Free travel for the big trucks

Rosenheim, September 30th 2022. maut1.de is one of the leading providers of toll boxes in German-speaking countries, which has so far mainly served private customers in the passenger car sector. Due to the high demand from haulage companies and businesses, the start-up from Rosenheim has now decided to launch a toll box specifically for trucks over 3 m high and weighing more than 3.5 tonnes. This currently works in Austria, Italy, France, Spain and Portugal. The box does not have to be connected to the power supply or activated. It is sufficient to attach it to the windscreen. With the device, commercial users can pay the charges without stopping, saving valuable time, especially in the haulage industry. The box can be ordered online and costs 19.90 euros once for activation (plus 3.90 euros shipping). The annual fee of 74.90 euros is due with the first invoice. And then the distances actually recorded are charged in each case, including a surcharge of 5 per cent. "We are starting to offer toll solutions in the truck sector and want to expand our product range to include additional countries soon," announces maut1.de managing director Julian Schmelzer.
