Pays-Bas: une taxe au kilomètre pour le transport de marchandises Comme nous l’avons déjà annoncé, les Pays-Bas renoncent à l’installation de portiques de péage pour le road-pricing et introduiront à la place une taxe au kilomètre. Des tests techniques, qui auront lieu à partir de 2003, devront déterminer quel système sera le plus adéquat.

C’est ce qu’a déclaré la ministre néerlandaise des Transports, Tineke Netelenbos, mardi après-midi lors du congrès NVVP ‘Choisir pour le renouvellement’ à Rotterdam. Netelenbos a dit que l’introduction de la taxe au kilomètre pour poids lourds est une conséquence du fait que l’Allemagne veut d’ici 2004 supprimer l’Eurovignette et introduire un système de taxe au kilomètre pour poids lourds.
