Why PUESC and e-TOLL are a legal obligation, not an option

Poland is a key transit and destination market for thousands of foreign carriers — Ukrainian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Estonian, Romanian, Bulgarian, German and others. Polish law requires automatic position transmission for the transport of sensitive goods (PUESC SENT-GEO) and for road tolls (e-TOLL for vehicles over 3.5 t). Violations carry fines of 10,000 to 100,000 PLN — and sometimes cargo seizure.

Protection from fines

The platform automatically logs transmission status. If transmission was active and the data was delivered — you have technical proof for inspections.

Who needs PUESC and e-TOLL

Not every trip to Poland falls under SENT, but it's easier not to make mistakes with a system that covers every scenario in advance. Whether you're based in Kyiv, Vilnius, Riga, Tallinn, Bucharest, Sofia or Berlin — the same Polish rules apply.

priority_high Mandatory under SENT-GEO

Fuel transport (petrol, diesel, LPG)
Ethyl alcohol and alcohol products
Tobacco products and dried tobacco
Vegetable oils (specific categories)
Some categories of fertilisers and chemicals
Transit of these goods through Poland

local_shipping Mandatory under e-TOLL

Trucks and tractor units over 3.5 t (GVW)
Buses with more than 9 passenger seats
Use of Polish toll roads (S, A — part of the network)
Border crossings
Any transit to/from Western Europe through PL

The exact list of goods and road sections is defined by Polish legislation and is periodically updated. Before each trip, check the current list on the official portals puesc.gov.pl and etoll.gov.pl.

How it works, step by step

cloudGPS is a server-based platform. Tracker installation and Polish portal registration you do yourself (or via partners) — we provide guides in your language and technical support.

Tracker installation

A GPS tracker (Teltonika, Bitrek or other compatible) is installed by a certified installer — yours or from our partner network. The tracker can be installed in your home country; nothing Poland-specific is required. One tracker covers monitoring, PUESC and e-TOLL.

PUESC and e-TOLL registration

As the carrier, you create an account at puesc.gov.pl and etoll.gov.pl, add your vehicles and select cloudGPS as the OUL/ZSL provider. We have step-by-step guides translated into all major carrier languages.

Activation in the cloudGPS dashboard

In the cloudGPS panel you enable transmission to SENT-GEO and/or e-TOLL for a specific vehicle. Transmission is active only when needed — saves traffic and doesn't "expose" empty trips.

The vehicle drives — data flies

Coordinates automatically reach Polish systems in the correct format and frequency. Transmission status is visible in the dashboard, events are logged — for subsequent inspections.

cloudGPS vs alternatives

Foreign carriers operating in Poland usually have three options: buy a Polish OBU, use a Polish operator's platform, or connect cloudGPS — already registered in Poland and operating in multiple languages.

Parameter	cloudGPS	Polish OBU	Polish operator platform
Registered with PUESC/e-TOLL	Yes	Yes	Yes
Multi-language interface	EN, UK, RU, PL, ET	No	Polish only
Additional hardware purchase	Not required	~500 PLN/unit	Usually operator's own OBU
Technical support in your language	Yes	No	No
Other monitoring features (fuel, routes, reports)	Full package	Toll payment only	Basic monitoring
Fuel control with drain detection	Yes (FuelAnalyzer)	No	Usually no
Per-trip PUESC activation/deactivation	One click	Always on	Usually always on

Frequently asked questions from foreign carriers

The most common questions about PUESC, e-TOLL and working through cloudGPS — regardless of which country your vehicles are registered in.

What is PUESC and how is it different from e-TOLL?

PUESC (Platforma Usług Elektronicznych Skarbowo-Celnych) is a Polish state portal for customs and tax procedures. SENT-GEO within PUESC is a system for automatic position monitoring during the transport of sensitive goods (fuel, alcohol, tobacco, fertilisers). Data goes to Polish fiscal services. e-TOLL is a separate system for paying tolls on Polish roads for vehicles over 3.5 t. cloudGPS covers both requirements from a single tracker.

Does this work for our country, or only for Ukrainian carriers?

It works for any foreign carrier operating in Poland. The Polish PUESC and e-TOLL rules apply identically to vehicles registered in Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Romania, Bulgaria, Germany or anywhere else. The only requirements are: a Polish PUESC/e-TOLL carrier account (you create it as the operating carrier) and an OUL/ZSL provider (this is cloudGPS).

Can we really skip buying a Polish OBU?

Yes. cloudGPS is officially registered as a ZSL (Zewnętrzny System Lokalizacyjny) provider for e-TOLL and as an OUL for PUESC. Polish state systems accept data from our server in the same way as from OBU. This is a fully legal route — used by hundreds of European platforms.

Which trackers are supported?

We support 50+ models: Teltonika (FMB920, FMB130, FMC130, FMC650, FMC880), Bitrek (BI 530R, 810, 910), as well as all devices with Wialon Retranslator and Teltonika Codec 8/8E protocols. If you already have a fleet on another platform — we migrate without hardware replacement.

How quickly can we start driving with cloudGPS?

Tracker connection to cloudGPS — 1 business day. Registration at puesc.gov.pl and etoll.gov.pl usually takes 3-7 business days (depends on the Polish authorities, not us). With our step-by-step guides, applications can be submitted within half a day.

How much does it cost?

cloudGPS is a monthly subscription to the platform (depends on the number of vehicles and features). Registration with PUESC and e-TOLL is free on the side of the Polish authorities. You save on the OBU purchase (~500 PLN/unit) and Polish subscription maintenance. Contact us — we'll prepare an exact quote for your fleet.

What if data transmission is interrupted during a trip?

cloudGPS buffers data locally on the tracker and on the server. If mobile network is lost — points are stored and re-sent after the connection is restored. Transmission status is visible in the dashboard in real time. For critical trips we additionally recommend a tracker with roaming SIM or dual-SIM.

What if Polish authorities inspect me?

You have technical proof of transmission: the log in the cloudGPS dashboard shows when transmission was active, which coordinates were sent when, and whether they were accepted by PUESC/e-TOLL. We provide a technical report on request. This is additional protection that an ordinary OBU without logging cannot offer.
