A 40-tonne articulated truck in Austria costs around €94 per 100 km on diesel including the GO-Maut toll, and around €39 electric when charged at the depot. Whether the switch pays off for your fleet depends on duty profile, depot electricity, motorway share, residual value and ENIN funding – not the range quoted at the trade show. The truckoo Electric Hub brings together the points that matter for the decision: market prices, profile check, a TCO calculator built on transparent step-by-step maths with GO-Maut and ENIN, routes, funding, vehicles, the ASFINAG charging roll-out and the IAA 2026 wrap-up. As of September 2026, Austria, all figures net of VAT.
Energy cost per 100 km for a 40-tonne articulated truck, calculated with Austrian market prices: 28 litres of diesel × net price (€2.268/l gross, ÖAMTC) plus GO-Maut at 48.41 ct/km versus 115 kWh × the electricity mix from depot and public charging plus the reduced GO-Maut of 11.79 ct/km.
Every page answers one decision question – with figures, the calculation behind them and sources.
Thirteen questions on routes, depot, shift pattern and workshop – the result is a ranking of drivetrains for your operation.

3 · RouteArrival time electric versus diesel, charging stops, state of charge and costs – plus the Austrian corridors that already work today.

FAQTwelve straight answers for Austrian fleets – from cost per km, GO-Maut and ENIN to when to sell the diesel.
Daily distance, return to depot, shift pattern, grid connection, trailer. The profile check ranks BEV, e-trailer, hydrogen and diesel and derives the inputs for the calculator.
Energy, GO-Maut, maintenance, insurance, vehicle tax, ENIN funding, depreciation – per year and per kilometre. Break-even with residual value; every figure can be replaced with your own quote.
Run your core routes against the charging parks – today Roggendorf, Hausruck and the parks near the border in Bavaria, from 2027 the ASFINAG rest areas – and plan for overnight charging and depots. And set the date for selling the diesel – before the second generation of e-trucks ramps up.
MAN eTGX 660 km, Volvo FH Aero Electric up to 700 km, eActros 600 500 km – all in series production or available to order. Megawatt charging was demonstrated, but Austria does not yet have a single public MCS point. ASFINAG is equipping all 60 rest areas by 2030, 21 of them with MCS, going into operation by 2027 at the latest.
92.1% of EU new registrations in the first half of 2026. New diesel drivetrains at Daimler and MAN turn the current generation into the previous one – and that affects residual value from the moment of announcement.
Farizon, Sany and Sinotruk with dealer networks, parts warehouses and assembly in Europe – SuperPanther and Sinotruk at Steyr Automotive in Upper Austria – priced 20–30% below EU manufacturers (estimate). No residual-value history – buy only with a buy-back or residual-value guarantee.

Antwort
[{"q": "How much does an electric truck cost per kilometre in Austria?", "a": "In the standard profile (120,000 km/year, 5 years, depot charging, ENIN €100k) the TCO of a 40-tonne electric truck is around €0.80/km, versus €1.27/km for diesel – including purchase, energy, GO-Maut, maintenance, insurance, vehicle tax and residual value. Energy plus toll cost about €39/100 km electric and around €94/100 km for diesel."}, {"q": "Is an electric truck worth it in Austria in 2026?", "a": "For plannable routes up to 450 km with your own depot charger: yes – with ENIN from the first year, without ENIN after just over a year. The biggest lever is the GO-Maut: 48.41 ct/km for diesel versus 11.79 ct/km for the e-truck until the end of 2030."}, {"q": "Do electric trucks pay tolls in Austria?", "a": "At a reduced rate: 11.79 instead of 48.41 ct/km (4+ axles, Euro VI) until 31 December 2030 – a 75% discount on the infrastructure charge, no CO₂ surcharge. On 100,000 motorway kilometres that saves around €37,000 a year."}, {"q": "What funding is available for electric trucks in Austria in 2026?", "a": "ENIN (FFG): up to 60% of the extra cost compared with diesel and 40% of the charging infrastructure; apply before ordering. On top of that, a 22% investment allowance (Investitionsfreibetrag, for purchases until 31 December 2026) and exemption from vehicle tax."}, {"q": "When should I sell my diesel truck?", "a": "As long as diesel accounts for around 96% of new registrations in Austria and the charging network is still being built, residual values of good Euro VI vehicles are holding up. If you want to go electric in 2027/28, you are better off selling the diesel before the second generation of e-trucks ramps up – a vetted dealer network like truckoo lets you check the market price across Europe."}]
Anyone switching to electric has one diesel too many in the yard. Vetted dealers from 35+ countries make binding offers – valuation within 24 hours, free of charge.
