Calculate now the impact of the German truck toll increases on your business
Germany is set to implement substantial changes to its toll rates over the next 12 months, potentially resulting in a staggering cost increase of up to 83% for truck operators.
In December 2023 and July 2024, Germany will introduce extensive toll regulations that will have a substantial impact on trucking companies. The accurate calculation of toll costs and proactive planning for the impending changes have become increasingly vital for businesses operating in the transportation industry.
The timeline for these upcoming changes:
Phase 1, commencing from December 2023: The toll costs for trucks in Germany will now incorporate CO2 emissions. Going forward, the toll rate will consist of various components, including infrastructure, air pollution, noise pollution, and environmental pollution due to CO2 emissions. However, until the end of 2025, emission-free vehicles will be exempt from toll charges.
Phase 2, starting from July 2024: Toll cost increases will be extended to vehicles exceeding 3.5 tons in weight.
