Hungary lorry charge

June 20, 2012

Environmental groups in Hungary fear a surge of lorries on country roads after the Hungarian government agreed a toll for trucks that is limited to motorways and a few main roads. The toll will be a distance- and pollution-based charge coming into effect in July 2013.

The group therefore wants the toll to be introduced on all roads without exception.
