Romania Introduces TollRo for Trucks Over 3.5 Tons on October 1

Romania is introducing a new road toll system, TollRo, from 1 October

From 1 October 2026, Romania will introduce the new TollRo road toll system for lorries with a maximum authorised mass of over 3.5 tonnes. The new system will replace the rovinieta for heavy goods vehicles and relevant mixed-use vehicles, including international hauliers from Moldova.

The toll amount will depend on the vehicle’s authorised maximum mass, its EURO emission class and the actual distance travelled on Romania’s road network, according to a statement from the National Road Transport Agency (ANTA).

How much will lorries pay?

For vehicles weighing between 3.5 and 7.5 tonnes, the TollRo tariff on motorways and expressways will range from 0.17 to 0.22 RON per kilometre, depending on the emissions class. On national roads, the rate will range from 0.08 to 0.11 RON per kilometre.

For vehicles weighing more than 7.5 but less than 12 tonnes, the rate will be 0.29–0.37 RON per kilometre on motorways and expressways and 0.14–0.19 RON on national roads.

For the heaviest category – vehicles with a maximum authorised mass of 12 tonnes or more – the rate will be 0.48–0.62 RON per kilometre on motorways and expressways, and 0.24–0.31 RON on national roads.

How TollRo will work

The Romanian National Road Transport Agency (ANTA) has announced that hauliers will be able to pay road tolls in several ways.

The first option is an electronic post-payment toll system. To use this, the haulier enters into a contract with one of the service providers authorised by the Romanian National Road Infrastructure Management Company (CNAIR). The distance travelled will be automatically recorded using on-board equipment (OBE).

The second option is the TollRo pre-paid route ticket. This confirms payment of the road toll for a single journey by a specific vehicle along a pre-defined route and within a specified period.

The third option is the TollRo mobile app, launched by CNAIR. To use it whilst travelling, you will need a working mobile phone, an internet connection and geolocation enabled.

For hauliers, this means that before the new system comes into operation, they must select a payment method and ensure that their vehicle and route are correctly registered.

The rovinieta will remain in place for light vehicles

However, the rovinieta is not being completely abolished. It will continue to apply to vehicles intended for passenger transport, as well as to goods vehicles with a maximum authorised mass of up to 3.5 tonnes.

Consequently, from 1 October, the road toll system in Romania will depend not only on the vehicle category but also on the actual distance travelled for heavy goods vehicles.

For Moldovan international hauliers, this change means they will need to take the new toll system into account when planning journeys through Romania.

Detailed information on the TollRo system, the road network covered, payment methods and available service channels is available on Romania’s official eToll portal.
