As of July 1, 2026, the Dutch truck toll will be introduced. For transport companies and shippers, this means one thing: costs per kilometer will increase. The market reaction is largely predictable—rates go up, surcharges follow, and discussions begin. Understandable, but also incomplete…
The focus is in the wrong place
Of course, profitability can be improved by exploring alternative fuels and optimizing routes that are taxed less. But let’s be honest—clean trucks aren’t available overnight, and route optimization often provides only temporary relief.
What if we approached the challenge from a different angle? Not cost per kilometer, but cost per pallet.
Toll is calculated per kilometer, not per pallet
Just like the German Maut, you pay per kilometer—regardless of how full your truck is. Whether you transport 1 pallet or 33 pallets, the toll per trip remains exactly the same.
Conclusion: if you continue operating with the same equipment, in the same way, and run the same number of trips, your toll costs remain unchanged. In other words—nothing really changes.
With 2WIN, the toll per trip stays the same—but the cost per pallet drops
Now is the time to rethink transport. Not just: what does a trip cost? Or what are the costs per kilometer? But: how many trips are actually needed?
That’s where the key to immediate savings and structural efficiency lies.
What works today may not be the solution for tomorrow. At Emons Cargo 2WIN, we understand this better than anyone. That’s why we help companies improve their performance with innovative transport solutions. How? By transporting 54 pallets per trip.
The result? Costs are spread across 54 pallets instead of 33—and that is always more cost-efficient.
Conclusion
The upcoming truck toll in the Netherlands will increase costs. But how big the impact will be—that’s up to you.
Will you continue focusing on cost per kilometer? Or will you explore the possibilities of 2WIN?
In that case, toll is no longer a problem—but an opportunity.
- Fewer trips, lower toll costs per pallet
- Maximum efficiency in transport capacity
- Reduced impact on people and the environment
