KLG Europe prepares for the introduction of the Dutch truck toll and higher Belgian road tolls

09 juni 2026

As of 1 July 2026, two significant developments will come into effect that will impact European road transport. The Netherlands will introduce the Dutch Truck Toll, while Belgian Road Toll rates in Flanders will increase simultaneously. These changes will result in higher infrastructure-related costs across the logistics sector and will affect transport operations both domestically and internationally. At KLG Europe, we closely monitor these developments. As a logistics service provider, we consider it our responsibility to anticipate changes in legislation and regulations and to support our customers in navigating these changes as effectively as possible.

A changing logistics landscape

The introduction of the Dutch Truck Toll marks a new approach to infrastructure financing, whereby heavy goods vehicles will pay for the use of Dutch roads based on the number of kilometres driven. At the same time, Belgian Road Toll rates in Flanders—one of Europe's most important logistics regions—will increase, leading to additional costs for transport operators active in the Benelux and beyond.

These developments are part of a broader transformation within the logistics industry. Sustainability, infrastructure investment and the efficient use of transport networks are becoming increasingly important priorities for governments and industry stakeholders alike. Across Europe, authorities are investing in infrastructure while encouraging more sustainable and efficient transport solutions. As a result, the structure and distribution of logistics costs throughout the supply chain continue to evolve.

Impact on the logistics sector

The combination of the Dutch Truck Toll and higher Belgian Road Toll rates will lead to a structural increase in road transport costs. This will not only affect domestic distribution activities but also international supply chains in which the Netherlands and Belgium play a crucial role as logistics gateways to Europe.

For logistics providers, these developments underline the importance of continuously adapting networks, processes and cost structures to a changing market environment. At the same time, demand for reliable, flexible and efficient logistics solutions remains strong. This requires an ongoing balance between cost control, operational efficiency and the high service levels customers expect.

Focus on reliability and continuity

Despite these developments, KLG Europe remains committed to investing in a future-proof logistics organisation. Through continuous improvements in digitalisation, sustainability, network optimisation and customer service, we ensure that our customers can continue to rely on the quality, flexibility and reliability that define our organisation.

With an extensive European network, a strong local presence and integrated logistics solutions, KLG Europe supports customers across a wide range of industries every day. In a market characterised by constant change, we see it as our role to provide stability, transparency and continuity within increasingly complex supply chains.

The introduction of the Dutch Truck Toll and the increase in Belgian Road Toll rates are clear examples of developments that will continue to shape the logistics sector in the years ahead. KLG Europe will continue to monitor these changes closely and translate them into practical and effective solutions within our service offering wherever necessary.

By continuing to invest in people, processes, technology and sustainable logistics concepts, we are building an organisation that is ready for the future. In doing so, we remain committed to supporting our customers with logistics solutions that address not only today's challenges, but also tomorrow's opportunities.
