Order MTI no. 1925/2025, effective from July 1, 2026, sets the framework for TollRo rates applicable to heavy freight vehicles on Romania’s national road network (SETRE system). It implements Law no. 226/2023, approving vehicle categories and unit tolls per kilometer.
- Scope and Principles
- Applies to all freight vehicles with Maximum Authorized Mass (MTMA) > 3.5 tons.
- Key principles: non-discrimination and classification based on MTMA and EURO emission class.
- Unit toll consists of:
- Infrastructure costs: maintenance, major repairs, operations, electronic tolling;
- External costs: environmental and health impacts (vehicle emissions).
- Vehicle Categories and Rates
Category | MTMA | Road | EURO VI | EURO V-IV | EURO III-0 |
I | 3.5–7.5 t | Highways/Expressways | 0.17 | 0.19 | 0.22 |
National Roads | 0.08 | 0.10 | 0.11 | ||
II | 7.5–12 t | Highways/Expressways | 0.29 | 0.33 | 0.37 |
National Roads | 0.14 | 0.16 | 0.19 | ||
III | ≥12 t | Highways/Expressways | 0.48 | 0.55 | 0.62 |
National Roads | 0.24 | 0.28 | 0.31 |
Higher-polluting vehicles pay extra: +15% for EURO V-IV and +30% for EURO III-0, capped at double the EURO VI rate.
- Toll Updates and Ticket Management
- Tolls are updated annually in December using the Consumer Price Index (CPI), effective January 1.
- Route tickets: valid for the full period of issue even if tolls change; advance tickets are paid at the current year’s rate.
The order ensures funding for road maintenance and encourages the use of low-emission vehicles, supporting sustainable development and environmental protection.
