Are you ready for the new toll In Belgium?
Starting April 2016, the current Eurovignette system in Belgium will be replaced by "VIAPASS", a new satellite-assisted, route-based toll system for trucks over 3.5t. The three regions in Belgium- Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels- have decided to reform the traffic tax in order to consider the actual use of a truck with a kilometre toll. Luxembourg and The netherlands are currently the last countries with the Eurovignette system.

The tariffs of the toll roads have been fixed by the governments of the regions. The tariffs have been fixed on the basis of three parameters: the Gross Vehicle Weight, the Euro emission norm and the type of toll road.
Trucks of more than 3,5 tons GVW need an On Board Unit (OBU) onboard that is constantly switched on when on the road in Belgium. A OBU is a small device that registers the number of kilometres you have driven on toll roads. It sends the total to the billing center which proved you at regular times with a detailed bill.
