Some European cities are starting to ban certain vehicles, or limiting the times at which they may travel – France has done this with the new Crit’Air scheme, where you have to apply for a window sticker which shows your vehicles emission standard, or get fined heavily!
View our emissions standard info sheet here, to check the table reproduced from that developed by the European Commission, which shows the different Euro categories that apply to new vehicle models approved after a specific date. Every car sold up to a year after the dates below has to conform to the appropriate standards. This is really worth reading as it gives a simple but clear picture of what it all means.
If your vehicle is older than any dates listed, check with your manufacturer directly if you’re not sure.
