Financial expert: In 2024, fueling, vehicle insurance and electric cars will become more expensive - these changes will affect consumers.

According to a report from www.saarbruecker-zeitung.de, some legal changes will come into force in Germany from January 1, 2024, which will affect not only the consumer but also the market.

The next stage of the CO₂ tax will lead to an increase in the price of petrol and diesel at petrol stations by around three cents per liter. This is expected to increase demand for alternative powertrains and mobility concepts as consumers look for cheaper alternatives. Using apps such as the more fuel app is recommended to save on fuel.

The changes in the type class classifications for motor vehicle insurance will affect the costs for comprehensive insurance or liability. Drivers with improved type ratings will benefit from lower insurance costs, while drivers with higher ratings will face increasing insurance costs.

The new regulation to make it easier to enforce fines for traffic violations across national borders will ensure that traffic offenders cannot simply get away with impunity. This is expected to lead to improved compliance with traffic rules.

The new regulations on general inspections and winter tires will help improve road safety, especially in winter conditions. The support for electric cars will continue, but no longer as generously as before.

Overall, the legal changes from 2024 will impact both the consumer and the market and will result in consumers looking for cheaper alternatives and increasing attention to compliance with traffic regulations.
