The European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) believes that the main objective of revising the existing European road charging system (the so-called ‘Eurovignette Directive’) should be to improve clarity, transparency, predictability, proportionality and charging differentiation in order to further encourage the use and uptake of cleaner vehicles.
As the ACEA Position Paper on Road Charging and the Eurovignette Directive sets out, the review should also result in the further harmonisation of the technologies and charging systems used throughout the European Union.
