In January 2005, Germany introduced a new tariff system on 12000 km of their motorway for all vehicles with a permitted transport weight of > 12 tons. This new system called LKW-Maut, is a form of tax that the German Government applies on trucks over 3.5 tons and is based on the distance in kilometers traveled, number of axles and emissions.

to 13.5 cents. The decision was taken by the German Parliament
on the initiator of the Transport Ministry.

another increase was announced. Current tariff cost is between
EUR 0,141 and € 0,288 per axle and emissions.

the Maut is estimated to be raised again.

the new Eurovignette directive is inserted in all EU countries. All freight
vehicles from 3.5 tons (allowed weight) will pay customs fees.
