What is the reason for the 2020 highway price increase? The latest 2020 highway toll standards

When ETC was fully implemented on highways, many netizens thought that highway tolls would decrease. What they never expected was that from January 1, 2020, highway tolls increased. What happened? At present, many netizens are saying that highway tolls have increased after applying for ETC. Next, let's take a look at the latest 2020 highway toll standards.

What is the 2020 highway price increase?

After the cancellation of provincial toll stations on expressways and the full implementation of ETC, the entire Internet is complaining about the price increase on expressways. A logistics truck driver took the expressway from Zigong, Sichuan, and got off the expressway from Jizhou West, Hengshui, Hebei. The toll was 7,002 yuan, and after negotiation, the driver actually paid 4,201 yuan. There are many similar cases of expressway price increases, but this seems to be the first time I have seen a successful bargaining... If the expressway price increases, the logistics and freight costs will also increase. Combined with the increase in pork prices, the consumption of the Spring Festival in 2020 may change! What do you think?

1. The price of my car has increased. It used to be 15 yuan, but now it is 17 yuan. The highway fee for the same section of road is higher than the gas fee. 5. Take a car.

2. Blue-plate trucks have not seen a price increase, but yellow-plate trucks will face a more difficult road ahead

3. Anyway, there is no way to survive. Today, I drove my small six-wheeled empty car on the highway for more than 10 kilometers, and the fare was 34 yuan after getting off the highway. It was only 12 yuan before.

4. Yesterday I drove a five-seater private car from Sinan to Guiyang. The original toll was 180 yuan, but yesterday the toll was 205 yuan. The two toll stations are about 250 kilometers apart, and the toll per kilometer exceeded 0.8 yuan. I don’t know what’s going on. Didn’t they say that the highway toll will be reduced?

5. The price has increased significantly after the system upgrade. It is estimated that the ETC discount will be raised back even more.

6. It has really increased. My usual fare is 4.45 yuan, but today it was 7.17 yuan. Why has it increased so much? Should I not take the highway anymore?

The latest 2020 highway toll standards

For example, a 6-axle truck travels 100 kilometers on a six-lane highway. When fully loaded, the total weight of the vehicle and cargo is 49 tons, and the weight-based charge should be 260 yuan; when unloaded, the total weight of the vehicle and cargo is 19 tons, and the weight-based charge should be 238 yuan. After the change to charging by vehicle type, the charge is 245 yuan regardless of whether it is fully loaded or unloaded. In the case of a round-trip trip of "full load going and empty load returning", the charge based on vehicle type (490 yuan) is 8 yuan less than the weight-based charge (498 yuan).

The adjustment is mainly in the passenger car sector. Specifically, for 8- and 9-seater small passenger cars with a length of less than 6 meters, the current policy is to collect vehicle tolls according to the classification standards of Class 2 passenger cars. From January 1, 2020, the tolls will be uniformly charged according to the standards of Class 1 passenger cars. The toll collection method for trucks has also been adjusted. Currently, the toll collection method for heavy trucks is: collect cards at the highway entrance, weigh and charge at the exit, and if overloaded, the overload fee will be charged according to the relevant regulations. After January 1 next year, vehicle scales will also be installed at the entrance of the highway. Trucks will be subject to overload control at the entrance, and charges will be made according to the vehicle type at the exit. Trucks that exceed the limit will not be allowed to enter the highway.
