The ADAC rejects the construction industry’s demand for a car toll.
“The introduction of new fees for car drivers is senseless and does not take into account the development of burdens” said an ADAC spokesperson to the Funke Media Group’s Monday editions. She referred to the CO2 price, which will significantly increase the state’s revenue from the automotive sector by mid-next century.
“The introduction of the European CO2 price in 2027 will lead to significantly higher burdens” the spokesperson said. Moreover, the truck toll was strongly increased just a year ago, yet this did not lead to higher investments in highways and federal roads. In a discussion about the long-term revenue development, the overall burden on the road traffic should not be overlooked.
