kevina Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 We are just about to drive through Lille so I was searching to see if the ZPA was active, its still and foggy, and stumbled upon this article. https://www.green-zones.eu/en/blog-news/motorhomes-targeted-for-excessive-exhaust-fumes The vehicles in question are recent Euro 6b models, not old.

mtravel Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Regardless of the environmental class of your vehicle, you must have and display the "Crit'air" sticker which you must request and receive in advance. It costs about 3.50 euros. See www.certificat-air.gouv.fr (site currently unavailable due to maintenance). If you may read French, see also https://www.lille.fr/Actualites/Pollution-la-vignette-Crit-Air-a-Lille Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 kevina - 2021-12-17 11:53 AM The vehicles in question are recent Euro 6b models, not old. A few years ago Promobil published results of various van bases, Fiat and Citroen/Pug (despite having different engines) had much worse emissions than MB and VW. Since then we learn that Fiat where allowed to do their own emission tests, seems things haven't got any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevina Posted December 17, 2021 Author Share Posted December 17, 2021 We have Crit Air 3 displayed, I've never encountered an active zone so was looking up in advance to see if Lille was active because of the weather (it wasn't). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
