The gross vehicle weight rating of your truck amounts to 5.5 t; the gross vehicle weight rating of your trailer is 2.0 t. Is this combination vehicle liable to the toll if used for road haulage on a motorway?

The combination vehicle, consisting of a truck with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 5.5 tonnes and a trailer with a GVWR of 2.0 tonnes, is liable to tolls when used for road haulage on a motorway in Germany. According to German toll regulations, any vehicle combination with a total weight exceeding 7.5 tonnes is subject to tolls. In this case, the total weight is 7.5 tonnes (5.5 t + 2.0 t), which meets the threshold, making the combination toll-liable. This regulation is part of the efforts to maintain and improve the road infrastructure in Germany. Always check specific regulations before travel, as exceptions and specific rules can apply based on the type of vehicle and usage.
