Question 17210 — road transport

Summary

Mr. Sébastien Saint-Pasteur draws the attention of the Minister of Transport to heavy goods vehicle traffic on the Bordeaux ring road and the Bordeaux-Spain motorway. Between 85,000 and 140,000 vehicles circulate there daily, including 6,000 to 18,000 heavy goods vehicles, with a significant proportion of foreign trucks in pure international transit generating no local economic activity. These repeated passages lead to accelerated wear and tear on the infrastructure financed by the French taxpayer as well as significant pollution. Several European Union member states have introduced mileage charges on heavy goods vehicles to ensure a fair contribution from foreign carriers to the maintenance of road networks. Furthermore, the modal shift towards rail freight remains insufficiently developed on this strategic axis. He therefore asks him what measures the The Government intends to take steps to ensure that foreign carriers contribute equitably to the maintenance of the infrastructure they use, to accelerate the transfer of international road freight to rail on the South Atlantic axis and to sustainably reduce the environmental and road pressure linked to the transit of heavy goods vehicles in New Aquitaine.
