Commission proposes to exempt zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles from road tolls until 2031
To stimulate and support the competitiveness of sustainable road transport, the European Commission is proposing to exempt zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles from road tolls and user charges.
As pledged in its Industrial Action Plan for the European automotive sector, the Commission is proposing to extend the current exemption period from 31 December 2025 to 30 June 2031, providing a significant incentive for companies to invest in zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles.
The upfront cost of these vehicles is currently higher than their conventional counterparts, making them less attractive to buyers. This remains one of the main barriers to their wider deployment. By waiving tolls and user charges, the EU intends to make zero-emission trucks and buses a more viable option for businesses.
“We need to create the right conditions to support European companies and reward early movers in the transition to a low-carbon economy," said Commissioner for Sustainable Transport and Tourism Apostolos Tzitzikostas. "By extending the exemption period, we are providing a strong business incentive for industry to invest in zero-emission vehicles and reduce emissions from road transport. It's important for our companies but also for our climate objectives."
The proposed exemption period will be synchronised with the EU's CO2 emission performance standards for new heavy-duty vehicles which target a 43% reduction in emissions by 2030.
