The Netherlands is preparing to implement a distance-based tolling system for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) exceeding 3.5 metric tons, scheduled to start on July 1, 2026. The initiative aims to modernize road user charging by employing GNSS-based technology to monitor vehicle movements and calculate tolls per kilometer driven.
