Up to 13% 'discount' on motorway tolls paid in 2025. The Ministry of Transport's resolution to allow road haulage companies to obtain a reduction on last year's charges was published in the Official Gazette.

There are several variables, from the annual amount in tolls (the discount does not apply to those who have paid less than 200,000 euro) to the details of the vehicles (including their environmental impact) that affect the cut. What is fixed, however, is the maximum percentage that can be subtracted: 13 per cent.

Less than a week for bookings

Let us start, however, with the time windows, which are very tight. The first one concerns bookings: it will start at 9 a.m. on 3 June and end at 2 p.m. on 9 June. After that, the window for data entry, digital signature and sending will open, from 9 a.m. on 23 June to 2 p.m. on 22 July, although the uploading of data must be completed by 21 July because the last day is reserved for signing and transmitting the application.

The application must be submitted exclusively online via the 'Tolls' application on the portal of the National Road Hauliers' Register, following a two-stage procedure. The procedure requires the detailed uploading of licence plates, environmental class, vehicle availability titles (ownership, leasing, rental) and, in the case of foreign vehicles, additional documentation.

Who is eligible for the reduction

Let us move on to the recipients. The benefit is reserved for haulage companies for third parties, cooperatives, consortia, consortium companies and Italian and European groupings that meet the requirements. Own account operators are also eligible, but with specific rules.

The reduction is only granted on deferred tolls with invoicing, i.e. through affiliated service providers such as Telepass, UnipolTech, DKV Euro Service, AS 24 Italia and Axxès.

The discount will only be triggered for those who have incurred at least 200,000 euro in toll costs in 2025 and have transited with Euro V, Euro VI or higher vehicles, or with alternative or electric traction, belonging to the toll classes for heavy vehicles. Older vehicles and those using light vehicles are excluded.

Up to 13%

On the annual expenditure in tolls also depends the benefit. The percentages, in fact, grow by expenditure brackets: the first (between 200,000 and 400,000) is 3% for Euro V vehicles and 5% for Euro VI or alternative traction; the second (between 400,000 and 1.2 million) is 5% for Euro V vehicles and 7% for Euro VI or alternative traction; the third (between 1.2 million and 2.5 million) is 7% for Euro V vehicles and 9% for Euro VI or alternative traction; the fourth (between 2.5 million and 5 million) is 9% for Euro V vehicles and 11% for Euro VI or alternative traction; the fifth (over 5 million) is 11% for Euro V vehicles and 13% for Euro VI or alternative traction.

The night surge

Finally, there is an additional incentive for night-time transits: if at least 10 per cent of the toll turnover derives from journeys with motorway entry between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., or with exit before 6 a.m., an additional surcharge is applied, subject to a maximum of 13 per cent.

In general, if the total amount of applications exceeds the available resources, the Committee will apply an allocation coefficient, proportionally reducing the percentages due. In other words, 13% represents the theoretical ceiling: the actual amount will also depend on the number of accepted applications.
