  3. Eurovignette Directive implementation

More than a year has passed since March 2024, the deadline for Member States to implement the Eurovignette Directive, which sets the rules for truck road tolls across the EU. While most countries have now transposed the rules into national law, practical implementation, such as updating tolling systems, is still ongoing in several Member States.

ECG’s 2025 report, an update to the 2024 edition, provides an overview of the current implementation status across the EU, including helpful links for calculating tolls where applicable. It also highlights recent EU-level developments, including proposed extensions of toll exemptions for zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles until 2031, supporting the transition to cleaner transport.

This report follows last year’s edition and provides an updated view of progress and remaining challenges across the EU.

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.
