Low Emission Zone
Do I need stickers or registrations?
No. Here you do not need to buy a sticker or apply for registration. You only have to follow the rules of entry.
Our Green-Zones App helps you to avoid penalties.



How do I recognize the low emission zone?
Unfortunately there are no exact street signs known. Therefore it is difficult to know when you are in the environmental zone.

More environmental zones and driving bans thanks to e-cars?
In order to achieve the EU's climate goals, the EU is promoting the sale of e-cars enormously. And they also want to enforce their goal with stricter regulations for combustion cars.
New EU rules - Europe-wide driving bans for coaches?
The EU's new proposals are so strict that they will not promote climate-friendly bus transport, but will effectively ban it. If more cars are used for long-distance travel again, even low emission zones on motorways are conceivable.
E-cars: Particulate matter emissions higher than those of combustion engines
Electric cars produce almost as much particulate matter as combustion engines, yet they are not regulated. The increase in the number of electric cars could therefore soon lead to a deterioration in air quality and new driving bans for combustion engines.
Driving bans in the Netherlands: Extension and tightening of rules in many cities
In the fight against air pollution and congestion, many low emission zones are being extended and more and more cars are now prohibited from entering them.
Driving bans in France: increase up to 1800% expected!
Paris 83 instead of 10, Marseille 89 instead of 5, Lyon 108 instead of 14. This is how many days with temporary driving bans will be in France from 2021.
Brussels Low Emission Zone: Penalties are illegal! Who gets their money back?
A complaint classifies the exemption for lorries in the Brussels low emission zone as discriminatory and could mean the end of the low emission zone. The city would then have to pay back all fines and day passes to the citizens.
Munich: 110 million euros to avoid diesel bans
A 365-euro ticket for public transport will improve the air in the Bavarian capital. It is unclear whether this expensive measure can really avert the unwelcome driving bans.
Asthma death from air pollution?
A London court is to decide whether the asthma death of a 9-year-old is directly attributable to excessive air pollution. The case could become a precedent with huge implications for environmental zones and driving bans.
Range test: petrol and public transport are significantly more expensive than diesel and electric
Which means of transport will get us the furthest for our money? A test shows why diesel vehicles are still so popular and that public transport is not an alternative for many people.
Barcelona bans all vehicles by 2030
The Spanish metropolis is to become completely car-free in 10 years. This would give the city the strictest environmental zone in Europe.
