“The state wishes there were incentives for hybrid and electric vehicles,” said Monday morning on RMC Secretary of State in charge Transport, Alain Vidal. JDD explained Sunday that the government and the motorway concessions – currently under negotiation – focused on a new track of modulating the price of tolls according to vehicle pollution level. Thus, from 1 January 2016, diesel cars would pay more than say own.
If confirmed the introduction of several rates, Alain Vidal, however, said there ” would be no punitive toll for diesel vehicles, “which are the most polluting. “There are discussions and proposals that may be made on cuts, tariff reductions for clean vehicles. But this can lead to the fact that there would be a penalty or an increase for diesel vehicles. I think there was there a shortcut that is not based on any basis “, had already indicated the Secretary of State on Sunday iTV.
A double modulation rates
Rest that the introduction of different prices – desired by motorway companies – will in future double modulation rates. Even three with clean diesel and gasoline engines. If at 1 January 2016, the price for diesel vehicles, which will be higher than the blow clean vehicles, does not increase compared to 2015, what about future years? Indeed, the modulation of tariffs – and possible increases to come. – Can now be of different size depending on the vehicle
In 2015, discussions continue regarding the increase will come into force February 1. Highways hope they, up 0.57% rate. If a freeze on tolls, defended by the Minister Segolene Royal, seems unlikely, near the government confided Sunday to JDD the motorway companies “make an effort” and that both parties were working “a profound rethinking of contracts.” Especially if the system of double modulation, which could be favorable to them eventually adopted.
Embedded in the Macron law
This “green pricing”, to be finalized this week , will be included in the bill for the growth and activity, called “Macron law.” It happens in public at the National Assembly from the 26th of January. Regarding implementation, it could be through the establishment of a sticker that would classify vehicles by pollution levels. A system that already works the Minister of Ecology in its management of pollution peaks.
In late November, fence environmental conference, Manuel Valls had promised the establishment, in 2015, of an “identification system for vehicles according to their emissions,” which “will help communities develop policies promoting cleaner vehicles.” “In France, the diesel engine has long been favored. It still is. (…) It was a mistake, we must gradually return it with intelligence and pragmatism,” had said Prime Minister. “If there is need for laws, I will write in the bill (on the energy transition) that debate back on February 7″ in the Senate, for its part had completed Ségolène Royal.
