Electronic Tolling Europe Study 2023
PTOLEMUS’ latest study finds that the Electronic Tolling market will grow to €85 billion by 2032
Since the publication of the 3rd edition of our Electronic Tolling Global Study, the European toll collection landscape has changed radically, as a few examples show:
- The long awaited EETS and Eurovignette directives have been adopted, which will make the EU the most sophisticated road charging market in the world;
- Poland and Bulgaria launched their satellite tolling schemes for trucks;
- Germany just decided to implement CO2 emission surcharges and to double its truck toll;
- Denmark decided to launch a GNSS-based RUC system by 2025;
- Stockholm announced a ban on ICE vehicles in the city centre from 2025;
- Lithuania tendered a smartphone-based RUC system for Heavy Goods Vehicles;
- Milan announced that it will ban cars from the city centre in 2024;
- Slovakia selected the supplier for its new ETC back office platform;
- London expanded its Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) to cover all boroughs;
- In France, several concessionaires announced a transition towards Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF).
In this report, PTOLEMUS investigates the current state of the tolling market in 28 countries and predicts its future evolution until 2032.
Based on this bottom-up analysis of the 28 countries, PTOLEMUS forecasts that the ETC market will count 120 million subscribers in 2032.
During the 10-year period, tolling will bring a cumulative €750 billion market to governments and concessionaires, 80% of which will be derived from electronic tolling.
To create this 550-page analysis of the European road charging landscape, PTOLEMUS leveraged:
- 12 years of constant ETC market surveillance
- Over 30 interviews with key stakeholders
- 8 months of market research, analysis, modeling & forecasting by a team of 8 consultants
- The expertise gained from 52 strategy consulting assignments in ETC
The most comprehensive study on the electronic tolling market in Europe ever written, it includes:
- An in-depth qualitative & quantitative assessment of 27 countries:

|
- A detailed analysis of the most relevant regulations and their impact on the European tolling market including:
- The move towards ETC services interoperability in Europe (EETS)
- The implementation of cross-border enforcement (CBE)
- The new framework to apply environmental charging, i.e. the taxation on CO2 emissions as well as air and noise pollution
- The new rules to implement congestion charging (CC) in urban areas
- The detailed roadmap of implementation of the different provisions between 2023 and 2032
- The unexpected impacts of GDPR rules on the tolling business
- A comparative assessment of tolling technologies authorised in Europe:
- Deployment models and impacting trends for ANPR, DSRC and GNSS
- Potential future for CV2X
- Status of their standardisation at CEN, ISO and ETSI
- Applicability to road charging and enforcement and comparative level of efficiency
- Assessment of emerging On-Board Unit (OBU) models including fleet telematics devices, smartphone apps, and connected vehicle payments
- An evaluation of road pricing models now authorised in the EU:
- Time-based charging e.g. vignettes and e-vignettes
- Distance-based charging e.g. plaza-based tolling, AET, MLFF, RUC
- City-level schemes: Access Control (AC) areas, Low Emission Zones (LEZs), Congestion Charging (CC) schemes
- 2020-2032 electronic tolling roadmaps, by country and vehicle category, including:
- Forecast technology roadmaps: ANPR, DSRC and GNSS
- Expected evolution of the toll domain in each country
- Expected evolution of the field of application of tolling / RUC schemes on the different vehicle categories
