the use of trucks with alternative drive systems more attractive for the freight transport industry.
The Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport Affairs (BMDV) expects additional revenue of EUR 26.6 billion in 2024 and 2027 as a result of the CO2 differentiation for trucks weighing 7.5 tons or more.
This toll revenue will be earmarked for improving the federal trunk road infrastructure and for measures in the mobility sector - the focus is on federal railroads. The additional revenue from the toll extension to trucks weighing 3.5 tons or more will amount to 3.9 billion euros over the same period. Of this, 1.8 billion euros will be used for CO2 differentiation.
Guideline for trucks
The level of the toll in Germany is determined by Emission class, the CO2 class, number of axles and the length of the toll route driven.
In addition to motorways, federal roads are also subject to a distance-based toll.
