The ultimate goal of the policy is to internalize all external cost of heavy duty transport transiting the Swiss alps and to incentivize the shift to train cargo. The heavy-duty (> 3.5 tonnes) vehicle fee (HVF) was introduced in 2001. Its prime goal is to internalise external road transport costs. The HVF is calculated on distance, weight and emissions standards, replacing a previous flat fee. Its initial rate was CHF 0.017/tonne/km, rising to CHF 0.025/tonne/km…

        Signalling of Charging Stations with access from the RCE (Phase 1)

        In the context of adaptation to climate change, decarbonisation and the promotion of sustainable mobility, and with the aim of improving the visibility and accessibility of charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, the DGC has decided to proceed with the ex officio signalling of certain  Charging Stations with access from the RCE. In the first phase (Phase 1), charging stations accessible from roads of the Trans-European Basic Network and from the A-6 motorway (a road that, despite belonging to the Global Network, is considered very relevant) will be signposted.

Starting from 2025, fast charging stations (≥150 kW) must be available every 60 km along the core TEN-T road network for passenger cars, with higher capacity requirements by 2030. For heavy-duty vehicles, charging hubs with a minimum total power output must be deployed every 120 km from 2025 and increase significantly by 2030. The regulation also sets targets for hydrogen refueling stations and mandates clear rules on payment methods, price transparency…

This ban targets light-duty combustion engine vehicles, including passenger and commercial cars, light trucks, and most SUVs and pickup trucks. However, mopeds, motorcycles, and off-road vehicles such as snowmobiles and ATVs are exempt.Starting January 1, 2034, only zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) of model year 2035 or later can be marketed. From December 31, 2035, the sale and lease of all new motor vehicles that are not ZEVs, including hybrids and plug-in hybrids, will be prohibited. Additionally, the sale of combustion engines will be banned.

The system has gone through several reforms and with the revised EU ETS Directive entered into force, its fourth phase started in January 2021. As part of the 2023 revisions of the ETS Directive, a new emissions trading system named ETS2 was created, separate from the existing EU ETS. This new system will cover and address the CO2 emissions from fuel combustion in buildings, road transport and additional sectors (mainly small industry not covered by the existing EU ETS). The ETS2 will enter into force in 2028.
