On 1 January, tolls will increase in the toll ring – Greater Oslo

With an electric car, it will be around 20 per cent more expensive to pass each toll station. Petrol and diesel cars get a ceiling increase of around 10 per cent. But electric cars still only have to pay a little over half of what fossil cars do. Electric vans will still run for free. The toll company Fjellinjen announces the new rates on Thursday. They were adopted by the Roads Directorate in October, and will come into force on 1 January 2025. 83 TOLLS: The price increase applies to the city limits and in the two toll rings inside Oslo.

It was decided how NOK 93 billion in tolls from motorists will be used for the next twenty years. 96 percent use public transport, cycling and walking. The 83 toll stations in Oslo and on the city border have over a million passings daily. Here are the new tariffs: – The change will ensure funding for central transport projects and contribute to zero growth in passenger car traffic by stimulating increased use of public transport, cycling and walking, writes Fjellinjen in a press release. Increasingly more expensive When the rates are raised at the turn of the year, this will be the third major price increase in the toll rings in less than three years. Also on 1 September 2022 and 1 January 2024, the tariffs were raised more than the usual price increase. Heavier cars do not receive an increase in this round. In return, vehicles over 3.5 tonnes will receive a sharp toll jump on 1 January 2026. Published 21/11/2024, at 09.19 Updated 21.11.2024, at 09.22
