FRANZOSINI MOBILE APP: the first and only application that calculates the cost of the Swiss tax on heavy traffic. Available for free on the APP STORE.
Switzerland has always been sensitive to environmental issues and in order to discourage road traffic and especially the most polluting vehicles has established the performance-related heavy traffic charge (HVV). In short, it is a federal tax that depends on the total weight of the vehicle, the emission level and the kilometres travelled in Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein. It shall be levied on all motor vehicles and their trailers which:
– have a total weight exceeding 3,5 tonnes,
– carry out transport of goods;
– are registered in Switzerland or abroad and use the Swiss public road network.
Currently the tax rates in force since 01/07/2012 are as follows:
| Tax category | Emission class | Fare |
| The | EURO 2, 1 and | 3.10 cts. / tkm |
| II | EURO 3 | 2.69 cts. / tkm |
| III | EURO 4 and 5 | 2.28 cts. / tkm |
Reduced rate:
| III | EURO 6 | 2.05 cts. / tkm |
Reduced tariff for vehicles with a particulate filter system that comply with the particulate limit value EURO 4 (0.02 g/kWh):
| The | EURO 2 | 2.79 cts. / tkm |
| II | EURO 3 | 2.42 cts. / tkm |
For articulated vehicles which are registered as a single unit, the tax is calculated on the total weight of the unit. If the saddle tractor and the semi-trailer are registered separately, the unladen weight of the saddle tractor and the total weight of the semi-trailer shall be decisive. FRANZOSINI MOBILE APP allows you to automatically calculate the amount due to the Federal Customs Administration, according to the tables mentioned above. It also allows the immediate display of the map of the route to be traveled.
The application is multilingual: simply customize the application from the settings menu. FRANZOSINI MOBILE APP also offers a complete service of insights on the incoterms in force, useful for those who have specific issues to deepen in terms of international transport.
