2. v UNECE WP 6 01.06.2010 – 03.06.2010 2 1. What is the HGV toll? The HGV toll is a charge levied on Heavy Goods Vehicles using Germany's federal motorways (road user charge). The amount of toll to be paid by the road user depends on the number of kilometres actually driven on the motorway (distance-based charge). Tolls are charged for a specific vehicle with a specific number plate.

3. v UNECE WP 6 01.06.2010 – 03.06.2010 3 2. What vehicles are subject to the HGV toll? All vehicles or vehicle combinations exclusively intended for road haulage whose maximum permissible weight - including trailer - is 12 tonnes or more are subject to the road toll. In terms of the toll, no distinction is made between vehicles that carry goods and those who do not carry any, vehicles that are used for commercial purposes and those that are used for own-account transport operations vehicles that are subject to motor vehicle tax and those that are not. The decisive factor is whether the type of vehicle using a motorway is, by virtue of its typical and exclusive purpose, suitable and intended for regular and permanent use in road haulage.
