In Brief
Dutch authorities confirmed that from July 1, 2026, motorhomes, including models over 3.5 tonnes, will not be subject to the new road toll for trucks. The system automatically distinguishes commercial vehicles from private motorhomes.
The new kilometer-based toll for trucks in the Netherlands, effective July 1, 2026, will not apply to motorhomes. Authorities confirmed that the system automatically identifies commercial trucks, so motorhome owners do not need registration or additional equipment.
The exemption includes models with a permissible mass over 3.5 tonnes. However, on the A24 toll motorway and soon on a new road near Arnhem, tolls apply to all vehicles. The decision alleviates concerns among motorhome owners about extra costs and bureaucracy.

Motorhome owners can breathe a sigh of relief regarding new Dutch road charges. Starting July 1, 2026, a distance-based toll for heavy goods vehicles will be introduced, but motorhomes, even those over 3.5 tonnes, are explicitly exempt. The system automatically distinguishes between commercial trucks and private motorhomes, so no registration or onboard unit is required for the latter.

Dutch outdoor magazine ACSI freelife magazine conducted a comparative towing test of the new Mazda CX-5, CX-60, CX-80, and MAZDA6e. The CX-5 was rated best in price-to-performance, but for trailers over 1,650 kg the CX-60 or CX-80 are recommended. The CX-80 offered the highest stability due to its longer wheelbase and higher weight. The MAZDA6e, the only EV in the test, showed strong low-end torque but its range dropped by nearly half.
