In 2025, the Danish Ministry of Transport plans to introduce a new toll system for trucks weighing over 12 tons. The changes will come into effect on January 1, covering a network of roads totaling 10,900 km. This network will include national roads (4,600 km) and urban roads, including 1,000 km located in low-emission zones. During this time, Denmark will abandon the currently functioning Eurovignette.

Two years later, in 2027, the new regulations will also cover vehicles weighing over 3.5 tons. Payments will be made through modern location devices, and carriers will have the option to use the EETS system. Six EETS providers are seeking accreditation from the KmToll system operator.

From January 1, 2028, as part of the new system, tolls will be imposed on the entire network of roads in Denmark, which totals 75,000 km. Drivers who do not pay the toll will face a penalty of 4,500 Danish crowns, equivalent to about 2,600 Polish zloty (1 crown is approximately 57-58 groszy).

Prices for 40-ton vehicle combinations will range from 0.2 Danish crowns per km for Class 5 vehicles (zero-emission) to 1.35 crowns (about 2.03 zloty) for Class 1 trucks, which are registered before January 1, 2019. This means that drivers can expect significant increases of up to 50%.

The introduction of the new system and higher fees aim to reduce CO2 emissions, with a projected reduction of 400,000 tons of CO2 by 2025. The Danish government has also planned subsidies for carriers, amounting to 29-25 million crowns annually for the purchase of biogas vehicles, which will total 161 million crowns by 2030.

The construction of the system will be handled by the Belgian company Be-Mobile, which signed a contract with the state-owned company Sund & Belt Holdings on February 17, 2023. The Danish company COWI will support the project, and Be-Mobile’s software will be responsible for data collection, calculating fees, and issuing invoices. In the future, the system may be expanded to include tolls for passenger cars.

Additionally, starting in January 2025, the rules for charging the Eurovignette in Sweden, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg will change. The fees will be based on the CO2 emission class rather than the Euro emission class, aiming to burden diesel engine users and promote electric transport solutions.
