Umweltplakette for 2011 Hymer (1 Viewer)

[lisassister]

We are travelling through Germany in the summer and will be ordering an umweltplakette. Can anyone tell me from experience if we are likely to get a green badge for our 2011 Hymer? I'm thinking not! Thanks in advance.

We had a 2010 Autocruise on Peugeot x250 3.0 litre, Euro 4, for which we were issued a green umweltplakette , so see no reason why you should not get one.

Apparently you can order on line but be careful to do it direct rather than paying an 'agent'. We obtained ours as we entered Germany from a 'MOT' garage who issue them on production of your registration document and issue colour that is relevant. It's around €6.00

Thank you both. Encouraging news icantremember! EX51SSS, yes I've heard that, thanks though.

I am officially an idiot. Our Hymer is not 2011 but 11 years old! So 2006! So I'm thinking it is unlikely that we'll get a green one?

Yes, you should get a green plakette. Perhaps easiest, and most likely cheapest, to get one in Germany from either a TÜV depot (equivalent to our MOT testing stations) or from a dealer of the base vehicle (Fiat/Merc etc.) Ours cost €5 from a Merc commercial dealer, but that was back in 2010.
Don't forget to take the original V5C document with you.

Our Flair is 2006 registered built on 2005 chassis, its the registration date they go by when working out the colour of the disc so you could still be lucky

Thanks for your reply. Did you see my update that I got the year wrong? It is a 2006 Hymer.

 

[JeanLuc]

You might still just squeeze a green one. Ours is 2003 and we got a yellow one. In your circumstances I would definitely wait until you get to Germany before buying.
Unless you can get a green one, I would not bother as most cities with umwelt zones only allow in vehicles with green plakettes now. See this website for useful info.

p.s. It's the year of base vehicle manufacture that matters, not the year of first registration. So, if your Hymer is a late registered version, you may be Euro III rather than IV.

p.p.s Looking at your profile, I see it's a B524. If this was built on a Fiat chassis with 2.8 JTD engine, it will be Euro III. If it has the later 2.3 multijet it should be Euro IV.

I dont know what your base chassis is but with ours the difference between 2005 to 2006 would have been the addition of EGR valve.

They charge €15 to and it arrives in the post, checking the web site suggests it is just registration date that matters so you should get green I think.

I used this website. Although a few euros more than buying once there, it does mean that you don't have to worry about it once on your trip and also you will know where you stand.
If you do not get it, don't worry too much as, if you are like us, there is nothing of great attraction to draw us into the centre of big cities. Those that do require the sticker, have brilliant transport systems so you could park and ride.

Only €6 from the Berlin office, or you can pick one up from any car dealer or TUV office for €5.

If it is an X250 they are Euro 4 but if a X244 I think some of the later ones were Euro 4 but you would need a letter from Fiat to confirm.

I think you just scan your V5 document and send that, if they can't see what emission class you are they go on date of first registration which is where we won as ours is a a 2005 chassis so would have been yellow sticker but on the first registered date we got green euro 4, the Berlin site you quote used the date 1st October 2006 as cut off for Diesel truck registration, where the Tuv Sud link uses the 1st January 2006 which could make the difference between euro 3 and 4 if they are issuing on registration date over paperwork.
