Do you know how much a Euro 5 engine could save you in Germany?
20/01/2009 Eindhoven
The new road toll tariffs came into effect in Germany on 1 January 2009.
The new tariffs mean that you will pay significantly more for a truck conforming
to emission standards Euro 1 to Euro 4 than you will for a Euro 5 or EEV
vehicle. Depending on the Euro standard to which your truck conforms and the
number of kilometres you cover in Germany each year, you could save thousands of
euro by opting for a Euro 5 vehicle.

Considerable tax benefits
If you drive over 70,000 km per year in Germany in a
Euro 3 truck, in 2009 you will pay no less than € 3430.00 more than a
colleague with a Euro 5 truck. That equates to almost five euro cents per
kilometre, so it's certainly worth your while to consider switching to
Euro 5.
