The 2965 Czech Ministry of Transport will introduce tolls for trucks on all Class One and some Class Two and Three roads from mid-2012.

Deputy Transport Minister Martin Sykora has said that if these roads prove to be loss-making, the state would prefer to ban the trucks from them.
It has not yet been decided what technology will be used to collect the tolls but it is apparent that the ministry would prefer the satellite system without toll gates. The most likely bidders are259 Kapsch of Austria and 2967 SkyToll of Slovakia.
