MAUT data for April 2016 shows a calming in Euro VI adoption

Germany’s BAG publishes MAUT data to include all vehicles above 7.5 tonnes GVW (7,500 kg, 16,535 lbs) on a monthly basis. Truck toll data provides a number of valuable data points. On the basis that transportation is a derived demand, and on the assumption that truck operators seek to maximise vehicle utilisation by minimising empty running, so toll data in terms of absolute kilometres driven provides a useful proxy in terms of overall economic health.
