GPS Buddy vrachtwagenheffing oplossing 1
New toll regulation from 1 July 2026

Dutch truck toll fully automated and transparent 

Real-time insight into toll, CO₂ and actual cost per kilometer

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.

What will change due to the truck toll?

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.

The tariff is determined based on:

  • 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 impact on businesses

The truck toll has direct consequences for operational costs:

  • Variable costs increase

  • Cost per trip changes
  • CO₂ emissions gain financial impact
  • Administrative processing becomes more complex
  • Invoicing towards clients must be adjusted

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.
