Environment, eco-driving, noise, LSVA (basics)
Drivers must avoid unnecessary noise and smoke, switch off the engine even during short stops and observe exhaust maintenance; an anticipatory, low-rev driving style saves fuel. Heavy vehicles over 3.5 t are subject to the heavy vehicle charge (LSVA), which is based on the maximum permissible gross vehicle weight, the kilometres driven and the emission category.
