Optimization of Fleet Composition under Kilometer-Based Truck Toll
Starting July 2026, the Netherlands will introduce a kilometer-based truck toll on most highways and selected provincial roads. The toll will vary based on vehicle weight and CO2 emission class, creating a direct financial incentive for transport companies to rethink their fleet strategies. This policy aims to reduce emissions and encourage cleaner technologies, but it also introduces new complexity in operational decision-
making. Companies must now balance cost efficiency, environmental impact, and logistical performance when selecting vehicle types and planning routes. Additionally,
the toll may influence the viability of alternative distribution models, such as microhubs in urban areas.
This research aims to design and implement an optimization framework that determines the optimal fleet composition and routing strategy under kilometer-based tolling,
considering cost, CO2 emissions, and load capacity.
