The trial focuses on the two largest cities in Denmark, where congestion, road safety and health are the biggest challenges. Therefore, we are primarily testing both minute- and kilometre-based charges in Aarhus and Copenhagen and surrounding suburbs.
In the rest of the country, we are testing kilometre-based charges, including the suburbs of Odense and Aalborg.
The trial participants will test different charging systems and geographies. Therefore, some trial participants will only test in suburbs and city centres in Copenhagen, while others will test in the entire country. The driving budget of the trial participants will be adjusted according to their driving patterns and number of charging zones.
Aarhus
There will be two charging zones in Aarhus:
- Aarhus City: Higher charge on weekdays between 7-9 a.m. and 3-5 p.m.
- Aarhus Suburb: Higher charge on weekdays between 7-9 a.m. and 3-5 p.m. In Aarhus Suburb, both a time- and kilometre-based solution will be tested.

Copenhagen
There will be two charging zones in Copenhagen:
- Copenhagen City: Higher charge on weekdays between 7-9 a.m. and 3-6 p.m.
- Copenhagen Suburbs: Higher charge on weekdays between 7-9 a.m. and 3-6 p.m. In Copenhagen Suburb, both a time- and kilometre-based solution is being tested.

The rest of the country
There will be charging zones in Odense and Aalborg and their suburbs with the same charge levels as Copenhagen and Aarhus. In addition, there will be a zone for the whole country, where the charge is lower than in the four cities and their suburbs. Throughout the country, the charge will be higher on weekdays between 7-9 a.m. and 3-5 p.m.
