Austria has joined the 1702 EasyGO+ Toll cooperation started in 2007 by Denmark, Norway and Sweden. EasyGO+ enables drivers of heavy goods vehicles above 3.5 tons travelling through the four countries to use only on board unit (OBU), which guarantees compliance with European legislation on the European Electronic Toll Service (EETS). It also allows for differing national rules and regulations and different tolling systems in each country.
“Including Austria in the new service will ease Toll payments for heavy vehicles travelling on a regular basis through the four countries. The service poses an option to future cooperation with other European countries”, says Mogens Hansen, chairman of the EasyGO+ Steering Committee.
Vehicles using the new EasyGO+ service will receive a personalised OBU, including data such as Euro emissions category, licence plate number and nationality of the country where the vehicle is registered. The OBU also allows the driver to set the number of axles of the vehicle, which is used to calculate the Toll fee in Austria.
Drivers may choose to opt out of the EasyGO+ service, but will have to replace their existing OBU if they intend to use it.
