Did you know? From 2021, the Lille EPZ will be in place, and cars with Crit'air 4 and 5 stickers will no longer be allowed to drive in the zone. These measures will affect both private and business vehicles. In fact, 23% of the car fleet is affected, representing more than ⅓ of the fine particle emissions caused by road traffic.
Lille's EPZ will be introduced from 2021, with an initial awareness-raising phase and a second phase of fines.
These measures will become more and more restrictive over the years, so it's important to think ahead and buy vehicle models accordingly, such as electric vehicles.
