In Germany, all trucks weighing over 7.5 tonnes must pay distance-based toll charges for the use of paid roads. The toll obligation applies to all federal freeways and highways, motorways, and all federal truck roads. The toll network in Germany is quite long - ca. 52 000 km.
Toll charges can be settled automatically using the on-board unit (OBU) or directly with your EW card at the toll terminal. The tax is calculated based on:
Germany collects tolls using GNSS technology (Global Navigation Satellite System). With this technology, the toll road payment transactions are simplified for truck drivers, since they do not need to stop at toll gates. Furthermore, this technology does not require the installation of roadside infrastructure.
