From 2013 an environmental levy will be payable on French 'routes nationales' and dual carriageways by trucks over 3.5 tonnes.

Fuel card provider DKV has recently signed an agreement with the French operator Ecomouv', paving the way for automatic collection and billing via an on-board unit.

DKV will be offering customers a new on-board unit for the collection and billing of all road tolls in France. The new DKV Box will be compatible with the French toll scheme TIS PL and will facilitate automatic collection of amounts due to use roads in France on which tolls and other levies are payable.

With the new DKV Box, DKV customers will benefit not just from easy payment facilities but also attractive discounts of up to 13% on TIS PL and up to 10% on the Eco Taxe levy under the Post-Pay scheme.  DKV also offers customers a complete package: a comprehensive toll service from just one service provider – from ordering terminals to billing and VAT refunds.

DKV Box customers will benefit from innovative applications and value-added services such as DKV eReporting. The eReporting service offers customised analysis of transactions and efficient fleet management to save on costs. The DKV Box is quick and easy to fit and it’s anticipated that customers will be able to order the new DKV Box from October 2012.
