A change in Hungarian law will require all motorhomes to use the e-matrica electronic toll system for the country's fee-based road network from January 1, 2026. The new rule eliminates previous payment methods for vehicles over 3.5 tons, such as using an onboard unit or purchasing a point-to-point ticket. The applicable toll category (D1 or D2) is determined by the vehicle's weight and the number of passenger seats listed in its registration document.

The European Union is changing rules to allow Category B license holders to drive heavier vehicles. The new directive permits driving alternatively powered vehicles up to 4.25 tonnes instead of 3.5 tonnes and provides for obtaining additional authorization to drive heavy motorhomes after specific training. EU member states have four years to transpose these rules into national law.

On June 25, 2026, a German-registered Citroen motorhome caused a collision with a Toyota van at the Keléd junction on Route 84. The motorhome driver, a middle-aged man, failed to stop at a stop sign and pulled onto the main road without yielding to the van approaching from the Sümeg direction. The van struck the motorhome's left rear wheel, causing it to roll into a ditch at the edge of a poppy field. The van driver, a woman, sustained minor injuries and was taken to Markusovszky Hospital in Szombathely; the couple in the motorhome and their dog were unharmed. One lane was closed during the investigation and recovery, but no major traffic jams occurred.

Member states have 30 months to transpose the directives into national law and 42 months for full implementation.
