Highway tolling reform and its influence on truck development

In China, there are a lot of tolling highways and the expense of truck transportation amounts to a great percentage of transportation cost. However, the present tolling system has nothing to do with the total weight of truck, which results in the emergence of huge amounts of over-loaded truck transportation. So, it is necessary to collect tolling fee according to the total weight of truck, with less fee from lighter truck or vacant truck, more fee from heaver truck and even more fee from over-loaded truck so as to make up the necessary expense for the over-use of highways. This reform can greatly stop over-loaded truck transportation and improve the truck structure in China so as to make it catch up with that in the world. But in China, tailer truck is not allowed to run on expressways according to Chinese highway transportation safety law, the number of truck axes can not be more than 6, which is quite different from that (as many as 9 axes) of advanced countries.
