English translation:additional costs on vehicles
Explanation:
Hi!:)

I think the kanji combination is 車両付帯費.
And I would translate it as "additional/incidental costs on vehicles", which probably includes the "on-road costs" as duly suggested by Port City, but since you are translating an income statement (probably of a company that buys and uses not only automobiles as physical persons do), I would suggest this broader and more descriptive translation.

For further reference, see this article:

Hope it helps:)

  -> Thank you for your comment! However, this website is entirely in Japanese, only the term (not the same as the one asked for!) is translated and, I would say, into a rather strange English. The explanation in Japanese makes sense though.
