The system of low emission zones, which limits the circulation of motor vehicles in large cities, is set to become widespread. The journalist Julian Nenypresent on the set of 12/13, Tuesday October 25, takes stock of the situation.
The system of low emission zones (ZFE) will be generalized in France. Currently, “13 metropolises have already set up a ZFE. This is the case in Rouen (Seine-Maritime), but also for example in Paris, Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône), Strasbourg (Bas-Rhin) or Toulouse (Haute-Garonne)”explains journalist Julien Nenypresent on the set of 12/13, Tuesday, October 25.
30 new agglomerations of more than 150,000 inhabitants will be affected by the system from January 1, 2025. The EPZ will eventually reach 44% of the French population. Which vehicles are affected by the device? “In principle, all motor vehicles, but in reality, each city decides a bit how they want to apply these restrictions”explains the journalist. In the event of non-compliance with the device by heavy goods vehicles and buses, the fixed fine is 135 euros.
