Trucks of 12 tons and above
As of 1 January 2025, trucks of 12 tons and above are to pay road toll based on how much CO2 they emit.
The public road network
The toll applies to driving on the main part of the Danish state road network and parts of the Danish municipal road network.
Do I have to pay toll?
You must pay road toll from 1 January 2025 if your truck weighs 12 tons or more and is used for freight transport.
You can see the truck's technical total weight in the Danish Motor Register (DMR) or on the registration certificate in the field F1.
In the Danish Register of Motor Vehicles (DMR) under usage, you can see whether your truck is registered for freight transport, as a motor vehicle for hauling of semi-trailers or with special permits, which means that you have to pay toll.
As a general rule, you will have to pay toll from 2025 if you currently pay road use tax.
These vehicles do not have to pay toll
As a general rule, you will not have to pay toll from 2025 if you currently not pay road use tax.
It applies:
- Vehicles belonging to the military, the state emergency services, the police, and road authorities.
- Vehicles designed for firefighting and rescue operations and only used for emergency response.
- Vehicles owned and exclusively used by emergency commissioners and not used commercially in competition with businesses.
- Trucks used solely by driving schools for training and practice driving.
- Trucks registered to a circus or an amusement park and only used to transport the company's equipment, not for freight transport.
- Vintage trucks.
The legislative proposal har been introduced, where the above is expected to be passed in the Danish Parliament in December, coming into effect on 1 January 2025.
Do you believe your truck is not registered correctly?
If you can document that the information in the Danish Register of Motor Vehicles (DMR) about your truck does not match the information on the registration certificate or the customer information file, you can register the truck for an inspection.
You must bring the customer information file (CIF) or the certificate of conformity (CoC) document for your truck to the inspection.
The inspection company can subsequently update the Danish Motor Register with the correct information.
If the updated information affects the CO2 emission class classification, the classification in the Danish Register of Motor Vehicles will reflect the information from the inspection.
