roads that are part of the TEN-T road network in Sweden or who is
highways.

goods vehicles for the use of certain infrastructures, last

In addition, the terms used in this law the same

The charging system
4 § infrastructure charges should be imposed and enforced on a
ways that affect traffic flow as little as possible and that
allow normal traffic safety standard is maintained.
A charging system should not lead to unjustified disadvantage for
users who do not regularly use the road network. If
the charging system requires the use of automotive equipment
referred to in the Act (2013:1164) on electronic road toll systems,
It takes infrastructure fee will ensure that all
users can have access to such equipment.
Vehicle equipment shall comply with the technical requirements of the said
legislation and regulations that have been issued in connection with the
the law.
Calculation of infrastructure charges
Cost basis
Public roads
5 § Infrastructure fees referred to in article 1, first subparagraph 1
to be determined so that the total fee revenue not
exceed the costs for the construction and development of the
road section that charges are associated, as well as for the construction,
maintenance, operation and development of the related charging system.
Only expenses financed by loans to be
refunded with infrastructure charges and costs to be
financed directly with revenue from infrastructure charging
to be included in the cost basis.
Infrastructure charges should be based on a time period
corresponds to the infrastructure planned lifespan or another
period of not less than 20 years.
The second paragraph does not apply to infrastructure charges
for travel on the bridge on European route 6 across the Svinesund, as long as it
original fee system on the bridge are used and cannot be changed
in substantial quantities.
section 6 of the costs referred to in paragraph 5 of the first paragraph shall be distributed
between different categories of cars based on their expected
shares of the costs. The cost of a category of cars
may similarly be allocated among different types of cars
within the category.
The share of the costs pursuant to paragraph 5, first subparagraph, first
the sentence that can be attributed to the respective category or type
of cars should correspond to their expected share of the traffic on the
road section. If higher costs to construct and
maintain the infrastructure can be attributed to a specific category
of the cars, the share of the costs to be borne by the
the category is adjusted accordingly. The same applies if the
higher costs can be attributed to a particular type of car within a
category. If the cost of a particular category of cars, or
a certain type of car within a category, in whole or in part
financed from resources other than loans that must be repaid with
infrastructure charges or directly with revenue from
infrastructure charges, the costs shall be borne by the
the category or type of car is adjusted accordingly.
The estimated share of costs should be allocated to
different categories and types of cars will be checked
regularly and adjusted as necessary. Law (2014:1561).
Private roads
7 § Infrastructure fees referred to in article 1, first paragraph 2
to be determined so that the total fee revenue not
exceed the share of the costs that can be attributed to
heavy goods vehicles and relating to the construction, maintenance, operation
and development of the road section on which the fees relate to and
related charging system. In the cost basis may also
include a reasonable return on capital and a reasonable
profit margin.
Infrastructure charges should be based on a time period
corresponds to the infrastructure planned lifespan or another
period of not less than 20 years.
8 § the proportion of costs under section 7 of the first paragraph that
must be allocated to the heavy goods vehicles should correspond to their
estimated share of the traffic on the road section. The heavy
goods vehicles ' share of costs may similarly
be distributed among the various types of heavy goods vehicles. If
the cost of constructing and maintaining the infrastructure
will be higher due to the heavy traffic, the percentage of
costs to be borne by heavy goods vehicles shall be adjusted in
correspondingly. The same applies if the higher costs may
be attributed to a particular type of heavy goods vehicles.
The heavy goods vehicle's estimated share of the costs to be
be checked regularly and adjusted as necessary.
§ 9 the provisions of the second subparagraph of paragraph 7 and section 8 does not apply
infrastructure charges charged for travelling on the Öresund bridge, so
long as the original charging scheme on the bridge are used and
not be changed.
Differentiation of infrastructure charges
10 § infrastructure charging for heavy goods vehicles on the roads
included in the TEN-T road network in Sweden or who are highways should
may be varied according to EURO emission class of the vehicles.
No charge may be more than twice as high as the fee
charged for equivalent vehicles meeting the
stringent emission requirement.
The demand for diversification referred to in the first subparagraph shall not apply to
If
1. it would seriously harm the charging system
uniformity,
2. it is not technically feasible, or
3. If it would lead to the most polluting vehicles
being led away from the affected road section with negative
implications for road safety and public health as a result.
section 11 If a vehicle EURO emission class not found
available when a decision on the infrastructure charge shall be taken,
the infrastructure fee with a maximum of the amount
apply for equivalent vehicles with emission class EURO 0.
12 § Infrastructure fees referred to in article 1, first paragraph 2
may be differentiated depending on the time of day, type of day
or years, to reduce congestion, minimize wear and tear on
infrastructure or to optimize the use of or
promoting traffic safety on the road section, if
1. differentiation is clear, published and
available to all users on equal terms;
2. no fee is more than 175% higher than the
average fee for the corresponding vehicles,
3. higher fees to reduce crowding during a maximum of
five hours per day, and
4. differentiation to reduce congestion means higher
fee levels during periods when many vehicle passages owns
rooms and lower rates during other times.
A differentiation within the meaning of the first subparagraph shall not be designed so
the total fee revenue increases. If a revenue increase
Although this would occur should the differentiation therefore serves structure
be changed within two years after the end of the calendar year when
the revenue increase occurred.
13 § Infrastructure fees related to a priority project
of European interest may be differentiated otherwise than
as indicated in section 10 and section 12, first paragraph, to secure
the profitability of the project, if such a section is directly
competitive in relation to other means of travel by
a vehicle than on the road. Such differentiation
1. should lead to a fee structure that is linear,
proportional, published and available to all
users on equal terms and
2. shall not cause the costs passed on to users
not covered by the differentiation in the form of increased
fees.
If the infrastructure fees referred to in the first subparagraph
differentiated in purpose of reducing congestion, minimising wear
on the infrastructure or to optimize the use of
or promote traffic safety on the road section,
should the differentiation be made depending on the time of day, type
of the day or season.
The provisions of section 12 of the second subparagraph shall apply to the
differentiation according to the first and second subparagraphs.
