It is necessary to understand that the rules which appear and which fight against the famous climate change They appear from time to time. The result is that they modify some of the actions that appear in daily life and with which human beings have harmed the environment.
All these new laws are going to be for the good of the planet and must be applied with common sense, but in the same way if we want to avoid a considerable fine.
A law activated over a large part of the national territory
The law which deals Climate change and energy transition It is beginning to be activated in a significant part of our country, so there are new possibilities of being subject to sanctions. All of this means that many municipalities have started to issue serious warnings about regulations, including those regarding Low Emission Zones (LEZ).
Currently, only a minority activates this law in cities, but let’s not forget that it will be obligatory in the future in municipalities and cities that have a population of more than fifty thousand inhabitants. There is a series of municipal ordinances that will require us to carry an environmental label from the General Directorate of Traffic in the event that we do not wish to be subject to a fine or sanction.
Labels to access a ZBE
If you want to avoid a fine, you must wear one of the following labels in a low emission zone:
Type B label
This corresponds to petrol passenger cars and vans from January 2001 to 2005, in which we will include diesel cars and vans from 2006 to August 2015.
Type C label
That indicated for passenger cars and light vans running on petrol and registered since 2006 and diesel cars and vans registered since September 2015.
Type label zero
It is created for electrified cars, those with extended range, plug-in hybrids with a range of forty kilometers and fuel cell cars.
Ecolabel
Most suitable for plug-in hybrid vehicles that will not travel distances greater than forty kilometers in electric mode, those that run on natural gas and hybrids that are not plug-in.
And what is happening with historic vehicles?
Lately, there has been a lot of reading on the whole subject of this type of vehicle and the legislative changes that accompany them. Basically, cars over thirty years old will be able to drive in city centers.
This measure is part of the administration’s intention to preserve the heritage of the Spanish automobile fleet, which was increasingly at risk of disappearing due to this whole issue of environmental labels and the ban on driving in certain cities.
We are going to know a little more about them, since in addition, making your vehicle historic is going to be a little simpler than before and more economical in any case.
What are the requirements to meet?
There are three:
Antique
In this classification, it must be at least thirty years old since its registration or manufacture. It must be in its original condition. No modifications should be made to items such as the engine, brakes, steering, bodywork or suspension.
special interest
The model must be registered in the General Inventory of Movable Property of Spanish Historical Heritage, being declared as an asset of cultural interest, or whether the vehicle participated in a historical event or belonged to an important person.
Collector’s vehicle
This option arises when few units were manufactured, that is to say it is a unique model, which will justify its entry as historical.
What are the advantages of historic cars?
Anyone who enters this group will benefit from a series of advantages, both in terms of maintenance and circulation. You will be exempt from complying with anti-pollution regulations.
For this reason, you can travel without problems in the ZBE and it will not be affected by restrictions that arise during episodes of heavy pollution.
The last advantage that will be associated will concern the passage of the ITV, since even if they have to take it, those under forty will take it every two years, those between forty and forty-five every three years and with more than forty-five every four years.
