Since 1 July 2026, a kilometre-based truck toll applies in the Netherlands to trucks with a maximum permissible weight above 3,500 kg. In addition to the distance-based toll, CO₂ emissions will play a decisive role in the tariff.
With the GPS-Buddy solution, paid toll amounts are made visible within trip reports. This provides immediate insight into driven kilometers and the associated costs. All within one platform.
On 1 July 2026, the Netherlands replaced the Eurovignette with a distance-based toll for trucks above 3,500 kg. The toll applies to all Dutch motorways and a number of national (N) roads.
Permissible maximum mass
EURO emission class
CO₂ performance class
Number of kilometers driven
Cleaner vehicles pay less. Higher emissions mean higher costs per kilometer.
The truck toll has direct consequences for operational costs:
Variable costs increase
Without real-time insight into driven kilometers and related toll charges, there is no clear overview of the actual impact per vehicle and per trip.

With the toll calculation in Flowter, you see almost in real time how much truck toll your vehicles are paying. Flowter calculates the toll based on the GPS location of your vehicles, with high accuracy and without waiting for the toll invoice. This way you know straight away which costs you can pass on to your customers, and your administration stays up to date. When the invoice arrives, you can simply compare it with the calculation as a check.
After the request, the situation is reviewed.
The toll registration is arranged through cooperation between GPS-Buddy and MSTS Tolls (Shell), ensuring the truck toll is processed correctly and the foundation is in place before the start date.
The paid toll amounts are linked to the corresponding trips within the GPS-Buddy platform. As a result, driven kilometers and toll charges become visible together in the reports.
From that moment on, toll data, trip information and vehicle data are available within one platform. This enables easier analysis, reporting and internal management.
The solution ensures that truck toll does not become a separate cost stream but part of the existing fleet overview. Concretely, this provides:
Insight into paid toll per trip and per vehicle
Immediate overview of driven kilometers and associated toll charges
Transparent substantiation for recharging costs to clients
Fewer manual checks and less administrative fragmentation
Control over variable costs that move with deployment and vehicle type
One central overview combined with trip data, vehicle performance and idle time
Reliable implementation through cooperation with MSTS Tolls (Shell)
