Singapore Economic Review Conference 2009 Singapore, August 7th, 2009 Germany's Autobahn Toll for Heavy Goods Vehicles After Four Years: Experiences and Perspectives Andreas Knorr / André W. Heinemann / Alexander Eisenkopf

1 Outline 1.Introduction 2.The German tolling system 3.How to increase the efficiency of the LKW-Maut? 4.Implications 5.Conclusions

2 1. Introduction  January 1st, 2005: Germany introduced a road charging system for all heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) using the country‘s Autobahn system  Historical moment in Germany´s transport policy  First ever deviation from the traditional tax-based approach of financing road infrastructures  Partial adoption of user-pays principle

3 1. Introduction  Germany is at the very heart of the European Union and borders on nine countries  Many key East-West and North-South transit routes run across Germany  The Autobahn network in Germany stretches over 12,531 kilometres; handles 1/3 of all traffic (total mileage)  The federal government is the owner of all federal roads

4 2. The German tolling system – precursors  1990: First attempt to introduce a user charge for trucks thwarted by EU legislation  1994: German government passed the ”Fernstraßenbaufinanzierungsgesetz“  PPP permitted  2002: Motorway Toll Act

5 2. The German tolling system – technical details  The German tolling system offers three payment options:  GPS and On Board Units (OBU)  Manual payment terminals  Internet

9 3. How to increase the efficiency of the LKW-Maut?  What kind of good is the Autobahn infrastructure?  Public good? Private good? Mixed good?  Characteristics are crucial for optimum fee structure  Key factor: “degree of rivalry“

10 Economic characteristics of goods Exclusion possibleimpossible Rivalry in consumption yes Pure private goods Common-pool goods no Club goods/ Toll goods Pure public goods

11 Production costs  Production costs can be written as  Congestion parameter  For = 0  pure public good  For = 1  pure private good

12 Degree of rivalry  The elasticity of provision costs is defined as  Multiplication of and obtains   

13 Goods and their respective degree of rivalry  N´N´´N  = 0  = 1 0 <  < 1 Pure public good Club (collective) good Pure private good

14 Degree of rivalry – implications  The equilibrium condition is  Typically in specific time periods infrastructure goods are characterized by     From follows(Grossekettler, 1991)  From follows and

15 MCs and welfare loss of tolling in ”jam free“ periods P X PBPB PAPA MC XBXB XAXA MWP Source:Jakubowski/Lorenz (2008, 528)

16 Degree of rivalry – implications  It is obvious that:  From follows The costs must be covered by basic fees  From follows and The costs should be covered by a basic fee (because ) and a variable congestion-related price (because )

17 4. Implications for the German LKW-Maut  Because of  a basic fee must be charged  Because of  a variable congestion-related component must be charged  Users should contribute to the set-up costs through a usage- independent (basic fee). Currently, the German vehicle tax may be interpreted as a basic fee in this sense  For maximum efficiency the toll for a road with variable demand should include a (variable) congestion-related component

18 5. Conclusions  After four years the German Lkw-Maut may overall be considered a success story  The toll has become widely accepted among road haulage companies for creating a more level playing field between German an foreign-based trucking companies  A convincing economic case can be made to include a congestion-related component in the toll  To extend the scope of the toll to include passenger cars as well would create the most comprehensive, universal and technologically advanced electronic road pricing system worldwide.
