00:00
French truck drivers are blocking a main motorway in Alsace in protest against the potential
00:06
introduction of a heavy goods vehicles tax from 2027.
00:11
The new tax, which comes at a cost of 15 cents per kilometre, aims to reduce transit traffic
00:17
on the A35 motorway, which sees up to 10,000 trucks pass along it each day.
00:24
Many of these lorries use the Alsace motorway to avoid paying the high eco-taxes already
00:29
in place on German motorways.
00:33
Those working in the transit industry say the addition of this new tax would threaten
00:38
the survival of some businesses.
00:40
There is a very low margin. So as soon as there is a tax, as soon as there is a tax
00:47
that arrives or is supposed to arrive, it impacts us directly because we have absolutely
00:53
no margin of manoeuvre.
00:54
Local councillors are set to vote on the proposal on the 21st of October.
