New Danish Toll for Trucks Starting 2025

Trucks Weighing 12 Tons and Above

Starting 1 January 2025, trucks that weigh 12 tons or more must pay a road toll in Denmark. The toll depends on how much CO2 your truck emits. This system is meant to encourage more climate-friendly transportation.

Trucks Weighing 3.5 Tons and Above

By 1 January 2027, trucks weighing 3.5 tons or more will also need to pay the toll. This is part of Denmark’s plan to reduce emissions and improve sustainability on the roads.

Denmark’s kilometer-based toll system aims to reduce CO2 emissions by 0.3 million tons in 2025 and 0.4 million tons by 2030. It replaces the Eurovignette and ensures that trucks pay their fair share for using roads.

Digital tools like the IMPARGO TMP® help logistics companies prepare for these changes, saving costs and improving efficiency. Learn about investing in a TMP®.

How Much Is the Toll for Trucks in Denmark?

The toll depends on:

Use a TMS for Efficient Toll Management

• Calculate toll costs easily with the European Toll Calculator.
• Plan cost-efficient routes using the Online HGV Truck Route Planner.
• Manage your fleet digitally with the DriverApp.

How to Manage Toll Costs with a TMS

Harald Zoller, CEO of Zoller Logistic, uses IMPARGO to optimize logistics for a large German furniture company. With 75 trucks under management, Zoller needed tools to reduce costs while protecting his service providers from financial problems.

“Cost transparency is the foundation of uncovering saving potentials,” says Zoller.

Using IMPARGO, Zoller calculates transport costs before contract negotiations. Afterward, updated toll and fuel prices are used to fine-tune the cost. This method helps Zoller reduce costs without harming relationships with service providers.

IMPARGO tools also help Zoller identify cost-saving opportunities, like better routes or scenarios for toll and fuel changes. Read more about Zoller Logistic’s success.

FAQ: Denmark Truck Toll

Who is required to pay the Danish truck toll?

As of 1 January 2025, all trucks weighing 12 tons or more must pay a toll when driving in Denmark. Starting 1 January 2027, the toll will expand to include trucks weighing 3.5 tons or more.

How is the Danish truck toll calculated?

The toll rate depends on three key factors:

• CO2 Emission Class: Trucks with higher emissions pay higher tolls.
• Weight Class: Heavier trucks incur higher toll charges.
• Low Emission Zones (LEZ): Driving in designated zones, like Copenhagen or Aarhus, results in additional toll costs.

What happens if I don’t pay the toll?

Failing to pay the toll results in a fine of DKK 4,500. The toll system automatically checks if your truck is registered for payment using GNSS equipment or a KmToll ticket.

How can I avoid toll fines in Denmark?

To avoid fines, make sure to pay the toll before driving. You can:

1. Install GNSS Equipment: This system automatically tracks your distance and pays the toll. View providers.
2. Purchase a KmToll Ticket: Buy a ticket online before starting your trip. Learn more here.

What are Low Emission Zones (LEZ)?

LEZ are areas with stricter emission rules to reduce pollution. In Denmark, these zones include Copenhagen, Frederiksberg, Odense, Aarhus, and Aalborg. Trucks driving in these zones pay higher toll rates. See detailed maps of LEZ here.

Are any vehicles exempt from paying the toll?

Some vehicles may qualify for exemptions, such as specific government or emergency vehicles. Check if your truck is exempt by reviewing the official regulations. See exemption rules here.

Can I calculate toll costs before traveling?
