Check Your Car’s Year and Learn About Low Emission Zone Bans in France

It’s time to check what year your car is. For thousands of motorists, it will soon be impossible to travel with certain vehicles in this region.

With the mobility orientation law of 2019, which requires the creation of a Low Emission Zone, certain metropolises such as Grenoble, Aix-Marseille, Lyon, and even Strasbourg have been forced to ban the circulation of vehicles deemed too polluting and old. When ? During the day, weekdays, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. except public holidays, at night between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. and at weekends. A little annoying to go to work… In 2025, a very specific region wants block access to Crit’Air 3 vehicles. An ambition pointed out.

On January 1, 2025, all Crit’air 3 vehicles (diesel before 2011 and gasoline before 2006) will be prohibited from circulating in a region of France. If, for example, your car is a Peugeot 206 S16 GTI, a Renault Twingo 1 or a Renault Scenic, you are undoubtedly concerned! Faced with this upcoming ban, which will force motorists to change cars or take public transport, the State and local authorities have worked to put in place aid, a zero-interest loan and also exemptions. Thus, holders of a mobility inclusion parking card (ex-disabled), holders of a classic vehicle, of an approved civil security association or a car used infrequently will be able to drive without problem.

On the other hand, if you enter a ZFE zone it can cost you dearly because you will be in violation: from 68 euros for classic and light cars to 135 euros for heavy goods vehicles, coaches and coaches.

A region, since 2022, has been fighting to implement this ecological anti-pollution measure. Probably three years late in the end, it is the Greater Paris Metropolis – which concerns 131 municipalities and 7.2 million inhabitants – which should apply this ban next year. It seems well motivated to refuse the 700,000 Crit’Air 3 vehicles within its ZFE (Low Emission Zone) perimeter.

An ambitious promise, but the Greater Paris Metropolis will have to redouble its efforts on vehicle inspections if it wants to maintain its desire to have a 100% clean vehicle fleet by 2030!
