The European Commission aims to enhance the competitiveness of sustainable road transport by exempting zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles from road tolls and user charges. An extension of the exemption period is proposed from December 31, 2025, to June 30, 2031. This initiative incentivizes investment into zero-emission vehicles, addressing the higher upfront costs compared to conventional vehicles. The waiving of tolls and user charges is intended to bolster the business case for zero-emission trucks and buses, thereby supporting wider deployment and adoption in the market.
