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 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

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.
