The truck toll in the Netherlands starts on 1 July 2026. From that date, truck owners will pay per kilometre driven. Before 1 July, every truck must be equipped with an on-board unit (OBU) that can be used in the Netherlands. From that date, checks will be carried out to ensure that your truck has a working onboard unit (OBU).

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.
