As of 1 June 2025, Switzerland will fully adopt the European Electronic Toll Service (EETS), replacing its current toll calculation method. Consequently, Emotach on-board units (OBUs) are being phased out. Their installation, replacement, and maintenance have been suspended since the start of this year, although existing devices may continue to be used until 31 December 2025.
The introduction of EETS will simplify toll payments, allowing hauliers to use a single on-board unit across multiple countries. To legally use EETS in Switzerland, a contract must be signed with an approved operator (such as Telepass, Toll4Europe or Axxès). Notably, this system supports postpaid payments and consolidated invoicing, making administration easier and helping to reduce costs.
