Via Verde - Vehicle Classes

Vehicle Classes

Via Verde/toll works with classes for the various vehicles (see Brisa classes for details).

• Class 1: vehicles with a height (measured vertically at the first axis) that are below 1,10m, with or without trailer.

  • Motorcycles are considered class 1 in case of manual toll collection or class 5 when using Via Verde.

• Class 2: vehicles with two axes and a height (measured vertically at the first axis) equal or above 1,10 m.

• Class 3: vehicles with three axes and a height (measured vertically at the first axis) equal or above 1,10 m.

• Class 4: vehicles with more than three axes and a height (measured vertically at the first axis) equal or above 1,10 m.


Some Class 2 cars are eligible for a class reduction. This is applicable for Class 2 cars that comply to certain rules (see IMTT for details). In general a car has to comply to the next rules: 1100≤h<1300mm (measured vertically at the first axis), 2300

In case your car is NOT on this list, but complies with these rules, a special inspection (inspecções extraordinárias) by Controlauto is needed. See the website for locations and prices. With an inspection report: go to a Brisa service point and have your Via Verde box changed to Class 1.

Famous quotes containing the words vehicle and/or classes:

    “You utilitarians, you too love everything useful only as a vehicle of your inclinations—you too really find the noise of its wheels intolerable?”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “The difference between people isn’t in their class, but in themselves. Only from the middle classes one gets ideas, and from the common people—life itself, warmth. You feel their hates and loves.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
