From 1 January 2023, new tariffs for truck tolls will apply in Germany. In particular, the proportion of the toll rate for air pollution and noise pollution will be differentiated according to weight class from January, which is different from previous practice.

On 25 November 2022, the Bundesrat approved the fifth amendment to the German Federal Trunk Road Toll Act (BFStrMG), which contains the toll rates applicable with effect from 1 January 2023. Publication of the act in the Federal Gazette signifies the conclusion of the legislative process.

Alternatives are the automatic method or the Toll Collect app

From today, new software will be distributed to more than 1.2 million on-board units (OBUs). The OBUs for toll collection will receive the update automatically via mobile networks.
