Cctv newsIn order to speed up the cancellation of provincial toll stations on expressways and realize fast toll collection without stopping, recently, the Ministry of Transport, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance jointly issued the Notice on Doing a Good Job in Adjusting the Toll Collection Method of Trucks. From January 1 next year, the new Classification of Toll Vehicles on Toll Roads will be uniformly implemented nationwide, and the toll collection method of trucks will be adjusted from the previous charging by weight to the unified charging by vehicle (axle).
The new industry standard "Classification of Toll Vehicles on Toll Roads" classifies trucks according to the total axle number, vehicle length and total mass. Among them, two-axle trucks with a length of less than 6 meters and a total mass of less than 4.5 tons are Class 1 trucks, and those with a length of more than 6 meters or a total mass of more than 4.5 tons are Class 2 trucks; Freight cars with three to six axles are classified into three categories, four categories, five categories and six categories respectively.
At present, all localities are upgrading the toll collection system and toll lanes, and re-calculating the toll collection standards for vehicles according to the prescribed procedures.
Gu Zhifeng, Director of Road Network Management Department of Highway Bureau of Ministry of TransportUnder the premise of legal loading, the amount of goods carried by vehicles, the same axle truck shell size and the same driving speed, his occupation of road resources is basically the same. Therefore, it is scientific, reasonable and fair to charge according to the model. Charging by this model can also guide and encourage freight enterprises to save transportation and improve the profit efficiency of the whole expressway.
Gu Zhifeng introduced that in the past, the state imposed weight-based charges on trucks, mainly to curb the "big tons and small standards" of trucks, which were overloaded and overloaded. At present, the phenomenon of over-limit and overload of expressways has been well curbed. Freight cars will be charged by vehicle type instead of by weight. At the same time, these vehicles will be equipped with ETC free of charge, so that vehicles can be weighed at the toll stations at the entrance and exit of expressways. In addition, from January 1 next year, all closed expressway toll stations in China will fully implement the weighing inspection without stopping at the entrance, and it is completely forbidden for illegal, overloaded and overloaded vehicles to drive into expressways.
Gu Zhifeng, Director of Road Network Management Department of Highway Bureau of Ministry of TransportUnder the condition of the same traffic flow, ensure that the overall burden of truck tolls is not increased, and ensure that the toll payable for each type of toll vehicle in the standard loading state is not greater than the toll payable for the original toll by weight.
