Eurovignette in 2026: what fleet managers need to know

The Eurovignette is a time-based toll charge for heavy goods vehicles and vehicle combinations with a total weight of 12 tonnes or more, used on the roads of Luxembourg and Sweden. Paying it serves as proof that road toll has been settled in advance for a chosen period, a day, a week, a month or a year. It applies to trucks used for the commercial carriage of goods, not to buses or other passenger vehicles.

The scheme has been shrinking for years. Denmark left on 1 January 2025 and the Netherlands followed on 1 July 2026, both switching to distance-based toll systems. As of 2026, the Eurovignette covers Luxembourg and Sweden only.

What is the Eurovignette?

The Eurovignette is based on an intergovernmental agreement from 1994 between the participating countries. You pay for a fixed period rather than by distance travelled, so a truck used two days a week pays the same rate as one running the same route every working day.

Once the charge is paid, it is registered against the vehicle's number plate. There is no device to install and nothing to display in the windscreen.

Which countries use the Eurovignette in 2026?

Two countries operate the Eurovignette in 2026:

  • Luxembourg
  • Sweden

Both Denmark and the Netherlands have moved to distance-based, per-kilometre toll systems, so a Eurovignette is no longer needed or available for either country.

Which vehicles need a Eurovignette?

The Eurovignette applies to heavy goods vehicles used for the commercial carriage of goods, with a maximum permissible gross weight of 12 tonnes or more. Rigids, tractor units and drawbar combinations above this threshold are in scope. Vehicles not used for commercial goods transport, including buses, are not.

How is the Eurovignette price calculated?

The rate is set by four factors: the validity period, the number of axles, the Euro emission class and the CO2 emission class. Since 25 March 2025, CO2 class has been part of the pricing alongside the other three factors.

Current vignette rates for Luxembourg and Sweden are published in the official tariff schedule on eurovignettes.eu. For occasional cross-border trips rather than a regular schedule, daily and weekly vignettes are usually the cheaper option.

How to buy a Eurovignette for your fleet

There are two ways to buy a Eurovignette:

  1. Through eurovignettes.eu. The central booking portal lets you buy daily, weekly, monthly and annual vignettes for individual vehicles. You can pay using your Eurowag fuel card, and the transaction then appears on the Eurowag Customer Self-Care portal the following day.
  2. At designated sales points. Some service stations near participating borders still sell Eurovignettes, though this option is shrinking as the system digitises.
