The revised system will apply to heavy goods vehicles over 12 tonnes, with fees determined by both Euro class and CO₂ efficiency. Vehicles will be divided into five CO₂ classes, with lower-emission trucks benefiting from reduced charges.
Euro 6 trucks will be placed in CO₂ Class 1 by default.
A lower toll rate is available for vehicles with lower CO₂ emissions per tonne-kilometre. Emissions will be assessed using Vecto (Vehicle Energy Consumption Calculation Tool), an EU standard also used in Germany and Denmark.
According to a report by the Swedish road transport news siteTrailer.se, the new toll rates will vary based on axle count and CO₂ classification. For vehicles with up to three axles, a Euro 6 truck in CO₂ Class 1 will be charged 8,644 SEK per year or 90 SEK per day for foreign hauliers, while the same vehicle in CO₂ Class 5 will be charged 2,161 SEK per year or 22 SEK per day. For vehicles with four or more axles, a Euro 6 truck in CO₂ Class 1 will be charged 14,414 SEK per year or 147 SEK per day, while the same vehicle in CO₂ Class 5 will be charged 3,609 SEK per year or 45 SEK per day.
The current annual toll for a Euro 6 truck is 14,479 SEK. Under the new system, trucks in CO₂ Class 1 will pay 14,414 SEK per year. Vehicles with higher fuel efficiency and lower emissions will qualify for significant reductions.
This means that while the default rates for many trucks remain unchanged, operators with more fuel-efficient vehicles will benefit from lower tolls. The system is designed to encourage investment in lower-emission vehicles rather than impose a blanket toll increase. Older or less efficient trucks may see similar or slightly higher costs depending on classification.
The toll applies to all trucks over 12 tonnes. Foreign hauliers can pay daily, weekly, or monthly instead of annually.
The reform aligns Sweden’s road toll policy with EU environmental targets, encouraging investment in low-emission vehicles while maintaining a competitive transport sector.
