Hi please could tell me if i can go through the Frejus tunnel with my 1998 S reg scania truck as i have to get to Italy next week many thanks.

I think you’ll have a problem with an S reg wagon.
I’m sure there’s restrictions on anything older than Euro 3, but I’ll have a look n see if I can confirm that.

After only a quick look, the only thing I can find, so far, is the Tarrif List.
There I found
POIDS LOURDS,
Classe 3, Euro 0 (), 127,40 Euros.
Classe 4, Euro 0 (
), 256,00 Euros.
(*) Autocars & bus uniquement.
Autocars & bus uniquement means, I think, cars and buses only.
Classe 3 means 2 axle truck over 3m high. Classe 4 means 3 or more axle truck over 3m high.

I’m fairly sure that an S reg wagon will be Euro 0, so not allowed.
If it’s a Euro 1, then it’s the same rate, that’s 1 way.
For the Mont Blanc Tunnel, I can only see rates for Euro 1 or better.

Here is a link to the English version of the French SFTRF site, Frejus Tunnel Info page.

Where in Italy are you going? Is it a proper working trip, or a show truck?
The options basically are, Ventamilia, Frejus, Mont Blanc, via Switzerland or via Austria.
There are probably a few other routes, over passes etc. But there are a lot of weight restrictions which make it difficult. I’ve only ever used to ‘normal heavy traffic’ routes, so I don’t know about other alternatives.
