Road Toll Costs in Norway Increased Significantly in 2026. 

Heavy Trucks Face Nearly 30% Higher Costs

The first half of 2026 brought a significant increase in road toll costs for the Norwegian transport sector. Although road tolls in Norway are set locally and vary between regions, new data shows that companies operating heavy trucks are facing considerably higher costs than in 2025.

According to data from the first half of 2026, the average monthly road toll costs for trucks weighing more than 12 tonnes increased by 28.4% compared with the same period in 2025. For vehicles weighing between 3.5 and 12 tonnes, the increase was 25.8%.

What is interesting, the number of trips made by the heaviest vehicles remained almost unchanged. This means that the higher costs are mainly the result of increased toll rates rather than increased road usage.

One of the main reasons for these increases is the changes introduced on 1 January 2026 under the Oslopakke 3 toll system in Oslo and Akershus. For Euro 6 trucks, the toll charge for a single passage increased from NOK 62 to NOK 105 outside rush hours and from NOK 91 to NOK 157 during rush hours. In some cases, this represents an increase of around 70% per passage.

It is important to note that these increases do not affect all road users in the same way. For light commercial vehicles weighing up to 3.5 tonnes, the average increase in toll costs was only 0.1%. This shows that the changes have had the greatest impact on businesses that rely on heavy road transport.

For companies operating in Norway, rising road toll costs are becoming an increasingly important part of overall transport expenses.

Together with other factors, such as rising fuel prices and increasing operating costs, higher road tolls are likely to increase freight costs, which should be taken into account when planning transport operations and budgets for the rest of 2026.
