Key points

  • Retrofitted zero-emission vehicles should be classified based on their actual verified emissions to prevent unfair market advantages.
  • Member States may offer toll reductions for heavy-duty vehicles equipped with electrified transport refrigeration units.
  • Vehicle weight definitions will be aligned so that certain passenger cars up to 4.25 tonnes are not incorrectly charged as heavy-duty vehicles.
  • Dual-fuel vehicles registered before certain dates can use new simulations to prove their emission levels for better toll rates.
