Eurovignette Directive implementation - The Association of European Vehicle Logistics

The Eurovignette Directive governing truck road tolling in the EU was last modified in 2022, and Member States needed to transpose it by 25 March 2024.

Member States imposing road tolls on their national territories must follow the new requirements of the Directive.

ECG’s report shows the implementation status of the Eurovignette Directive in the EU including useful links to calculate new tolls where applicable. Currently 6 Member States out of 27 have implemented the Directive.

This report follows the briefing paper available below published by ECG in October 2023 summarizing the main cost effects of the implementation in Germany where the estimated impact per kilometre driven was a significant increase of 7.9% for car transporters.

Germany

In August ECG – The Association of European Vehicle Logistics has published a briefing paper on the substantial new CO2 tax proposed by the federal government to be included in Germany’s road tolls from 1 December 2023.

The paper provides a summary of the proposed changes to road tolls (Lkw-MAUT) and, specifically, on the introduction of a CO2 emissions tax. The purpose is to inform ECG members and other actors in the vehicle logistics sector about these changes. As a result of the proposed legislation governing road tolls in Germany, road taxes will increase significantly for logistics companies operating in Germany, or transiting the country, starting from 1 December 2023.
