Short description
On request from Stortinget [the Norwegian Parliament], Samferdselsdepartementet [the Ministry of Transport] will review satellite based road pricing for heavy transport. The review must also contain an evaluation of how such a system will effect zero emission vehicles and transition to biofuels. The objective of the assignment is to investigate whether a system with road pricing will provide socio-economic gains compared with the current collection system. One system should be recommended. The recommended system must result in users as much as possible facing costs that reflect the actual socio-economic costs of their transport. These costs vary, for example, depending on the type of vehicle, geography and dates one drives. The recommended system should be practically feasible. Thorough description of the delivery following Appendix 1 to the contract.
