Overview
- The law sets a one-year mandate to propose a new vehicle classification, and no revisions have been approved yet.
- Policy intent shifts the labels from a focus on urban NOx and particulates toward decarbonisation measured by CO2.
- According to Carwow’s reporting, proposals under discussion include raising the threshold for the Cero label and rethinking how plug‑in hybrids are treated.
- The Eco category is being questioned in reporting for covering gas-fueled and mild‑hybrid cars that can have CO2 output comparable to conventional models.
- Any adopted changes would start in 2027 without retroactive effect, DGT will define criteria, local councils will decide Low Emission Zone access, and drivers can confirm their current label via DGT channels such as the miDGT app or the online registry.
