Dear
customers,
France has
introduced the Crit'Air Vignette for use in French Environmental Zones (ZCR)
starting 01 July 2016!
The new
French Crit'Air Vignette, introduced on 01 July 2016, is designed to
differentiate within 6 categories between older and newer, more environmentally
friendly, vehicles.
Already
since July 2015 old trucks and buses, and since 01 July 2016 also older cars
are either not allowed at all - or only allowed at night - to enter the
environmental zones (Zones à Circulation Restreinte).
After a
currently ongoing transition period fines for missing a vignette will be
enforced, starting from 01 October 2016.
The fine
for driving without the Crit'Air Vignette will then rise from currently 68 Euro
on 01 January 2017 to 135 Euro.
The new
French Crit'Air Vignette has been introduced firstly for the whole area of
Paris, more cities will follow this year.
For more
information in many languages, please visit our information portal Crit'Air,
which will be available in English language from next Monday (22 July).
The French
Crit'Air Vignette can now be conveniently ordered in our online-shop. Please
note that for vehicles not registered in France this will only be possible in
the beginning of 2017.
Furthermore,
we will of course provide you with also all other required badges and vignettes
for Europe.

MERE INFO OM VIGNETTEN:
Since the 1st of July 2016, all the vehicles registered from the
1.1.1997 need a badge to prove that they are “clean” enough to drive into the
“traffic restrictions zone”.
On the French website, the government writes that the Crit’Air badge is
not compulsory for all the vehicles. It means, you can drive in France without
this badge. But if you want to drive into the “traffic restrictions zones”,
which enhance for now only Paris intramuros (inside the Boulevard Périphérique),
you need to carry the Crit’Air to justify your right to drive. Otherwise, you
can be charged of 35 EUR from the 1
st
of October, and of 68 EUR from
the 1
st
of January 2017.
For the rest of France, other cities should introduce “traffic
restrictions zones” in the next months, and, we believe, the Crit’Air badge as
well, as a controls instrument.
The vehicles not registered in France cannot yet receive a badge. This
will be possible from March-April 2017.
To know if you may receive a Crit’Air badge or not for your vehicle,
please refer to the table on this link:
