Important: Dutch Truck Toll System from 1 July 2026 – Action required
As of 1 July 2026, a truck toll system will be introduced in the Netherlands. This means that trucks will be charged per kilometre driven on a large part of the Dutch road network. This scheme replaces the Eurovignette and applies to both Dutch and foreign transport companies.
With the introduction of this toll, it becomes mandatory to use a so-called toll box (On Board Unit – OBU). It is essential that this is applied for, received, and correctly installed before 1 July 2026. In practice, we see that many transport companies start too late with such systems, resulting in waiting times, delivery issues, and vehicles that are (temporarily) unusable.
In addition, it is important to emphasize that the toll box must always be switched on whenever the vehicle is in the Netherlands, even when not actively driving on a toll road. The system automatically records where and when the vehicle is driving. A switched-off or malfunctioning toll box can immediately lead to fines.
Until the moment of implementation, the Eurovignette remains mandatory. Therefore, ensure that your vehicles have a valid Eurovignette until 1 July 2026. It will only expire once the new truck toll system comes into effect.
RDW Warning – This Is Not a voluntary preparation
Recently, the RDW (the Dutch authority for vehicle registration and compliance) visited Transport in Nood to further explain these developments. During this meeting, it was clearly stated that the upcoming period is crucial and that transport companies must take action.
The RDW explicitly asked us to inform and warn the market:
do not wait, but take action now to arrange a working toll box (OBU) and the corresponding contract in time.
The reason is simple:
Enforcement will start immediately on 1 July 2026.
This means that vehicles without a properly functioning and registered toll box will face fines, downtime, and operational issues from day one.
What you need to do now
- Check whether your current system is suitable for the Netherlands
- Choose a certified service provider
- Apply for your toll box(es) in time
- Ensure installation and activation before 1 July 2026
Delaying means taking risks.
