The Total Passango e-tag for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), which is already accepted in France, Spain, Portugal and the Belgian Liefkenshoek tunnel, will be accepted in Belgium from the beginning of 2017, as part of the new kilometre-based VIAPASS toll system. By the end of 2016, the tag will also be accepted in Austria and on the bridges linking Denmark to Sweden.

    Belgium to implement road charging for trucks
    A tax per kilometre is to be implemented for all lorries weighing over 3.5 tonnes throughout Belgium from 1 April 2016. The system will be based on satellite technology, using on board units (OBUs), which drivers will collect at a distribution point. The OBU will register the distance travelled by the vehicle and on which roads. Mileage data will be transmitted to a data centre and an invoice generated, which the driver will pay on returning the OBU. The rate of road pricing will vary depending on t

    The European GINA project is intended to address and overcome many of the institutional, technical and public acceptance hurdles currently faced by satellite-based road user charging schemes. Dave Tindall and Denis Naberezhnykh, TRL, and Laure Dezes, ERF, write. Pay-as-you-drive Road User Charging (RUC), whereby demand (or congestion) is managed by applying appropriate tariffs in order to encourage drivers to make their journeys at less busy times, on less congested routes or even on different modes, could
