The Netherlands launches a new toll system
From 1 July 2026, the Netherlands will introduce a kilometer-based truck toll system for both Dutch and foreign heavy goods vehicles (categories N2 and N3).
The current Eurovignette system in the Netherlands will be replaced by a pay-per-kilometer toll system, similar to the Belgian and German model.
The new toll rates will depend on:
- vehicle weight
- vehicle emission level
The toll will apply on most Dutch motorways and selected regional roads.
For container transport operations through the Netherlands, this change will influence transport pricing from July 2026 onwards.
