How much extra per kilometre will journeys cost if Member States implement this?
The average amount is likely to be on average in the range of 4-5 eurocents per kilometre for a EURO IV truck. But this is only a rough estimate as exact charges for specific areas will vary widely and will depend on a complex set of developing circumstances, in order to ensure full reflection of the relevant external costs and provide incentives to reduce those without going beyond what is for that. The charges will be differentiated according to the pollution class of vehicles, the location of roads (suburban or interurban) and the time periods (high and medium peak, off-peak and night). The actual amount will vary from section to section as it will depend on the exact local situation, notably in terms of congestion.
