Dear customer,
Its location at the heart of Europe has made Germany the hub of international truck traffic,
with thousands of vehicles from throughout Europe driving through the country every day.
Transportation of goods is increasing constantly, which puts an enormous strain on the
roads and means that investments must be made to maintain and expand them.
To ensure that users contribute to these costs in an equitable way, in January 2005 the
German government introduced a distance-based toll for all domestic and foreign trucks.
From 01/10/2015 this toll applies for a gross vehicle weight of 7.5 tons or more.
As part of a public private partnership, Toll Collect was commissioned by the German government to develop and set up a toll system that combines satellite positioning with stateof-the-art wireless technology. The charges are levied according to the distance travelled on
toll roads, the number of axles and the emission class, including the air pollution costs.
Toll Collect has created a system in which toll collection does not interfere with traffic flow.
Unlike most conventional toll systems, the innovative technology makes it unnecessary for
vehicles to reduce their speed, stop or stay within prescribed lanes. The result is an advanced and flexible system for German and European haulage companies to pay toll.
The technical design of the Toll Collect system also means that it supports other toll systems. The TOLL2GO service has been set up in conjunction with ASFINAG, the Austrian toll
operator. TOLL2GO enables the toll for vehicles weighing 7.5 tons or more to be paid in
Austria using the Toll Collect On-Board Unit installed in the truck.
This brochure provides all the information you need to know about truck toll in Germany from registration to log-on options to the toll statement.
We hope you always have a good journey.
Kind regards,
Toll Collect
