GPS taxing? That's ridiculous! Fuel taxes are cheaper than that.

To make up for the changes made to the controversial "ecotax" on heavy goods vehicles the government plans to raise the tax on diesel fuel by two centimes per litre.

Probably be a lot less hassle if they just put fuel up a couple of cents.

Part of the problem is they have now set up this ecotax collection infrastucture

The 2-cents tax hike on diesel in January is more to do with deficits than eco nonsense. I don't drive an HGV and rarely use autoroutes but I do have a diesel car, like most people here. At the moment diesel is around 1.27 euros/litre locally so even with another two cents it will still be rather cheaper than England.

...and of course this is still a much nicer place to be!

FRANCE-ECOTAX SUSPENDED

Notwithstanding recent emails to the contrary, the French government announced yesterday that the ECOTAX introduction has been postponed until further notice. The haulier protests scheduled for 13 October have been called off.


I suspect that's the end of that!

I eventually got same confirmation about two weeks after you, Colin!

Now I hear that due to EU requirement for low sulphur fuel to be used on ferries from next year, an additional levy of circa £14 - £16 (for big truck) will have to be added to each crossing? Suggestion that it is just North Sea and Channel crossings- no mention of Spanish routes......

Although we don't now have to pay the French Eco tax, we find ourselves paying les continentales a surcharge on all their invoices so that they can pay the new British road user levy! As it all filters down to the consumer who pays in the end, I wonder why we bothered

Unbelievable mess!

€800 million is the amount the state will pay to Ecomouv
http://www.lemonde.fr/les-decodeurs/...ampaign=buffer

Looks like the Delivery Contract is terminated, 200 employee of Ecomouv France laid off, €2bn cost/penalties, lost revenue?
http://www.lesechos.fr/industrie-ser...at-1059244.php

"A privatized tax that would cost overpriced. The system was absurd. 40% of the tax diverted to pay a private company" Ségolène Royal, Ministre de l’Ecologie, du Développement durable et de l’Energi

Doesn't solve the huge hole in their budget, so it will be interesting to see what's next. Hope this scares the hell out of the rest of the Eco ministers

Looks like across the border, Belgium are forging ahead with a GPS toll collecting device (OBU) that all commercial vehicles over 3.5 tonnes GVW will be requested to have hard installed. The scheme will be 'live' from April 2016....

I've not seen cost of the OBU and fitting (and if has to be at a credited agent), or if a bond will have to be paid up front to cover default on future payments.....

No doubt other countries will adopt a similar but independent system, so trucks will likely finish up with a row of the darn things across the windscreen!
