Starting from July of this year, the truck toll will be extended to all federal highways
Thus, the toll-mandatory route network will then extend to 52,000 km. Estimates show that about 140,000 additional domestic and foreign trucks and vehicle combinations weighing over 7.5 tons will have to pay toll from about 30,000 companies.
What does this mean?
The extension of the toll to all federal highways affects not only the logistics industry. Other companies that are active regionally are also affected. Therefore, anyone who owns vehicles or vehicle combinations that weigh over 7.5 tons of permissible total weight should inform themselves in time whether a toll obligation applies.
Do I have to look for a terminal every time?
No, you don’t have to. In many heavy trucks, so-called OBU’s (On-Board Units) have been installed for years, which automatically turn on when the vehicle starts and send a signal at regular intervals to the Toll Collect central unit for toll calculation. The toll is calculated centrally there, and you receive a monthly toll statement.

The information about the incurred toll amount can be viewed in the customer portal under the section "Unbilled Trips" after 48 hours – usually earlier.
How to get an OBU
An On-Board Unit (OBU) is the most convenient solution for paying toll. In order to now install an OBU in your vehicles, you first need to register online in the Toll Collect customer portal.
Once registered, you can register your vehicles yourself or deregister them, update address data or the data for contact persons, and also request a new payment method if needed. All registered companies can download the toll statement via the customer portal and also view any unbilled trips. As a new customer, you will receive your login details directly upon online registration.
Once companies and vehicles are registered, the appropriate OBU’s can be installed by a service partner. Certified workshops that can be found on the Toll Collect Homepage are considered service partners. The On-Board Unit is provided free of charge by Toll Collect, and the cost for installation is borne by the company itself.
