Denmark successfully launches national truck tolling scheme powered by Be-Mobile technology
Be-Mobile, a European mobility technology provider connecting drivers, road operators and infrastructure, supports Denmark's new national tolling scheme for trucks over 12 tonnes. Launched on 1 January 2025 and overseen by Sund & Bælt A/S as the designated Toll Charger, the scheme replaces the time-based Eurovignette with a kilometre-based and CO₂-differentiated road user charging model. Be-Mobile, together with its local Danish partner COWI A/S, enables this shift through its Toll Control Center.
From time-based to distance-based tolling
The retired Eurovignette charged fixed fees based on time periods, regardless of road usage. The new Danish system introduces a distance-based approach where tolls are calculated using four factors:
Distance travelled — charges reflect actual kilometres driven, ensuring fairer road usage fees. CO₂ emission class — trucks with lower emissions benefit from reduced toll rates, encouraging the use of cleaner vehicles. Vehicle weight — heavier vehicles incur higher charges, accounting for their impact on infrastructure. Low-emission zones — additional fees may apply in designated zones, promoting better urban air quality.
This shift ensures that tolling is both equitable and aligned with Denmark’s environmental goals.
The Be-Mobile Toll Control Center supports the entire process, from receiving and processing data from moving trucks to calculating toll trips and creating the toll billing details. This is done based on a digital road map of the Danish road network and considers all relevant toll context, such as height restrictions and road accessibility.
Flexibility for users
The platform caters to different user needs.
On Board Units (OBUs): frequent users can install an OBU provided by certified Toll Service Providers for automatic trip tracking, toll calculation and settlement.
Prebooked Route Tickets: occasional users can prebook e-tickets for their trips, offering a simple and flexible alternative.
Be-Mobile and Sund & Bælt: partners in implementation
Sund & Bælt, a state-owned company commissioned by the Danish Government to implement a kilometre tolling scheme for trucks, manages the implementation and operation of the tolling system.
Be-Mobile supports these efforts with its Toll Control Center, which provides real-time tolling — accurate and transparent calculation of toll fees based on vehicle data, distance and environmental factors; centralised management — seamless integration with Toll Service Providers, low-emission zone boundaries and enforcement systems; and scalability and reliability — a stable, reliable and high-performing operation across Denmark’s road network.
This platform enables Sund & Bælt to monitor, enforce and optimise tolling operations effectively, while delivering a user-friendly system for truck operators.
Be-Mobile offers possibilities for continuous innovation, improvement and development — for example, the possibility of expanding to toll collection for passenger cars, should this be a need in the future.
Paving the way to sustainable mobility
By adopting a kilometre-based, CO₂-differentiated tolling scheme, Denmark is setting an example for modern, sustainable road transport policies. Sund & Bælt’s leadership and Be-Mobile’s technology ensure that the system operates efficiently, fostering cleaner transport and fairer road usage.
This initiative represents a significant step forward in aligning mobility with environmental responsibility, highlighting Denmark’s and Be-Mobile’s shared ambitions in sustainable innovation.

Why this matters
- Denmark's 1 January 2025 launch replaced the time-based Eurovignette with kilometre-based, CO₂-differentiated truck charging.
- The new model bases toll charges on distance, emission class, vehicle weight and low-emission zones, linking charges more closely to road use and environmental factors.
- Be-Mobile's Toll Control Center processes trip data, calculates toll trips and billing details, and integrates with Toll Service Providers, low-emission-zone boundaries and enforcement systems.
- The scheme supports both On Board Units and prebooked route tickets, while the platform can later be extended to passenger cars if required.
