The TIS PL network in France
In France, HGV ETC has been operational since 2nd May 2007 and today operates across the whole French motorway network, which is almost 8200 km of motorways. It is known by the acronym of TIS PL (Télépéage Inter-Sociétés Poids Lourds: Inter-Company ETC HGV)
This new service facilitates and accelerates the transit of vehicles in the categories 3 and 4 at the toll gates (motorways, tunnels, bridges...) As from 1st April 2008, it will also be the only way to gain access to the discount programmes of the motorway companies.

The information from eurotoll
OpenLy, the concession company of the northern suburb boulevard in Lyon has developed its own toll pass and has not, for the moment, joined the TIS PL network. As yet, no date has been announced.
Heavy duty vehicles and buses are strictly prohibited from using the Prado Carénage Tunnel in Marseille!
The toll access to the Rungis International Market is reserved for Rungis card holding customers. This toll is not part of the TIS PL network.
