Via T / Automated toll collection

The AP-41 toll motorway has the most advanced payment systems, making it possible to cover the entire journey between Madrid and Toledo without stoppinf: the Via T automated toll collection system.

Automated toll collection is a system that makes it possible to pay on the motorway without needing to stop the vehicle or use money or cards, avoiding stops at the booths. Heavy vehicles can also use it, although they must go through the manual lanes. The Via-T lanes are only valid for light vehicles.

To use this payment system, the vehicle must be provided with a device called a TAG or OBE (on-board equipment) which is placed on the windscreen next to the rear view mirror to assure correct operation.

In short, the system is interoperable and any vehicle with a Via-T TAG can use it on our motorway as well as on any other that indicates the presence of the system.
