 Intelligent Transport Systems UK (ITS UK) is heading to the Conservative Party conference on October 6, 2025, to hold fringe events. Kapsch TrafficCom is supporting the initiative with its expertise in transportation solutions for sustainable mobility.

The UK has set ambitious goals to reach net zero by 2050 and is investing heavily in electric vehicles (EVs) because reducing road traffic emissions is key to reaching net zero. A pay-per-mile system considers the distance traveled by motorists, as well as the type and emissions status of their vehicles. It applies charges accordingly. This ensures that heavier road users pay their fair share while less frequent users pay less.

Tim Wray, the UK and Ireland sales director at Kapsch TrafficCom, will discuss how the pay-per-mile system is the perfect tool for ensuring fuel tax equity for drivers.

Our experts will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Pay-per-mile is perfect tool to ensure fuel tax equity for drivers. “As EVs do not pay fuel tax or road tax, they are basically exempt from contributing to the upkeep of public roads, and also to general tax revenue. A well-calibrated pay-per-mile system could be a simple way of spreading these costs equitably and not just have other drivers cover the share of those who can afford an electric vehicle,” explains Tim Wray, the UK and Ireland sales director at Kapsch TrafficCom.

As the number of electric vehicles on the world’s roads continues to increase exponentially, governments around the world are looking for ways to replace falling revenues from fuel taxes. Road user charging – which considers the type of vehicle and distance driven – seems a good alternative, but public acceptance of such schemes depends on how they are delivered and how much tangible value they can deliver to road users.
