General
2G/4G transition: Several countries are beginning to modernise their toll on-board units (OBUs), with a focus on 4G technology.
EETS proliferation: Increasing integration of European Electronic Toll Service (EETS) for cross-border use.
The switch to 4G toll devices is crucial for future toll processing in view of the global shutdown of outdated 2G networks. 2G technology can no longer meet today's requirements for speed, capacity and security. The switch to 4G offers advantages such as a more stable, faster connection; support for emerging new functionality; and expanded usage options in various toll contexts.
The 2G network shutdown is imminent in the following countries:
We suggest you switch to 4G now to avoid bottlenecks and make the most of the modern technology.
Czech Republic
The new toll context for UTA One next is nearly here! Soon, you’ll be able to activate the Czech Republic toll context on your UTA One next device and benefit from improved toll processing in the region.
Slovakia
In July 2025, CO₂-based toll charging was introduced in Slovakia. Charges now depend on vehicle emissions and weight classes, placing more focus on the implementation of EU climate strategies.
Slovenia
On 1 November 2025, CO₂ tolls will be introduced in Slovenia. The national system will be adapted to give greater weight to emission classes and to prepare for planned EU-wide uniform regulations.
Italy
A CO₂ toll will be introduced in Italy on 1 March 2026. The new tariff structure includes price adjustments benefitting lower-emission vehicles. This is a significant step towards implementing EU environmental requirements promoting transport transparency.
