France is proposing an eco-tax for SUVs. Each kilo above the limit for 10 euros

The French Minister of the Environment is proposing a new tax for heavy vehicles, which should motivate carmakers to reduce CO2.

According to the French state news agency France 24, the local Minister of the Environment Barbara Pompili presented a new tax scheme, which should mainly affect SUVs. For vehicles weighing more than 1,800 kilograms, it requires taxation of EUR 10 for each additional kilogram.

The weight taxation that we are proposing sends a clear and necessary message to take account of the environmental impact of heavy vehicles. The heavier the vehicle, the more material and energy it consumes, with more pollution,“Said Minister Pompili on Twitter.
