Czech Truck Toll 2026: Myto CZ, CO₂ Classes & How to Calculate Route Costs

Updated June 2026

Czech truck toll in 2026 runs on Myto CZ, a free-flow GPS-based system for all vehicles over 3.5 t on motorways, expressways and selected main roads. From 1 March 2024, rates are based on CO₂ emission class — not just axle count or weight. Most diesel trucks default to CO₂ Class 1 (highest rate) unless the operator submits CO₂ certification. One document per vehicle is the difference between paying the top rate indefinitely or stepping down to a lower band.

What is Myto CZ and who must pay?

Myto CZ is the Czech road toll system for vehicles with a technically permissible maximum mass over 3.5 tonnes. It covers motorways (D roads), expressways (R roads) and selected class-I main roads. Cars and vans use a separate vignette — they are not subject to Myto CZ. Truck and trailer combinations are categorised by the total axle count of the combination, including retractable axles whether raised or not.

The system is entirely free-flow: no stopping at booths. Fixed gantries and mobile enforcement units read the OBU signal or licence plate continuously. Authorisation must exist before the vehicle enters a tolled section — there is no retroactive purchase option.

CO₂ emission classes — introduced 1 March 2024

From 1 March 2024, Czech toll rates include a CO₂ component as required by the updated EU Eurovignette directive (2022/362/EU). Vehicles are assigned one of five CO₂ emission classes. Class 1 carries the highest rate and is the default for any diesel truck without a submitted CO₂ certificate. Class 5 is reserved for zero-emission vehicles. There is no penalty for staying in Class 1 — operators simply pay the higher rate until they submit documentation.

Myto CZ CO₂ emission class overview

Class	Typical vehicle	Document to submit	Rate level
CO₂ 1	Diesel/HVO trucks without CO₂ certificate — default class	None — fallback class applied automatically	Highest
CO₂ 2–4	Low-emission EURO VI or LNG trucks with manufacturer certification	CoC or manufacturer CO₂ declaration (VECTO method)	Reduced
CO₂ 5	Battery electric and hydrogen trucks	Type-approval as zero-emission vehicle	Lowest

Source: CzechToll / mytocz.eu. Submit CO₂ documents at mytocz.eu. Without a submission, Class 1 applies by default. Updated: June 2026.

Every EURO VI diesel fleet running Czech Republic without having submitted CO₂ documents is paying Class 1 rates on every kilometre. The document submission is a one-off task per vehicle — a CoC or manufacturer CO₂ declaration — and the lower rate applies to every subsequent Czech kilometre that vehicle operates.

OBU or EETS box: how to pay

Option 1

Myto CZ OBU

GPS-based on-board unit issued by CzechToll. Available at official distribution points near major border crossings, fuel stations and logistics hubs, or order via mytocz.eu. The OBU records every tolled kilometre and charges the prepaid account automatically at each gantry.

Option 2

EETS Box

A single EETS box (DKV, Toll4Europe, Eurowag, Telepass) covers Czech Republic alongside Germany, Austria, France, Poland and other EU toll domains — one invoice per month. If your fleet already runs EETS for Germany and Austria, activating Czech Republic in the same provider account typically requires no additional hardware.

Registration and setup

To use the Myto CZ OBU directly:

Register company and vehicle at mytocz.eu
Collect the OBU at an official distribution point — available near Bohumín/Chałupki, Český Těšín, Hradec Králové and other major crossings — or request postal delivery
Set up prepaid balance or post-pay account
Submit CO₂ documents if the vehicle qualifies for a class better than CO₂ 1

For EETS box users: confirm Czech Republic is listed as an active domain in your provider account. Most providers include it, but activation may require a separate step in the provider portal — verify before the first Czech trip.

Calculating Czech toll cost

Czech toll rates per kilometre depend on road class (motorway, expressway, main road), vehicle weight category, axle count and CO₂ emission class. CzechToll publishes binding rate tables at mytocz.eu — that is the authoritative source for exact per-km figures. Any static table published elsewhere is downstream and may be outdated after periodic rate reviews.

For route-level planning at scale, manual lookup per trip is not practical. The IMPARGO Planner Module includes Czech toll costs (Myto CZ, all CO₂ classes, all axle categories) in the same route view as Toll Collect (DE), ASFINAG (AT), sanef (FR), e-TOLL (PL) and the rest of Europe — per-country breakdown, VAT toggle, side-by-side comparison of up to two routes.

Fines and enforcement

Myto CZ enforcement is automated: fixed gantries and mobile units read OBU signals and licence plates continuously. Three violation types carry separate fine amounts:

Entering a tolled section without active OBU or EETS coverage — administrative fine up to CZK 100,000 for operators; vehicle may be detained
Declaring a lower vehicle category (weight or axle count) than the actual vehicle — fine plus retroactive toll at the correct rate
Insufficient prepaid OBU balance — treated as unpaid toll; fine plus the outstanding amount

For current fine amounts see mytocz.eu or the Czech Ministry of Transport (mdcr.cz).

What this means for dispatch in 2026

Check CO₂ class before the first Czech trip. Default Class 1 costs more than necessary for a EURO VI fleet. Submit the CoC documents at mytocz.eu once per vehicle; the saving applies to every subsequent Czech kilometre.
Verify EETS coverage is activated. If the fleet already runs a DKV or Toll4Europe box for Germany and Austria, confirm Czech Republic is active in that account — it is not always enabled by default.
Price Czech toll into the quote, not the reconciliation. Using the route planner with the correct CO₂ class produces a per-trip toll figure that matches the Myto CZ invoice — no surprises at month end.

Build Czech toll into every route quote

The IMPARGO Planner Module includes Myto CZ costs (all CO₂ classes, axle categories) alongside Toll Collect, ASFINAG, sanef, e-TOLL and the rest of Europe — per-country breakdown, VAT toggle, side-by-side route comparison. In a 20-minute demo we show dispatchers how to price Czech legs at quoting stage — no surprises on the invoice.
