An estimated 16,500 trucks in the Netherlands may be incorrectly classified in the CO₂ emission class system.
Germany has implemented a groundbreaking CO2-dependent truck toll system for vehicles over 3.5 tons.

Germany has implemented a groundbreaking CO2-dependent truck toll system for vehicles over 3.5 tons. This initiative aims to promote sustainability and reduce carbon emissions in the transportation sector. To ensure accurate toll rates based on emissions, vehicles registered for toll collection must be classified into one of the five CO2 emission classes.
We kindly request all truck operators to update their vehicle information in the Toll Collect system or MSTS Tolls portals before December 1, 2023. This update is crucial to ensure proper classification and toll calculation for your vehicles.
As part of the registration process, you will be required to provide additional parameters and submit specific documents. Failure to provide these details may result in your vehicle being assigned to the most emission-intensive class, leading to significantly higher toll charges.
It's important to note that this new toll system does not apply to vehicles registered before July 1, 2019, as they are automatically assigned to Class 1.
To facilitate a seamless process, we are pleased to inform you that customers using our EETS (Electronic European Toll Service) solutions will be able to soon add conveniently this information on our portal instead of going through Toll Collect directly. This streamlines the process and ensures accurate and efficient toll management.
To update your vehicle information, please refer to the following documents:
