In short: Norway has no vignette and no network-wide per-kilometre toll. Instead, trucks pay at individual AutoPASS toll stations, read by tag or number-plate camera. Every vehicle over 3,500 kg maximum authorised mass used commercially – Norwegian or foreign – must carry an AutoPASS tag with a valid agreement, or face a NOK 8,000 fine. In Oslo, a Euro VI truck pays NOK 109 per passage in 2026, or NOK 162 at rush hour.
How the system works
Norway funds roads, bridges, tunnels and urban packages through many separate toll projects, all collected through the common AutoPASS system. Stations are free-flow with cameras; the tag on the windscreen is read as you pass. Each project sets its own rates, so there is no national cent-per-kilometre figure.
Vehicles without an AutoPASS agreement are photographed and invoiced by number plate. Foreign-registered vehicles are invoiced by Euro Parking Collection plc (EPC); according to EPC, an invoice not paid on time incurs an extra NOK 300.
Rate groups for 3.5 t, 7.5 t and 40 t
The deciding factor is maximum authorised mass:
| Vehicle | Rate group | Tag mandatory? | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Van up to 3.5 t | Group 1 (≤ 3,500 kg) | no | 20% discount with an AutoPASS agreement |
| 7.5 t truck | Group 2 (> 3,500 kg) | yes, if used commercially | rate by Euro class |
| 40 t articulated truck | Group 2 (> 3,500 kg) | yes, if used commercially | rate by Euro class |
Group 2 rates distinguish zero-emission vehicles, plug-in hybrids, Euro VI and pre-Euro VI. AutoPASS describes the 20% agreement discount for Group 1; for Group 2 it only mentions discounts of 30–100% for zero-emission vehicles.
Example rates: Oslo (Fjellinjen), valid from 1 January 2026
Most truck trips to Norway end in or around Oslo. Fjellinjen charges the same price at all its stations (Inner Ring, Oslo Ring and City Border):
| Vehicle / powertrain | Off-peak | Rush hour |
|---|---|---|
| Group 2, Euro V and older | NOK 161 | NOK 223 |
| Group 2, Euro 6 | NOK 109 | NOK 162 |
| Group 2, zero-emission | NOK 0 | NOK 0 |
| Group 2, gas | NOK 0 | NOK 0 |
| Group 1, diesel (van) | NOK 42 | NOK 50 |
Rush hour is 06:30–09:00 and 15:00–17:00, not at weekends, on public holidays or in July. The Inner Ring and Oslo Ring charge in both directions; the City Border charges only inbound. Under the one-hour rule you pay for one crossing per hour on the Inner Ring and Oslo Ring, and one per hour on the City Border.
VAT: according to the toll company Vegfinans, there is no VAT at Norwegian toll stations – only on ferry routes paid with AutoPASS.
Mandatory AutoPASS tag above 3.5 t
According to the Norwegian Public Roads Administration (Statens vegvesen), every vehicle over 3,500 kg maximum authorised mass registered to a business or used commercially must have a toll tag and a valid user agreement. This applies to Norwegian and foreign vehicles. Privately used motorhomes, among others, are exempt.
How to get one:
- Sign an agreement online with an approved issuer; Fjellinjen lists Flyt, Fremtind Service, SkyttelPASS, Tolltickets, ØresundPAY and Ayvens.
- Collect the tag at border customs stations (e.g. Svinesund or Ørje) or on cross-border ferries.
- The tag is only valid once the agreement links its number to the vehicle's registration.
Fines and enforcement
The police, Norwegian Customs and the Public Roads Administration check at random and during roadside inspections that the tag is fitted and registered to the correct plate.
| Offence | Amount |
|---|---|
| First offence (no valid tag) | NOK 8,000 |
| Repeat within two years | NOK 16,000 |
| Paid after the three-week deadline | +50% (NOK 12,000 or 24,000) |
This overview is not legal advice.
Ferries with AutoPASS
According to AutoPASS for ferry, the tag is read on many domestic ferries. A valid tag gives a 10% discount; a prepayment agreement gives business customers 40%. The prepayment depends on vehicle length: NOK 9,900 for 8.01–17.50 m and NOK 18,700 above 17.51 m. Vehicles over 3,501 kg with a trailer are classed by their longest length.
Worked example: 40 t Euro VI articulated truck delivering in Oslo
A Euro VI truck enters Oslo across the City Border at 07:40 on a weekday, passes the Oslo Ring within the same hour, unloads and leaves across the Oslo Ring at 12:30:
| Passage | Time | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| City Border, inbound | rush hour | NOK 162 |
| Oslo Ring, inbound | rush hour | NOK 162 |
| Oslo Ring, outbound | off-peak | NOK 109 |
| City Border, outbound | – | not charged |
| Oslo total | NOK 433 |
A 7.5 t Euro VI truck pays the same Group 2 rate in Oslo. A diesel van up to 3.5 t would pay 50 + 50 + 42 = NOK 142 on the same trip, 20% less with an AutoPASS agreement. Other stations on the approach (E6, city packages) add their own rates.
Tolls are only part of the cost; see truck cost per km for fuel, driver and fixed costs. For the transit countries see Sweden truck toll 2026 and Denmark truck toll.
