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:

    How strange a vehicle it is, coming down unchanged from times of old romance, and so characteristically black, the way no other thing is black except a coffin—a vehicle evoking lawless adventures in the plashing stillness of night, and still more strongly evoking death itself, the bier, the dark obsequies, the last silent journey!
    Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    Is a man too strong and fierce for society, and by temper and position a bad citizen,—a morose ruffian, with a dash of the pirate in him;Mnature sends him a troop of pretty sons and daughters, who are getting along in the dame’s classes at the village school, and love and fear for them smooths his grim scowl to courtesy. Thus she contrives to intenerate the granite and the feldspar, takes the boar out and puts the lamb in, and keeps her balance true.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
