€125 per 1,000 km :Eeek:

From what have heard it will only affect goods vehicles so wont affect us at all. No need for panic funsters :thumb:

It's very confusing. In one statement it says only goods vehicles and in another it says all vehicles.

Trying not to panic at the moment. It's the first I've heard of it.

This is from the A524 website which is predominantly a fuel bunkering company for European hauliers. Quote from the top of the original webpage....The Ecotax will be introduced in France in July 2013, after an experimental period in Alsace in April 2013. It will apply to all HGVs above 3.5 tonnes, both French and foreign.

Looks like it is just for commercial vehicles not for private use ones as far as I can see.

We have a similar system coming in over here where all commercial vehicles pay a tax using our roads (our own haulage companies will get a discount on their VED to compensate)

Panic over...............Carry on where you all left off :Smile:

damn.. I was hoping for a bit more mileage out of this.. :roflmto:

From the French FAQs

WHAT VEHICLES ARE COVERED?
Are subject to tax on all vehicles transporting goods, registered in France or abroad, whose gross weight allowed, or the total weight permitted if it is an articulated, is greater 3.5 tonnes and 15 000 km via the network taxable.

Aren't motorhomes known as campingcars in France?
If that's correct then we are safe as it only applies to HGVs. ::bigsmile:

Last I heard was that in the UK charges would be £10 a day, say usage 240 days p.a then costs £2400. VED on a 44t tractor unit is currently £1200 so not much scope for recouping the extra costs there. Yet another nail in the coffin of the domestic UK haulage industry.
