Except that logic goes out the window where trucks are concerned, because not only can there be fuel subsidies, the registration costs are not remotely proportionate to the amount car drivers pay for the mass they haul.
This decision is a bit of a double whammy to passenger vehicle ICE drivers TBH, who continue to prop up the road network while everyone gets a discount or a freebie.
