Introduction of German toll until 2020

It will certainly take until 2020 before toll charges for foreign motorists are introduced on German roads.

The tendering procedure would have been delayed, government sources say. There would also still be too many problems with the protection of personal data of motorists. Suppliers of the toll collection system also say that they find their financing difficult to get around because banks would be difficult to do.

Every year more than 22 million trips to Germany are made with Dutch vehicles. The total toll damage for motorists will amount to 60 to 100 million euros per year.

The plans from Berlin offer especially little good for people with a large diesel. The costs for an annual vignette can be as high as 130 euros.
