ROAD USER CHARGES

RUC purchase for January 2021, all RUC types

While the total distance purchased has dropped compared to 2019, the value of the RUC purchases has increased, no doubt due to the price increase mid-year.

RUC distance purchased for RUC type 1 vehicles

RUC type 1 vehicles are powered vehicles with two axles (except type 2 or type 299 vehicles. Type 299 are mobile cranes). Cars, vans and light trucks that use fuel not taxed at source (i.e. diesel fuel) are generally in this RUC type.

The red dots represent the cost of RUC purchased for that RUC type for the year to date January 2021 only, thus for RUC type 6 vehicles, powered vehicles with three axles, (except type 308, 309, 311, 399 or 413 vehicles), the higher value results from the high cost of RUC for these type vehicles above 12 tonne.
