The Dutch truck toll system is changing — and with it, the way transport costs are calculated. Starting July 1, 2026, the Netherlands will move to a CO₂-based, distance-driven toll system. To stay competitive and plan ahead, transport and logistics companies need tools that deliver accurate cost calculations now.
In this article, we’ll show you how to use PTV Lgoistics software as a Netherlands truck toll calculator — enabling you to simulate the upcoming toll structure, optimize routes, and plan smarter.
What Is the New Dutch Truck Toll?
The new toll system replaces the Eurovignette with a pricing model based on:
- Kilometers driven
- Vehicle weight and CO₂ emissions class
- Road category (highway, regional, etc.)
All trucks over 3,500 kg — domestic and international — will be affected. Final rates are expected to average €0.15–€0.20 per kilometer, depending on the vehicle type.
Why You Need a Toll Calculator Now
Even though the toll begins mid-2026, contract negotiations, freight tenders, and transport planning for next year start in Q4 2025. You need to:
- Simulate future route costs
- Adjust freight rates
- Compare different vehicle types
- Identify low-toll or CO₂-efficient routes
This is where PTV Logistics’ toll calculation software comes in.
