As part of a sustainable approach aimed at protecting the environment, the Bernese Executive Council wants to encourage motorists to choose cars that comply with environmental standards. In this context, the Council intends to revise the calculation of the vehicle tax by taking CO2 emissions into account.
This new regulation will apply to vehicles weighing less than 3.5 tonnes. On the other hand, heavy goods vehicles, semi-trailer tractors and agricultural motor vehicles will continue to be taxed according to the current rules. Something to delight those who champion our planet’s ecological challenges.
