Smart MobilityITIS Holding companies successfully deliver truck observation systems for the new Dutch truck toll
The project supports the launch of the new Dutch truck toll on 1 July 2026. From that date, trucks operating in the Netherlands must use a functioning on-board unit, and compliance will be checked through an enforcement and observation system. The solution delivered by VITRONIC and SkyToll helps RDW verify that passing trucks are equipped with operational and correctly configured OBUs.
Successful delivery in the Netherlands is an important milestone for ITIS Holding. It shows in practice what our strategy is about: bringing together complementary technologies, operational know-how and implementation capabilities from across the group to deliver complex intelligent traffic infrastructure projects for public-sector clients. VITRONIC’s long-standing expertise in traffic enforcement and machine vision, combined with SkyToll’s proven experience in tolling back-office and operations, creates a strong platform for further growth in Europe and beyond.”
VITRONIC, as the contract holder, supplied and installed the observation systems, software and core data collection components for the Dutch truck toll enforcement scheme. The solution includes automatic licence plate recognition cameras, DSRC antennas to read OBU settings, and image recognition software for truck identification and classification.
SkyToll, acting as a subcontractor to VITRONIC, was responsible for the configuration and delivery of key back-office components, the setup and operation of the required data centre and data communications, and the provision of defined services during both implementation and operations. SkyToll will also operate the movable observation systems after the launch of the Dutch truck toll. To support its long-term role in the Netherlands, SkyToll has established a dedicated local entity, SkyToll B.V., based in Amsterdam.
The Netherlands project confirms the ability of ITIS Holding companies to deliver end-to-end solutions across the road user charging value chain – from roadside technology and vehicle identification to back-office processing, data services and long-term operational support. It also strengthens ITIS Holding’s position as a provider of technologically neutral, scalable and reliable solutions for tolling, enforcement and intelligent transport infrastructure.
