The Inter-departmental Task Force on Monitoring Fuel Supply announced today (July 13) that the two-month toll waiver and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) fuel subsidy for commercial vehicles will end at 11.59pm on July 16 and 11.59pm on July 30 respectively as scheduled.

     The Government Economist estimates that international refined oil prices for diesel will gradually decline for the remainder of the year. Meanwhile, recent data also indicate that the prices of auto-LPG have remained broadly stable. As the support measures are temporary and short-term in nature, and to avoid creating risks to public finances, the Task Force decided that the above two time-limited support measures would end as scheduled upon the expiration of the two-month period.

     Starting from 0.00am on July 17, all commercial vehicles using government tolled tunnels and the Tsing Sha Control Area must resume paying normal tolls. The payment means and time limits remain unchanged. The Transport Department (TD) has directed the toll service provider to adjust the HKeToll system to ensure smooth operations. Motorists may obtain real-time toll information via the HKeToll or HKeMobility mobile apps, as well as toll information displays.

     In addition, from 0.00am on July 31, upon the cessation of the LPG fuel subsidy to local passenger transport commercial vehicles, drivers should note that the actual LPG prices will be subject to the oil companies' retail prices.

     The Task Force will continue to dynamically assess the situation in the Middle East region as well as fuel supply and prices to ensure the stability of Hong Kong's energy supply.
