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.

    By his very success in inventing labor-saving devices, modern man has manufactured an abyss of boredom that only the privileged classes in earlier civilizations have ever fathomed.
