(ANSA) - LUBIANA - The European Investment Bank (EIB) approved a 51 million euro loan to Slovenian Motorway Company (Dars) for the installation of electronic tolls for heavy vehicles. The infrastructure project, which is worth 105mn euros over the 610 km of the motorway network, is the first of its kind in Slovenia. The country will use the guarantees provided by the European Fund for Strategic Investments (Efsa). In accordance with the new European sustainable mobility solutions, the new system will help reduce the waiting time for trucks, fuel consumption, emissions of air pollutants and even the acoustic impact, in addition to introducing different toll levels depending on the vehicle's category and emission class.
