Only cars with the ECO label and ZERO emissions can access, circulate and park
The Climate Change Act has already entered into force, which obliges all municipalities with more than 50,000 inhabitants to develop plans to introduce so-called Low Emission Zones (ZBE), which restrict the access of numerous cars to the urban centers of the cities will prevent hit. These restricted traffic areas are already a reality in some cities such as Madrid and Barcelona, but also from today many cities, especially
more than 150 municipalitiesmany of which are unaware.
And it is that, according to Sumauto, in Spain about 11.5 million cars pass through these cities and that the measure affects at least almost four million vehicles, which do not have the characteristic of the DGT. And it is that this seal of approval, which
categorizes vehicles based on their pollution levelwill be the one to set the tone of which vehicles can enter these areas and which cannot.
So only cars with the ECO label (green and blue) -usually hybrids, gas vehicles or both- and the ZERO Emissions label (blue) -electric and plug-in hybrids- can access, circulate and park without restrictions in the ZBE.
Cars labeled C (green) – petrol registered from January 2006 and diesel from September 2015 – and cars labeled B (yellow) – petrol registered from 1 January 2001 and diesel from 2006 – they will be allowed in all LEZs of any city, although municipal parking restrictions can be introduced gradually – especially in the case of label B -, as in Madrid Central, where it is mandatory to park in a regulated car park before leaving the area.
The rest of the vehicles, the most polluting and designated A vehicles from before 2001 on petrol and before 2006 on diesel, are not entitled to a type badge because they do not meet the requirements to be labeled as a clean vehicle and that they be more limited. That is why cars without an environmental label cannot enter the low-emission zones demarcated by the municipalities.
