The CO₂ surcharge will be introduced in Germany on December 1.
As of December 1, most carriers use a higher Maut for shipments through and through Germany.
The Maut reform is part of a package of measures by the German government to encourage the use of environmentally friendly measures. If you still show fixed sales prices in your check-out, it is important to adjust them. Do you use the Dynamic checkout van Wuunder then you don't have to do anything at all.
In addition to a significant rate increase, new, complex regulations will also come into effect. This makes determining the toll rate for the vehicle more complex.
What will change?
From December 1, 2023:
- A toll applies to vehicles with a technical maximum mass of at least 7,5 tonnes (box F.1 on the RDW registration certificate).
- The criteria for the toll rate are the CO₂ emission class of the vehicle, the number of axles in the total combination and the share of noise pollution, air pollution and infrastructure.
- The toll rate is made up of a share of noise pollution, air pollution, infrastructure and CO₂ emissions. The biggest change is that the Maut rate will be expanded with a CO₂ component.
From January 1, 2024:
- CNG and LNG vehicles are no longer exempt from Maut.
From July 1, 2024:
- It is especially important for couriers to know that vehicles with a technically permissible maximum mass of more than 3,5 tonnes become subject to Maut (field F.2 registration certificate).
