European Parliament approves reduced tolls for low- and zero-emission vehicles
The European Parliament has updated the rules defining the charges member states can impose on vehicles using Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) roads. The aim of the new rules is to shift road charging from a time-based model to a distance-based or kilometers-driven system, to better reflect the polluter-pays and user-pays principles. Member states will generally… Read more »
