From 1st of January 2024, not only infrastructure and traffic -related costs due to air and noise pollution with be included in the GO toll, but also the vehicle's traffic based CO2 emissions. The new pricing system for the mileage-based GO toll applies to vehicles with more than 3.5 tonnes of technically permissible total mass and will be introduced in stages from 2024 to 2026.

The mileage-based toll for motor vehicles over 3.5 tonnes maximum technically permissible laden mass, including surcharges for air and noise pollution and CO₂ emission is valid from 1 January 2024. The surcharge CO₂ emissions in the GO toll will be gradually increased over three years. In 2024, the GO toll increased by around +7.4 % for the majority of vehicles. Without taking inflation adjustments into account, the new CO₂ tariffs would result in the following adjustments for the majority of vehicles based on the total rates: 2025: around 5.5 %, 2026: around 5.2 %.

CO₂ emission classes are used to categorise vehicles and were introduced to reduce traffic-related CO₂ emissions and counteract environmental pollution. There are five CO₂ emission classes, with CO₂ emission class 1 being the worst and CO₂ emission class 5 being the best. The toll rate therefore also depends on how much CO₂ the vehicle emits. Vehicles with a better CO₂ emission class pay less toll than vehicles with a worse CO₂ emission class.

ASFINAG provides a customised service for determining the CO₂ emission class of the respective vehicles. With the CO₂ emission class calculator, it is easy to determine the CO₂ emission class with just a few clicks.

Three values are required to check the CO₂ emission classes:

• Date of first registration
• Vehicle subgroup
• Specific CO₂ emission value
