Agreement on Truck Toll: This is What the FPÖ Says

FPÖ General Secretary Christian Hafenecker criticizes yesterday's agreement by the federal government to increase the truck toll. This way, the "loser traffic light" deeply reaches into the wallets of transport entrepreneurs and the population. He warned of a "hefty increase, which will further fuel inflation and price hikes." "What remains is the ignition of the inflation turbo by the system parties," said Hafenecker, who is also the FPÖ's transport spokesperson.

Agreement on Truck Toll Reached

The federal government announced Wednesday afternoon that an agreement had been reached on raising the truck toll. Accordingly, environmental costs will be increasingly charged, while there will be no increase in infrastructure costs. How much the truck toll on highways and expressways will actually rise in 2026 has not yet been disclosed by the Ministry of Transport. What was revealed yesterday: The government's goal of generating an additional 42 million euros for the budget with the increase has been achieved.

For car owners, nothing changes with the vignette; it will be adjusted to inflation next year as before. Therefore, the vignette price will increase by 2.9 percent in 2026.
