New CO₂ road tax in Flanders: a strategic challenge for warehouses and distribution hubs

Flanders is set to significantly increase its kilometer tax for heavy goods vehicles by adding a CO2 component, effective July 1, 2026. This move, expected to boost annual revenues by €180 million, will directly impact logistics costs for businesses operating or distributing within the region. Understanding these changes is crucial for strategic planning, especially for those involved in warehousing and supply chain management.
