From 1 January, 2025, a kilometre-based toll system replaces the Eurovignette in Denmark. The new CO2-differentiated toll is estimated to reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 0.3m tons in 2025 and approximately 0.4m tons in 2030.

The kilometre-based toll is designed to ensure that the socio-economic costs, such as infrastructure wear, accidents, noise, air pollution, and contributions to traffic congestion, are covered to a greater extent than currently.

All trucks over 12 tonnes will pay the toll from 1 January, 2025.  The Danish government intends to extend the toll to trucks of over 3.5 tonnes on 1 January, 2027.   The toll initially applies to driving on the main part of the state road network and parts of the municipal road network. The intention is for the toll to apply to the entire Danish public road network as of 1 January, 2028.

Tolls will range from 0.13DKK/km to 1.10DKK/km depending on vehicle weight and emission class.  More information is available here.

A recent press release from mobility service provider UTA Edenred confirmed that the company’s toll devises are compatible with the new system.
