In short: truck tolls change in at least seven European countries in 2027. On 1 January the Netherlands restores its full rates (+32% for a Euro VI truck over 32 t), Lithuania launches a distance-based toll, Slovakia moves to a state-run system and Alsace starts charging with R-Pass. Romania requires an on-board unit from 15 January, and Croatia and Sweden follow in March.
Tolls are the second largest variable cost of an international fleet after diesel, and in 2027 they go up on many of the routes linking the Iberian Peninsula with northern and eastern Europe. Some changes are only about price. Others require a new on-board unit. Reach the border without the right device and the issue is not the price: it is the fine and the truck standing still.
This is the country-by-country list with the information published up to October 2026. Some 2027 rates are still provisional and we will update this page as they are confirmed.

Netherlands: the biggest jump on the invoice
The Dutch distance-based truck toll for vehicles over 3.5 tonnes has applied since 1 July 2026, replacing the Eurovignette. Between September and December 2026 rates were temporarily cut by 22.3% because of high fuel prices. That cut ends on 31 December.
For a Euro VI truck over 32 tonnes in CO2 class 1, the rate goes from €0.156 to €0.206 per km. According to the IRU, that is around €500 more per 10,000 tolled kilometres.
Lithuania, Slovakia and Romania: new devices
Lithuania launches Via Toll on 1 January 2027, a distance-based system with a CO2 component. The estimated average rate for a Euro VI truck over 12 tonnes with up to three axles is about €0.111 per km, and toll revenue is expected to rise from roughly €70 million to €110 million a year with the same traffic.
Slovakia plans to move toll collection to a state system on 1 January. Fleets using SkyToll units will have to switch to the national equipment or to an EETS provider. In mid-October 2026 the replacement procedure had not yet been published, and the Slovak audit office considers the timetable risky.
Romania replaced its truck vignette with TollRo on 1 October 2026, at about €0.10 per km on motorways for a Euro VI truck of 12 tonnes or more and half that on national roads. Route tickets and the app can be used until 15 January 2027; after that, on-board units and EETS compatibility arrive.
France, Croatia and Sweden
Alsace starts charging trucks over 3.5 tonnes with R-Pass on 1 January 2027 on about 200 km, with estimated rates between €0.07 and €0.34 per km. The rest of Grand Est may add a similar charge on about 525 km from April. Croatia moves to free-flow tolling in March, and Sweden extends its vignette to goods vehicles over 3.5 tonnes, probably as a temporary measure.
