These are the vehicles benefiting from Crit’Air 4 stickers.
Marseille takes the lead
Gradually, Crit’Air 3 vehicles will be banned. The measure will take effect from 1er January 2025 in four metropolises. In Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône), it will come into force next September. If some motorists deplore this decision, the deputy in charge of policy for the city of Marseille, Audrey Gatian, mentions a measure “logic” for improvement “air quality”. In 2025, the 43 largest cities will be affected by the introduction of these low-emission zones.
