Question:
We use a Mecedes –Benz Sprinter, single deck. Gross Vehicle mass 3550kg
Passengers: 13.
Total capacity including driver: 14.
Wheel Size: 16inch
Please advice on what Class this vehicle is as we always struggle at the toll gates with this.
Answer:
From the information that you provided:
Mercedes –Benz Sprinter, single deck.
Gross Vehicle mass 3550kg
Passengers: 13.
Total capacity including driver: 14.
Wheel Size: 16inch
The toll classification will be that of a Class 1 vehicle. This is because it is designed to carry less than 16 persons, does not have double rear wheels, or a wheel size of larger than 16 inches.
I have attached the latest Government Gazette which not only indicates the various Toll Plaza tariffs but also shows the prescripts for the vehicle classifications.
Hope this assists.
