Providers and OBUs
Once the truck toll comes into effect, every truck in the Netherlands must have a valid onboard OBU. Even if it only operates on roads exempt from the truck toll.
To obtain an OBU, you must sign a contract with a service provider. Alternatively, you must have your contract amended to include the truck toll in the Netherlands. An OBU is also referred to as an onboard unit or tollbox.
