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:

    In all Works of This, and of the Dramatic Kind, STORY, or AMUSEMENT, should be considered as little more than the Vehicle to the more necessary INSTRUCTION.
    Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)

    There are four classes of idols which beset men’s minds. To these for distinction’s sake I have assigned names—calling the first class Idols of the Tribe; the second, Idols of the Cave; the third, Idols of the Market-Place; the fourth, Idols of the Theatre.
    Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
