ACTIONS CORNER

The arbitration proceeding about the late introduction of the truck toll system in Germany shows that Daimler and the “Deutsche Telekom AG” do not get around the payments of compensations to the federal government. The government demands roughly seven million Euros from the Toll-Collect-Operator. The three heads of the arbitration court made it very clear to the group representatives that they will not be able to hold their position. So far, both groups insist in their innocence. According to them, they cannot be blamed hence they reject the demands from the government. Siemens and Allianz are both interested in participating in Toll Collect after the process is resolved.
