Terms & conditions and exceptions for emissions sticker in Germany<\/h2>\n
\n
The emissions sticker is linked to your vehicle. Your registration number is put on the emissions sticker when you purchase it. This means you need a separate emissions sticker for each vehicle.<\/li>\n
Electric cars also require a green emissions sticker. There is no exception for emission-free cars. (This is being\u00a0 discussed<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in, for example, Bavaria.) As a supplement, the German blue emissions sticker or the E-Plakette is available to foreigners, which means that you can benefit from certain advantages in some places.<\/li>\n
As this time, electric cars still require an emissions sticker. The law has not yet made an exception for emission-free cars. This issue is being addressed and Bavaria is voting on whether or not electric vehicles without an emissions sticker should be fined. Because this has not yet been settled, we advise you simply to order the emissions sticker for Germany even if you are going on holiday with an electric vehicle.<\/li>\n

Euro 6 standard<\/h2>\n
There are plans to introduce a blue environmental sticker for vehicles that meet the Euro 6 emissions standard. These are modern diesel and petrol cars that emit less nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulates. There are still excessive concentrations of nitrogen oxides in some urban areas. This blue sticker aims to keep older vehicles out of environmental zones, as they emit significantly more nitrogen oxides than modern cars. Major cities like Stuttgart, Munich, Berlin, Hamburg, and D\u00fcsseldorf have expressed interest in introducing these stricter environmental zones, but it is not yet in force. Going to one of these cities? Then make sure you always look up the latest information on which sticker is necessary.<\/p>\n
