Geographically located at the heart of Europe, Germany is a central hub of international truck traffic. Rapid growth in the volume of freight transport has placed a tremendous burden on German motorways. This has resulted in increased investment requirements for maintenance and expansion.
Germany has introduced a distance-based toll for all trucks of twelve tonnes gross vehicle weight and above, in order to redistribute these costs to all users - from inside and outside Germany.
As a service provider, acting on behalf of the Federal Republic of Germany, Toll Collect has set up a toll system that is capable of calculating and collecting road use charges based on the distance travelled. In addition, the Toll Collect system ensures that the collection of road tolls does not disrupt traffic flow. In contrast to conventional toll systems, Toll Collect does not require vehicles to slow down or stop, or restrict them to a designated lane.
