More than 1,300 violations were recorded in Ukraine, resulting in fines totaling more than ₴19 million

During the first five months of 2026, automatic weigh-in-motion (WIM) systems for freight vehicles recorded 1,388 violations totaling 19.2 million UAH.

The average fine was 13,800 UAH.

WIM (Weigh-in-Motion) is a technology that automatically weighs trucks while they are in motion without stopping them. The system records the vehicle’s weight and parameters as it passes through a special station.

Its main goal is to reduce the number of overloaded trucks, which damage road surfaces, place additional strain on bridges, and increase the risk of traffic accidents.

WIM complexes began operating in Ukraine in October 2021. The system immediately demonstrated strong results: 3,932 citations in December 2021 and 3,728 citations in January 2022.

Later, the number of violations began to decline.

In 2026, WIM violations decreased significantly compared to previous years. For comparison: in 2025, there were about 5,800 citations for the year; in 2023, a record 12,993 citations totaling 196.2 million UAH

July 2023 was the peak month, with 2,859 violations recorded.

The average monthly figure in 2026 is approximately 280 citations, whereas in 2025 it was about 480.

Despite the decrease in the number of violations, the average fine in 2026 rose to 13.8 thousand UAH (compared to 13.1 thousand UAH in 2025).

For comparison: 2021—about 22,000 UAH; 2022—20,300 UAH

In 2026, the highest number of violations was recorded in:

• Dnipropetrovsk Oblast—181 rulings (2.75 million UAH)
• Vinnytsia Oblast — 159 rulings (2.17 million UAH)
• Poltava Oblast — 155 rulings (2.24 million UAH)

The highest average fine was in Kirovohrad Oblast—about 20,000 UAH, and Lviv Oblast—about 19,000 UAH

Currently, there are 62 WIM complexes operating in Ukraine, with the largest number located in Kyiv Oblast (8 stations).

Experts note that the decrease in the number of fines may be due to both carriers’ compliance with weight limits and changes in logistics routes during the war.

At the same time, the WIM system remains a key control tool that makes overloading trucks less profitable and more risky, while also helping to protect Ukraine’s road infrastructure.
