The truck toll in the Netherlands starts on 1 July 2026. From that date, truck owners will pay per kilometre driven. This will apply to almost all motorways and to certain provincial and municipal roads. The cleaner and lighter the vehicle, the lower the rate per kilometre. After the start of truck toll, the Dutch motor vehicle tax for trucks up to 12,000 kilos will be abolished. For trucks of 12,000 kilos and heavier, the Dutch motor vehicle tax will be significantly reduced. The Eurovignette for the Netherlands will end on July 1, 2026.
Once the truck toll comes into effect, all trucks in the Netherlands will need a valid OBU. Several providers supply these OBUs, each with different offers, terms, and conditions. Make sure you choose a provider in good time to ensure you receive your OBU in time.

For trucks that are 40 years or older, you may be able to apply for a dispensation. The requirement is that you use the truck only for private purposes. Police and fire vehicles can also get a dispensation.
Truck toll will apply to Dutch and foreign owners of vehicles in categories N2 and N3. These vehicles have a technical maximum mass of more than 3,500 kg.
