Drive through Belgium with UTA Edenred

As a country with a lot of transit traffic, Belgium has a well-developed road infrastructure. On 1 April 2016, the three regions Wallonia, Flanders and Brussels started operating the Viapass toll system, which is a toll system on motorways, expressways and some local roads for HGVs over 3.5 tonnes of total towing capacity. This new electronic system replaces the Eurovignette in Belgium. The mandatory toll was expanded to articulated lorries of class N1/BC in early 2018.

In addition to the nationwide toll, a usage fee is also levied on the Liefkenshoektunnel. The tunnel operator decides who is subject to the toll and which factors determine the fee.

The Belgian toll system

How the nationwide toll is levied

The Viapass toll system is an electronic system with GNSS technology. Tolls are calculated by locating the on-board unit and reconciling this information with the applicable fee model. Some of the factors that impact the fee are the gross weight and the emission class of the corresponding vehicle. The fees also vary throughout the different regions in Belgium.

Here is an overview of the fees in the different regions of Belgium:

Three different control systems are used for verification:

Bear in mind
Belgium levies heavy fines for failure to settle tolls. Always make sure that the on-board unit in your HGV is working flawlessly and that you use the accessories for your OBU without fail!

As a UTA customer, you can get extensive additional information in the UTA customer portal on how to avoid fines.
