Green transition of the Danish road transport
A kilometre-based and CO2-differentiated road toll for certain trucks, together with a change in national rules for the weight and dimensions of trucks, is estimated to reduce CO2 emissions by approx. 0.3m tons in 2025 and approx. 0.4m tons in 2030.
The toll entered into effect as of 1 January 2025, which also mark the date for Denmark leaving the coorporation on the existing period-based road user toll for trucks (the Eurovignette).
The kilometre-based toll ensures that the socio-economic costs, which the truck traffic entails in terms of infrastructure wear, accidents, noise, air pollution, and contributions to traffic congestion, are covered to a greater extent than was the case earlier.
