About vehicle classes

Vehicle class is a classification for vehicles that's determined by certain attributes, such as: 

  • Vehicle size
  • Seating capacity
  • Construction design
  • Weight/mass

Whether the vehicle is used for personal or commercial use does not influence the vehicle class.

Vehicle class and the distance you travel determine the tolls you pay.

Vehicle classes

Motorcycle

  • A two wheeled motor vehicle, including motor vehicles with a trailer or side car

Heavy commercial vehicle (HCV)


  • Any two axle rigid vehicle with a cab chassis construction, with a gross vehicle mass that is greater than 4.5 tonnes
  • Any rigid vehicle with three or more axles and a cab chassis construction that exceeds 1.5 tonnes
  • An articulated truck
  • A bus seating more than 12 people

Light commercial vehicle (LCV)

  • Any two axle rigid vehicle with a cab chassis construction, with a gross vehicle mass that is greater than 1.5 tonnes but less than 4.5 tonnes

Car


  • A car is any motor vehicle, including if towing a trailer or caravan, that is not a:
    • Motorcycle
    • Light commercial vehicle
    • Heavy commercial vehicle

The Victorian Government has determined vehicle classes based on each vehicle's size, weight and configuration. Vehicle class definitions are the same on CityLink and EastLink motorways.
