Extended driving bans at weekends and spontaneous all-day closures for trucks on weekdays: In the next two years, truck drivers will have to prepare for enormous obstructions on the Tauern motorway from Salzburg to Villach. Transit traffic is likely to be the main victim of the tunnel work.
From this week on, there are some new products to discover in our shop: the sticker "VI" - "EURO VI safe vehicle" and the sticker "L" - "Low noise vehicle" mark vehicles with special rights and help for example at border crossings. For some time now, we have also been offering the "Angles Morts" sticker. This is mandatory in France for marking vehicles with blind spots.
The truck sector is to become climate neutral! Manufacturers described the EU decision of Monday, 16 October, which sets the roadmap for the decarbonisation of trucks in the EU, as "very ambitious". They criticise that the EU must also create the framework conditions so that decarbonisation can succeed.
After fierce opposition, there will be no low emission zone with a ban on internal combustion vehicles in Stockholm's old town. Instead, parking spaces are to disappear, traffic is to be reduced overall and the focus is to be on reclaiming walking and cycling.
Since yesterday, 16.10.2023, the Mont Blanc Tunnel has been completely closed to traffic for 2 months. Drivers must be prepared for long detours and traffic jams.
New in the Green Zones Shop! As of today, you can order your registration to enter many of the UK's Green Zones from our shop! Older vehicles of various vehicle categories are affected. Partly also passenger cars and motorhomes! Registrations for past entries into the low emission zones are also possible. Unfortunately, you will have to wait a little longer for registrations for London, but these will also be available soon!
Since the beginning of 2020, many trucks are no longer allowed to drive through Tyrol in Austria, even though they comply with the latest Euro standard. However, vehicles travelling to and from Tyrol are not affected by the ban. This is unequal treatment, for which Italy now wants to take legal action.
The future of the automobile lies in alternative drive systems. They should not only contribute to climate protection, but also make the air in cities cleaner. But since the vehicles are usually much heavier than conventional combustion engines, they produce more and more particulate matter. So the air in the cities could get worse again - and there could be new environmental zones.
The pilot project for the electrification of truck traffic in Germany has failed. Experts had doubted the German government's plan from the very beginning. The government ignored the warning cries and made a massive miscalculation.
Starting this year, entering many French cities can be expensive for motorists. This is because more and more traffic offenders are being caught in the environmental zones due to automatic radar checks.
