The Netherlands are now accepting the use of ecocombis (25 metre-long vehicles carrying up to 60 t) on their roads.
The tests conducted have shown that this type of road combination is more economical and cheaper that traditional combinations. It should also be noted that Sweden and Finland also permit ecocombis on their roads, while in Germany, Denmark and Norway, they are currently the subject of tests. In Belgium, exemptions may be requested if the Regions present special routes as part of pilot projects.

The mileage tax will not become a reality any time soon in the Netherlands, as the CDA, the party of the (resigning) prime minister, Camiel Eurlings, no longer supports the proposal.“There is a risk of the tax causing doubts in the minds of motorists about the compulsory installation of data loggers”, said a CDA spokesperson.
The increase in the tax on motorised vehicles and the reduction in purchase tax seem to be far from unanimously accepted.
