The distance-related heavy vehicle fee (DRHVF) is a variable federal tax that depends on the total weight, emission level and number of kilometres travelled by a vehicle. The DRHVF applies to motor vehicles and trailers that have a gross vehicle weight of more than 3.5 tons, are used for the transport of goods, are registered at home and abroad and travel on the public road network in Switzerland.

How is the distance-related heavy vehicle fee calculated?
The distance-related heavy vehicle fee is calculated at the same rate for domestic and foreign vehicles. It depends on the following factors:
- The number of kilometres travelled within Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein
- The permissible total weight of the vehicle
- The vehicle’s emissions (pursuant to EU emissions classifications)
Example DRHVF calculation:
Relevant weight: 50 t
Emission-dependent DRHVF tariff: 2.79 centimes / tkm
Kilometres travelled: 250 km
Total DRHVF costs: 34,875 centimes = 348.75 CHF
DRHVF calculation: 50 x 2.79 x 250 = 34878 centimes = 348.75 CHF
