THE NEW DGT ENIRONMENTAL BADGES

nexo nr

There are four types of badge, which are issued depending on the polluting potential of the vehicle (see illustration).
The DGT (Director General of Traffic)  Environmental Badges aim to identify the most environmentally friendly vehicles and must be displayed if you drive into a Low Emission Zone (usually in one of the big cities and are signposted). Otherwise they are currently voluntary.
The stickers aim to positively discriminate in favour of the most environmentally friendly vehicles and control high pollution levels.
The four categories are:

Distintivo cero emisiones, the blue zero emissions label  applies to:

  • Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV).
  • Electric vehicles with extended range (REEV).
  • Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) with a minimum range of 40 km.
  • Fuel cell vehicles.

Distintivo eco, or the green and blue eco badge applies to:

  • Plug-in hybrid vehicles with a range of less than 40 km.
  • Non-plug-in hybrid vehicles (HEV).
  • Vehicles powered by natural gas.
  • Vehicles powered by natural gas (CNG and LNG) or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).

Distintivo C, or distinctive green C which applies to:

  • Passenger cars and light petrol vans, registered from January 2006.
  • Passenger cars and light diesel vans registered from 2014.
  • Vehicles with more than 8 seats and heavy, petrol or diesel, registered from 2014.

Petrol vehicles must comply with the Euro 4.5 and 6 standard, and diesel vehicles with Euro 6.

Distintivo B, or distinctive yellow B, which applies to:

  • Passenger cars and light petrol vans registered from January 2000.
  • Diesel passenger cars and light vans registered from January 2006.
  • Vehicles with more than 8 seats and heavy, petrol or diesel, registered from 2005.

Petrol vehicles must comply with the Euro 3 standard, and diesel vehicles with Euro 4 and 5.

It is easy to find out which category your vehicle falls into as the DGT website has a tool where you can insert your vehicle registration and click “consultar” and the site will indicate which category your vehicle falls into. Go to  https://sede.dgt.gob.es/es/vehiculos/distintivo-ambiental#
The stickers are available from the Post Office for a small charge.
