EasyGo was
Europe's first
commercial cross-border toll collection service. Initial discussions began in 2004, when the
Svinesund Bridge between Norway and Sweden was being built. The
Norwegian Public Roads Administration and the
Swedish Transport Agency, together with Sund & Bælt (operator of the
Great Belt Fixed Link) and Øresundsbro Konsortiet (Danish/Swedish joint venture, operator of the
Øresund Bridge), established EasyGo in 2007. Austrian
ASFiNAG joined the partnership in 2009. All existing systems implemented in the
Nordic countries by 2007 (
AutoPASS and
BroBizz) are included, and no revision of the
laws in the countries was required. EasyGo countries have four different
currencies and variable
VAT levels. Few of the Norwegian AutoPass providers were EETS providers, and most AutoPASS consequently could not be used at Storebælt. The Norwegian AutoPass providers SkyttelPASS, Flyt and Fremtind Service have since been EETS-registered. In December 2021, the
Norwegian Public Roads Administration withdrew from EasyGo starting a transition period until 31 March 2022. AutoPASS providers need to be EETS-registered and approved by the operators in order for the OBE to be valid in those toll facilities after the transition period ends. == EasyGo Basic ==
