Cost per kilometre
Since the introduction of the Dutch truck charge (vrachtwagenheffing), the charge per kilometre has been a fixed item in the cost price of a truck. Together with fuel or electricity it determines the variable cost per kilometre.

Fuel per km
At 30 litres of diesel per 100 km, consumption is 0.3 litres per km; multiply that by the diesel price excluding VAT. Tolmijden uses the CBS average by default. Electric at 130 kWh per 100 km and € 0.50 per kWh is € 0.65 per km.
Per trip is more precise
Because the charge only applies to part of the route, Tolmijden calculates per trip. See transport costs per trip.
