Sweden is part of the network of countries that use the Eurovignette, which means purchasing this toll payment vignette is mandatory in order to operate heavy goods vehicles on its roads. The toll system is used to help recover the costs of road construction, as well as for maintenance and operation of the country's road infrastructure.
All truck drivers, including foreigners and Swedish nationals, who operate vehicles that weigh 12 or more tons, must pay this motorway toll. It is also obligatory in the Netherlands, Denmark, and Luxembourg; however, if you travel through multiple countries mandating the vignette, a single purchase will suffice.
A Sweden Eurovignette is a road user charge that trucks and heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) with a gross weight of at least 12 tons must pay to use the motorways and highways. It is an electronic payment method that replaced a paper-vignette system in 2008 with the charges contributing to the maintenance of Sweden's road system, helping to minimise environmental pollution and enhance traffic efficiency.
You can buy a single Eurovignette for Sweden and it will allow you to use it across the roadways of all four countries for which it is mandatory.

When purchasing a one-day Eurovignette, keep in mind that it must be booked before the start of your trip, and it will be valid for one calendar day. The price is automatically calculated based on the duration of the vignette and other factors. It is typically cheaper to buy one Eurovignette of a longer duration rather than several vignettes of shorter duration (for example buying a weekly vignette rather than three daily vignettes).
Eurovignettes are mandatory for operating heavy goods vehicles weighing 12 or more tons on all Swedish roadways. The network of national roads covers more than 5,500 miles with the section of the E4 motorway passing through western Stockholm its busiest.
You must also take into account other tolls such as the Öresund Bridge toll, which can be paid at toll stations along the bridge. The Sundsvall and Motala bridges are also subject to tolls.
In Sweden, the Swedish Transport Agency (Transportstyrelsen) manages and monitors tolls. Mobile inspectors and cameras check to see if a Eurovignette is in the system for a particular vehicle. If a violation is detected, a penalty notice is issued which can range from approximately €28 for a late payment to several hundred euros or more.
