The Eurovignette is the odd one out among European truck charges: you pay for time, not distance. It has also shrunk sharply as member countries leave for their own distance-based systems, so fleets need to know where it still applies before budgeting a route.
What the Eurovignette Is
The Eurovignette is a time-based road charge for heavy goods vehicles, based on EU Directive 1999/62. Rather than paying per kilometre, you buy access for a period, a day, week, month, or year, and the truck can run as much as it likes on the participating network within that window. It applies to vehicles with a gross weight over 12 tonnes.
Who's Still In It
The membership has changed significantly. Denmark left at the start of 2025, and the Netherlands left on 1 July 2026 to introduce its own distance-based toll. As of mid-2026, the Eurovignette covers Luxembourg and Sweden. Fleets that previously bought one vignette for several countries now need to check each country's current system separately.
CO2-Based Pricing
Since March 2025, CO2 emission classes feed into Eurovignette pricing, so two otherwise-similar Euro VI trucks can be quoted different rates depending on their CO2 band, with cleaner, VECTO-certified vehicles paying less on the annual rate.
Why Connect It to Fleevo
Even a time-based charge needs to be attributed correctly, which vehicle, which period, which country. Connected to Fleevo, Eurovignette costs sit alongside your distance-based tolls, fuel, and fines, so the full road-charge picture for a route is in one place rather than split across systems.
