Hungary simplifies toll payment system for heavy motorhomes

As of January 1, 2026, Hungary has changed its road toll rules for motorhomes. Vehicles with a maximum authorized mass over 3500 kg have been moved from the truck category to the D2 category, eliminating the need for complex on-board units. They now only require an e-vignette, purchased online, similar to lighter motorhomes.

A motorhome was completely destroyed by fire in the yard of a family home in Mogyoród. The fire also threatened a nearby residential building, but professional firefighters from Gödöllő contained and extinguished the blaze.
