New toll system in Denmark

From 1 January 2025, a kilometre-based toll system replaces the Eurovignette in Denmark. The new CO₂-differentiated toll is estimated to reduce CO₂ emissions by approx. 0.3m tons in 2025 and approx. 0.4m tons in 2030.

The kilometre-based toll is designed to ensure that the socio-economic costs, such as infrastructure wear, accidents, noise, air pollution, and contributions to traffic congestion, are covered to a greater extent than currently.

All trucks over 12 tonnes will pay the toll from 1 January 2025.  The Danish government intends to extend the toll to trucks of over 3.5 tonnes on 1 January 2027.   The toll initially applies to driving on the main part of the state road network and parts of the municipal road network. The intention is for the toll to apply to the entire Danish public road network as of 1 January 2028.

Tolls will range from 0.13DKK/km to 1.10DKK/km depending on vehicle weight and emission class.  More information is available here.

A recent press release from mobility service provider UTA Edenred confirmed that the company’s toll devises are compatible with new system.
