Rapp Trans – Carte Blanche Conseil - Algoé awarded contract to assist the introduction of the French National HGV tax


The national heavy goods vehicle distance-based tax project, announced at the environment round table in October, was recently launched by the French Ministry of Ecology and Sustainable Development.

The project involves the collection of a tax without stopping the liable vehicles, deployment of innovative technologies, support for the European framework for interoperability, with its strong social impact, and public procurement.

As a result of a public tender, the General Roads Directorate has awarded a consultancy team led by Rapp Trans, with Carte Blanche Conseil and Algoé Consultants as partners, to assist in the planning and procurement of this strategic project, to be implemented in close collaboration with the French Customs in a very short time frame.
