New Tariffs for Truck Toll Announced
Key point: In 2026, hauliers will be charged 42 million euros for external costs such as air pollution, noise pollution, and CO2 emissions for heavy vehicles. However, the adjustment of the infrastructure portion of the truck toll to inflation will be waived once. The regulation will come into effect on January 1, 2026.
Federal Law Gazette Published
And this is stated in the Federal Law Gazette published on Wednesday: Trucks with four or more axles will pay 11.49 cents per kilometer (excluding VAT) for the allocation of infrastructure costs in CO2 emission class 5. Lower emission classes pay 45.91 cents. For trucks with three axles, it is 7.66 and 30.60 cents, respectively. Those traveling on highways and expressways with two axles and weighing more than 3.5 tons must pay the state highway holding company Asfinag 5.47 and 21.86 cents per kilometer, respectively. Additional costs for special toll routes also apply.
The tariffs for the allocation of costs for traffic-related air pollution and noise pollution are significantly more complex. There are five tariff groups distributed across the three axle classes. In the best emission class for combustion engines (Euro VI), it is 1 cent per kilometer driven for four or more axles.
