Toll exemption for electric trucks extended until 2031 in Germany
On an European scale, the EU Commission has recently proposed toll exemption for electric trucks until 2031, as well. The proposal is being discussed by European insitutions, although it would not be mandatory in every single country. Its adoption depends on the decisions taken by the various governments.
In Germany, toll exemption for electric trucks has been extended until June 30, 2031. The Bundestag has voted today with a large majority. Currently, electric trucks were exempted from toll payment until the end of the current year.
Moreover, as pointed out by Milence, “since December 2023, a CO₂ surcharge has been applied to combustion-engine trucks under the German truck toll system. This continues to widen the cost gap in favour of electric trucks, in Germany”.
