It's a charge that replaces the oil and gasoline fees currently in place
The per-kilometer charge is paid for each kilometer driven and fully replaces oil and gasoline fees. The per-kilometer charge will thus be paid for actual use of the roads, as the charge will be based upon kilometers driven instead of gasoline consumption.
The per-kilometer charge was introduced for electric, hydrogen, and plug-in hybrid vehicles in 2024, and the plan is for other vehicles to follow in 2026.
Our roads to the future
Roads to the Future is an information site concerning the implementation of a new unified system designed to charge for the use of road transport. The design and implementation of the new system is led by special purpose advisory group which operates on behalf of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Ministry of Infrastructure and the Prime Minister´s Office. The website uses data from The Icelandic Transport Authority, Statistics Iceland, the Ministry of Environment, Energy and Climate, the Icelandic Road and Coastal Administration, and the Ministry of Finance and Economic Affairs.
