Payment solutions net revenue was EUR 200.4 million, and mobility solutions net revenue was EUR 129.7 million.

Eurowag was founded in 1995 by Martin Vohanka in Prague, Czech Republic. The company began as a fuel card provider for commercial transport operators in Central and Eastern Europe. At the time, the post-communist Czech Republic was developing its market economy, and commercial road transport was growing rapidly. Vohanka identified a gap in payment infrastructure for trucking companies that needed to pay for fuel across multiple countries and currencies.

In its early years, Eurowag focused on the Czech and Slovak markets, providing fuel cards that allowed trucking companies to pay for diesel at partner stations. The company expanded gradually into other Central European markets, including Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia.

The 2000s saw Eurowag expand its product range beyond fuel cards. The company added toll payment services, responding to the growing network of electronic toll systems across European highways. Eurowag also began offering vehicle maintenance and insurance products, building toward an integrated platform for commercial transport operators.

In the 2010s, Eurowag accelerated its expansion through acquisitions and geographic growth. The company expanded into Western European markets, including Germany, France, and Italy. Eurowag also invested in digital technology, developing a platform that combined its various services into a single interface for fleet managers.

In April 2019, Eurowag acquired a 70% equity interest in Sygic, a Slovak navigation software company, for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition included a predetermined put and call option mechanism on the remaining 30%. The deal was part of Eurowag's strategy to add navigation services and software to its integrated mobility platform. Sygic, founded in 2004 by Michal Stencl, had over 200 million downloads of its GPS navigation app and brought navigation technology expertise to the Eurowag group.

Eurowag went public on the London Stock Exchange in October 2021, listing under the ticker symbol EWG. The IPO was one of the largest Czech company listings on the LSE. The company became a constituent of the FTSE 250 index.

In April 2024, Eurowag completed the full acquisition of Sygic, purchasing the remaining 30% for EUR 14.4 million. The minority shareholders included QQ Capital SE (with investors including Michal Stencl, Sygic's founder) and Pasanote Capital (with investors including Jan Sameliak). Martin Strigac, former CEO of Sygic, joined Eurowag's executive team as Chief Product Officer. Stefan Janciga took over as General Manager of Sygic in 2025.

In 2025, Eurowag expanded its toll network to include Switzerland and Bulgaria, adding two newly licensed countries to its EETS (European Electronic Toll Service) solution. The company also reported strong growth in toll revenues, driven by CO2 charges, inflation, and infrastructure cost coverage in countries including Austria, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia.

For FY2025, Eurowag reported total net revenue of EUR 330.1 million, up 12.9% year over year. The company's leverage ratio was 1.9x, and it announced a special dividend of 1.5 per share. For 2026, Eurowag guided to low double-digit net revenue growth with an adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 39%.

Eurowag's sustainability strategy is focused on helping commercial transport operators transition to low-carbon energy. The company's stated purpose is to make commercial road transport "clean, fair, and efficient."

Eurowag does not have B Corp certification. Its sustainabilityFlags are empty because there are no independently verifiable certifications to report. The company has not made public net-zero or carbon neutrality commitments with specific target years.

The company's primary sustainability contribution is through its toll payment services, which support CO2-based toll charging systems that incentivize lower-emission vehicles. Eurowag's platform also helps fleet operators optimize routes and reduce fuel consumption through integrated navigation and fleet management tools.

Eurowag publishes sustainability information as part of its annual reporting, available through its investor relations website.

Eurowag has maintained a relatively clean public record. The company has not faced major regulatory fines, antitrust investigations, or significant public controversies.
