Vehicle tax in much of Switzerland is decided by the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW). Important distinction of GVW is that it takes into account the maximum permissible operating weight, if the vehicle is fully loaded.

Drive a heavier car, pay more tax. Funnily enough, you don't see a lot of pickup trucks or minivans.
