Kilometer charge: changes planned from July 1, 2025
New rates:
Starting Tuesday, July 1, new rates for the kilometer charge will be applicable:
- For the Brussels-Capital Region: this is an indexation of the rates
- For Flanders: an indexation and an adjustment of the rates in accordance with Article 54 of the Program Decree of December 20th, 2024
- For Wallonia (SOFICO): no change to the rates
Please refer to the table below for the new rates effective from July 1.
Change to the network:
In Flanders, the R1 'Oosterweel' bypass is modeled and will be activated as soon as the bypass is implemented (the original part of the Ring will be closed due to renovation works on the R1 in Antwerp between the Antwerpen-Noord (E19/A12/R1) and Antwerpen-Oost (E313/R1) interchanges).
No roads with a rate higher than zero will be added at this date in either Wallonia or the Brussels-Capital Region.
General information
As a reminder, the tariffs for the kilometer charge apply to all Belgian and foreign heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) of more than 3.5 tons and semi-trailer towing vehicles of category N1 with body code BC.
The software of activated OBUs (On Board Units) of the six service providers accredited for the kilometer charge in Belgium will be automatically updated with the new tariffs that come into force on 1 July. The six service providers are Axxès, Satellic, Telepass, Toll4Europe, TotalEnergies Marketing Services and W.A.G. Payment Solutions.
An OBU is a device in the truck cabin that records the number of kilometers driven on paying toll roads. Trucks and semi-trailer tractors of the N1 category with a body code BC registered in Belgium or abroad must always have the OBU switched on when driven on public roads in the three regions.
The amount charged per kilometer on toll roads depends on three factors: the region where the road is located, the GVW and the Euro emission standard of the vehicle. The kilometer charge applies to three GVW categories (more than 3.5 tons to 12 tons, more than 12 tons to 32 tons, and more than 32 tons) and seven Euro standards (from the most polluting Euro 0 standard to the most environmentally friendly Euro 6 standard). The higher the Euro standard of the vehicle and the lower its GVW, the more advantageous the tariff per kilometer driven.
A preferential tariff of zero cents/km is granted to zero-emission vehicles (ZEV) on the entire Flemish and the Brussels-Capital Region road network. However, the OBU remains mandatory for ZEV. In Wallonia (SOFICO), ZEV are still classified in the EURO VI emissions category.
