DUH demands extension of truck tolls – cars should also pay
The environmental and consumer protection organization additionally demands the introduction of a toll for cars, the amount of which, like the truck toll, is based on the distance traveled.
“The expansion of the truck toll to all vehicles over 3.5 tons has been overdue for more than a decade,” explains Jürgen Resch, Federal Managing Director of DUH. “Now the consistent next step of expanding the truck toll to all roads, including state and district roads, is still missing. The road and bridge damages associated with freight traffic require a consistent pricing of freight traffic on all types of roads.”
The disadvantage of rail must finally be ended: While currently only just over half of truck mileage is covered on toll roads, rail transport is disadvantaged, with fees at a full 100 percent here. And car traffic should also contribute to the costs of transforming mobility in the long term.
"But instead of finally better financing the railways with the increasing revenues from the truck toll, Porsche-Minister Wissing announces the exact opposite this week: In the next budget, one billion euros is to be shifted from rail to road," Resch continued. "Under these conditions, even an expansion of the truck toll cannot help achieve climate targets."
The top priority for the DUH is the expansion of local and long-distance public transport. In cities, an infrastructure must be created that allows distances of less than 10 kilometers to be covered easily and safely by bicycle. Motorized individual traffic must be significantly curbed, and cars must largely be kept out of city centers. To this end, drivers must pay the true cost of their mobility. The cars that will continue to be allowed in densely built-up city centers must be locally emission-free in the near future.
