  "text": "The calculation of tolls shall be based on actual or forecast HGV shares of vehicle kilometres adjusted, if desired, by equivalence factors, to make due allowance for the increased costs of constructing and repairing infrastructure for use by goods vehicles.\nThe following table gives a set of indicative equivalence factors. Where a Member State uses equivalence factors with ratios differing from those in the table, they shall be based on objectively justifiable criteria and shall be made public.\nSee Annex IV for the determination of the vehicle class.\nThe vehicle classes correspond to axle weights of 5,5, 6,5, 7,5 and 8,5 tonnes respectively.\nVehicle class\nEquivalence factors\nStructural repair\nInvestments\nAnnual maintenance\nBetween 3,5 t and 7,5 t, Class 0\n1\n1\n1\n> 7,5 t, Class I\n1,96\n1\n1\n> 7,5 t, Class II\n3,47\n1\n1\n> 7,5 t, Class III\n5,72\n1\n1\nTolling regimes which are based on forecast traffic levels shall provide for a correction mechanism whereby tolls are adjusted periodically to correct any under or over-recovery of costs due to forecasting errors.",
