In Brief

President Karol Nawrocki signed a law exempting passenger cars with trailers from national road tolls. The change takes effect 60 days after publication.

Poland's President Karol Nawrocki has signed an amendment to the Public Roads Act that abolishes tolls on national roads for passenger cars and light vans towing trailers (including camper, boat and car transporter trailers) for private purposes. Previously, a fee was charged if the combined weight of the vehicle combination exceeded 3.5 tonnes; now only the weight of the towing vehicle will matter.

The change takes effect 60 days after publication in the Dziennik Ustaw, tentatively in the second half of September 2026. The 500-zloty fine for non-payment for such drivers is abolished, leaving only the 1500-zloty fine for trucks and buses. e-TOLL rates for these vehicles previously ranged from 0.20 to 0.65 zloty per kilometre.

The law also expands the list of offences leading to a five-year driving ban: from 30 March 2026, police will be obliged to confiscate licences for three months for drifting or riding on one wheel, and ignoring this ban will result in an administrative five-year ban. It also expands the powers of industry competence centres for driver training.

Poland's Senate voted 78-1 to approve a bill that waives tolls on national roads for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles towing trailers (caravan, boat, flatbed) for private use. Currently, the fee applies when the combined weight exceeds 3.5 tonnes; under the new rules, only the towing vehicle's weight will matter. The bill also grants industry training centers authority to run courses for professional drivers and introduces stricter penalties for intentional drifting.

A caravan caught fire on a private plot in Dłużyna (Włoszakowice commune). During extinguishing, two gas cylinders exploded. Six fire brigades arrived. At the site, firefighters found over a dozen camping gas cylinders and several 11 kg cylinders. Two caravans and nearby equipment, tools, and engines were burned or damaged. Losses estimated at about 20,000 zlotys. Preliminary findings suggest improper use of electrical devices and installations as the likely cause. No one was injured.

Polish manufacturer Flexicube has unveiled the Hermitainer, a container-based tiny house with a slide-out section, which the company claims is the world's only such model. When transported, it measures 12 meters in length and 2.5 meters in width; after hydraulic extension, the width increases to nearly 5 meters. The model features a 800-liter fresh water tank, a photovoltaic system, and a 5 kW diesel generator. Prices start at around 400,000 euros, with final costs depending on custom specifications. The Hermitainer was exhibited at the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf.

Curb weight is 1,640 kg, gross vehicle weight is 2,740 kg. Starting price is €25,000.

Niewiadow presented the N-Venture 2026 model at the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf — an off-road caravan measuring 3.94 meters in length and 2 meters in width, weighing less than 600 kg. The starting price is below €10,000, making it one of the most affordable in its segment. The caravan features independent suspension, off-road tires, a kitchen unit with a gas stove and refrigerator, and sleeping space for two. The maximum permissible weight is 1,000 kg.
