New tariffs for kilometer charge from 1 January 2021

Brussels, 7 October 2020 – From 1 January 2021, an adjustment will be applied to the tariffs for the kilometer charge in Wallonia. This is an index adjustment. The tariffs apply to all Belgian and foreign heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) with a maximum permitted weight of more than 3.5 tons and semi-trailer towing vehicles of category N1 with body code BC.

Earlier this year, Flanders and Brussels adjusted their tariffs for the kilometer charge. These tariffs have been in force since 1 July 2020. The three regions can adjust their tariffs and the roads subject to tolls annually on 1 July and 1 January. There will be no changes to the road network subject to tolls on 1 January 2021.

The OBU (On Board Unit) software of the six service providers that are accredited for the kilometer charge in Belgium will be automatically updated with the new tariffs that apply in Wallonia from 1 January. The six service providers are currently Axxès, Eurotoll, Satellic, Telepass, Toll4Europe and Total Marketing Services.

On 1 January, the new tariffs will be available for consultation on the download page of the Viapass website. You can already consult the tariffs that are valid from 1 January 2021 here.
