The kilometer charge for trucks in Belgium once again generated more than a billion euros last year – €1,060 billion to be precise. This is evident from statistics compiled by Viapass, the interregional entity that coordinates and monitors the kilometer charge in Belgium.

In concrete terms, the toll generated €691.8 million in Flanders, €357.4 million in Wallonia, and €10.8 million in Brussels. For Belgium as a whole, this amounts to €1.060 billion, up from €1.016 billion in 2024.

The kilometer charge applies to all domestic and foreign trucks with a maximum permissible mass (MTM) exceeding 3.5 tons, on highways and many regional roads, using a GNSS (satellite-based) system. Belgium introduced the kilometer charge in 2016, and revenues have shown a steady upward trend: from €888 million in 2023 to €1,060 billion today.

Other countries

The Netherlands doesn’t have a kilometer-based truck toll yet. However, a national truck toll is planned for this year, replacing the Eurovignette. The future system will also be based on weight and CO2 emissions.

France uses a traditional toll system on most highways, which applies to all vehicles. Germany operates the so-called ‘LKW-Maut’, one of Europe’s largest truck toll systems, which applies to trucks over 3.5 tons on highways and many federal roads. Since 2024-2025, the system includes a CO2-based surcharge.
