Toll for vehicles over 3.5 tonnes

Questions and answers

  • Vehicles with a Technically Permissible Maximum Laden Mass of more than 3.5 tonnes will pay tolls for the use of federal trunk roads from 1 July 2024.

    This includes both solo vehicles with a Technically Permissible Maximum Laden Mass of more than 3.5 tonnes and vehicle combinations whose motor vehicle has a Technically Permissible Maximum Laden Mass of more than 3.5 tonnes.

    Craft vehicles are to be exempted from the toll.

  • Toll Collect provides DIN slot OBUs for all vehicles.

    If no DIN slot is available for OBU installation, Toll Collect offers windshield OBUs.

  • All Toll Collect OBUs work in the same way and deliver the same results.

    It is possible to operate the WS-OBU via the cigarette lighter (on-board power supply cable). However, Toll Collect recommends fixed installation for functional (stable toll collection) and safety reasons (no cable in the cab). The wiring is done via a certified service partner or via the factory pre-fitting (as before). The installation does not take as long as the installation of a DIN slot OBU.

  • In order to be able to use an OBU, you must first register your company and your vehicles subject to toll with Toll Collect.

    Once you have received confirmation of your vehicle registration from Toll Collect, you can make an appointment with an authorised service partner to have an OBU installed. There are around 1,300 Toll Collect-trained workshops throughout Germany and in other European countries. You can find Toll Collect service partners in your region using our service partner search .

  • Toll Collect Windshield OBUs remain the property of Toll Collect GmbH at all times.

  • Toll Collect does not currently charge an OBU deposit.
