We want to keep you informed about upcoming changes to Danish road tolls. As of January 1st, 2025, a new distance-based and emission-dependent toll system, KmToll, will be implemented for all trucks weighing 12 tonnes or more. 

What does this mean for you? 

  • Distance-Based Tolls: Instead of a flat toll system, you'll now be charged based on the kilometres travelled within Denmark. 
  • Emission-Dependent Costs: The toll amount will also consider your truck's CO2 emission class, incentivizing the use of cleaner vehicles. 

Where will the tolls apply? 
The KmToll system will apply to most of the national road network and parts of the municipal road network in Denmark. This covers approximately 10,900 kilometers spread across various road segments. More details can be found on the Danish Road Directorate’s map of tollable roads.


What are the expected costs? 
The exact cost for your truck will depend on its weight class and CO2 emission class. For example, a Euro 6 emission class (class 2) truck can expect to pay approximately 1.22 Danish Kroner (DKK) per kilometre, translating roughly to 0.16 Euros per kilometre. For more detailed information, visit the dedicated website.

Stay informed and plan ahead 
For more detailed information on the KmToll system, including specific toll rates for different vehicle types and emission classes, please visit the official Danish Road Pricing website: Road pricing site (vejafgifter.dk) (the link is in Danish, but English is available on the website). Or subscribe to our newsletter to stay updated. 

Checks and penalities
Denmark's toll system will use advanced technology, including automatic number plate recognition and DSRC scanners, to ensure that all trucks pay their due. If a truck fails to pay, it will face a hefty fine of DKK 4,500 (€600), which can be imposed daily. This rigorous enforcement ensures fair contributions from all road users.
