Pour entrer dans les zones environnementales allemandes, la vignette verte est généralement déterminante. L’éligibilité est vérifiée à partir des données d’émission du véhicule.
Attribution des vignettes · Allemagne
De quelle vignette environnementale mon véhicule a-t-il besoin ?
La vignette allemande appropriée dépend surtout du type de véhicule, de la motorisation et de la norme d’émission. Voici les règles essentielles pour les véhicules allemands et étrangers.
✓ Vignette verte pour les zones environnementales
✓ Vignette E bleue comme identification EV supplémentaire
✓ Vérification gratuite du véhicule
En bref
La vignette E bleue est une identification supplémentaire pour certains véhicules électriques et hybrides rechargeables immatriculés à l’étranger. Elle ne remplace pas la vignette verte.
Vignette verte et vignette E bleue : la différence
Pour les zones environnementales allemandes
Vignette environnementale verte
The green sticker identifies vehicles with sufficiently low pollutant emissions. It is the relevant sticker for access to appropriately signposted German low-emission zones.
- Assignment by vehicle type, fuel and emission standard
- For German vehicles, the emission key number is especially important
- For foreign vehicles, Euro class and registration documents are used
Identification EV supplémentaire
Vignette E bleue
The blue E-sticker can make the EV status of eligible foreign-registered electric vehicles and certain plug-in hybrids visible in Germany.
- Especially useful for vehicles without a German E number plate
- May be relevant as proof for local EV rules
- Does not replace the green sticker in low-emission zones
Repères selon la motorisation et la norme d’émission
The following information is intended as understandable guidance. Individual emission keys, retrofits and special cases can lead to a different classification.
Essence, gaz et de nombreux hybrides
Vehicles with a regulated catalytic converter or at least Euro 1 can often receive the green sticker. For foreign vehicles, first registration from 1993 is an important guide when no Euro class is available.
Diesel
Diesel classification is more complex: Euro 2 typically corresponds to red, Euro 3 to yellow and Euro 4 or better to green. A suitable particulate-filter retrofit can upgrade certain Euro-3 vehicles.
Électrique et hydrogène
Electric and hydrogen vehicles are also identified accordingly for German low-emission zones. For foreign registration, the blue E-sticker can additionally be useful.
Hybride rechargeable et hybride
For the green sticker, the vehicle’s emission standard is decisive. An eligible foreign-registered plug-in hybrid may additionally qualify for the blue E-sticker.
Valeurs indicatives selon le type de véhicule
If the exact Euro class is unknown, first registration can provide initial guidance. The actual vehicle and emissions data remain decisive.

| Motorisation / classement | Voiture – repère | Poids lourd / utilitaire – repère |
|---|---|---|
| Petrol – Green | at least Euro 1; often first registered from 01 Jan 1993 | at least Euro 1; often first registered from 01 Jan 1993 |
| Diesel – Red | typically Euro 2; guide from 01 Jan 1997 | typically Euro 2; guide from 01 Oct 1996 |
| Diesel – Yellow | typically Euro 3; guide from 01 Jan 2001 | typically Euro 3; guide from 01 Oct 2001 |
| Diesel – Green | Euro 4 or better; certain Euro-3 vehicles with suitable DPF retrofit; guide from 01 Jan 2006 | Euro 4 or better; certain Euro-3 vehicles with suitable retrofit; guide from 01 Oct 2006 |

Important: the dates are only a guide when no clear Euro class is available. Reliable classification uses the vehicle’s actual data.
Quelles données du véhicule sont importantes ?
DE
Véhicules immatriculés en Allemagne
German vehicles can be classified very accurately from the registration documents.
- Emission key number – field 14.1 on newer documents
- Vehicle type: car, motorhome, van, truck or bus
- Drive: petrol, diesel, gas, hybrid, electric or hydrogen
- For older diesels, particulate filter and PM/PMK level where applicable
EU
Véhicules immatriculés à l’étranger
Foreign registration documents often use different fields. Classification is therefore based on the information available in those documents.
- Euro class or emission standard
- Date of first registration
- Fuel / drive system and vehicle type
- If unclear: review of the registration document
Clé d’émission : pourquoi le numéro complet est important
For German vehicles, a rough statement such as “Euro 3” or only the final digit is not always enough. The full emission key can contain special groups and newer letter combinations. Our assistant takes these differences into account.
Cas particuliers importants
Diesel avec filtre à particules
A retrofitted particulate filter can improve the sticker classification. The emission key and the documented PM/PMK level are decisive.
Motos
Motorcycles and other two- or three-wheeled motor vehicles generally do not need an environmental sticker.
Véhicules historiques
Historic vehicles with a German H plate or red 07 plate are generally exempt from the sticker requirement in low-emission zones. Foreign historic vehicles may require separate proof.
Camping-cars, utilitaires, poids lourds et bus
For these vehicles the commercial-vehicle classification may apply. Older diesel vehicles in particular use different key and retrofit tables than passenger cars.
Données manquantes ou ambiguës
If the Euro class, emission key or retrofit level is unclear, do not guess. Use the vehicle assistant or have the documents reviewed.
Que signifient rouge, jaune et vert ?
The colours belong to Germany’s pollutant-group sticker system. Whether a sticker permits entry always depends on the signs for the individual low-emission zone.
Vignette rouge
Typical classification for older diesel vehicles, including certain Euro-2 vehicles.
Vignette jaune
Typical classification for many Euro-3 diesels without sufficient retrofit.
Vignette verte
For vehicles with a sufficiently low pollutant class; the key sticker when planning trips into German low-emission zones.

Un doute ? L’assistant détermine la vignette
Our environmental-sticker assistant asks only for data relevant to your vehicle. It considers registration country, vehicle type, drive system, Euro class, emission key and – where necessary – particulate-filter data.
Questions fréquentes sur l’attribution des vignettes
Quelle vignette pour un véhicule Euro 4 ?
A Euro-4 or better diesel can generally receive a green sticker. Petrol vehicles can often be green from Euro 1. We always check the actual vehicle data before issuing a sticker.
Un diesel Euro 3 peut-il obtenir une vignette verte ?
Yes, for certain vehicles this is possible with a suitable particulate-filter retrofit. The emission key and documented PM/PMK level are decisive.
Une voiture électrique a-t-elle besoin d’une vignette verte ?
Electric vehicles are also identified accordingly for appropriately signposted German low-emission zones. A foreign-registered EV may additionally use the blue E-sticker.
La vignette E bleue remplace-t-elle la vignette verte ?
No. The blue E-sticker identifies EV status. It does not replace the green environmental sticker for low-emission-zone access.
Quelles données faut-il pour un véhicule étranger ?
Euro class, first registration, fuel or drive system and vehicle type are most helpful. If the data is unclear, the registration documents can be reviewed.
Où trouver la clé d’émission ?
On newer German registration certificates, the emission key number is in field 14.1. The full number is important for reliable classification.
Les motos ont-elles besoin d’une vignette ?
No. Motorcycles and other two- or three-wheeled motor vehicles generally do not need an environmental sticker.
