Overview

• Vigo’s local government approved the initial low-emission zone project spanning 67 hectares across four areas and launched a 30‑day public consultation alongside the ordinance process.
• Despite the mayor’s claim that penalties are not foreseen, the approved technical dossier sets an information-only first year in 2025 and activates sanctioning from the second year of each phase, beginning with restrictions on vehicles without a DGT label.
• Toledo gave definitive approval to a zone limited to the historic center, accepted exceptions for trips to local workshops and for vehicles transporting people with reduced mobility, and rejected calls to expand the perimeter to areas such as Antequeruela, while IU decried the process as opaque.
• Castelldefels adopted an ordinance for a central zone starting in 2026 on workdays that applies €200 fines but exempts residents from penalties until 2030, initially covering about 9% of the urban area and roughly 28% of residents.
• Nationwide, only about 55 of 149 required municipalities have implemented, announced or begun trials, with delays and exhausted funds in the MOVES incentive program cited as a key drag on broader rollout.
