several social-democrat and liberal mayors have written to the government to reconsider the “road tax for trucks”. The road tax will be 1.3 DKK per kilometer (or 0.2 DKK per kilometer if they use electric trucks) from 2025. The transport and tax ministers are not planning to change their mind.
- The mayors are mainly from North Denmark and Western Jutland. They are concerned that the new tax will cost jobs in those two parts of Denmark as goods will become more expensive to produce and transport.
