The electronic toll system in the Czech Republic will introduce a new component of toll charges from 1 March 2024, which will take into account the CO2 emissions of vehicles subject to the charge. The change is introduced in connection with the implementation of Directive (EU) 2022/362 of the European Parliament and of the Council, which aims to promote further reductions in CO2 emissions.
Emission limits for trucks, rail transport and road safety. These are the main topics for the EU this year. The European transport policy in 2024 will be fundamentally affected by the European Parliament elections in June and the subsequent appointment of the new European Commission. The EU institutions will therefore focus primarily on reaching agreement on the proposals that are already under discussion.
The Road and Motorway Directorate has started construction of the continuation of the D3 motorway from Nažidla to the state border with Austria. The 3.5km section will replace the current I/3 road and will largely follow its footprint.
The year 2024 will bring many changes for all transport users, often making life much easier or an area much clearer. We provide an overview of what is new in the field of laws and regulations, construction, digitalisation, reduction of administrative burden, etc. All in one place.
The only official online shop with Czech vignettes, edalnice.cz, has launched a new page that informs about the changes planned for 2024. You can find it on the main page under the Planned Changes 2024 button.
The proposal for the new EURO 7 emission standard will ultimately be significantly more acceptable and realistic than originally proposed. This is confirmed by the final compromise agreement reached on 18 December 2023 between the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council. During more than a year of negotiations, the Czech Republic managed to defend all its key demands. The exhaust emission limits for cars and vans will remain at the current EURO 6 standard, including the testing conditions for passenger vehicles. Furthermore, the deadlines for the entry into force of the new rules have been postponed and the vehicle emissions monitoring system has also undergone major changes.
