Denmark | Modification toll system

From 1 January 2025, the current mandatory euro vignette will no longer apply in Denmark. It will be replaced by a kilometre-based motorway toll for trucks, which will depend on the vehicle's CO2 emissions. This is intended to make freight transport more environmentally friendly.

According to the Danish Ministry of Taxation, the kilometre-based motorway toll will initially apply to trucks with a maximum permissible gross weight of 12 tons or more from 1 January 2025.

From 2027, trucks with a weight of 3.5 tons or more will also be affected by the toll. With this change, Denmark is adapting its toll system to the reformed EU Road guideline (or Eurovignette guideline), which provides a CO2 differentiation. The toll road network will also be expanded in two stages.

First around 10.900 kilometres will be subject to tolls, followed by around 75.000 kilometres from 2028, which will include all public roads.

Sund og Bælt Holding A/S, which is also responsible for the toll bridges on the Great Belt and Öresund, will be responsible for collecting the tolls on behalf of the state.
