European Emission Standards Question (1 Viewer)

[Richard Birkett]

I have just received notice of Euro 3 classification from Certificat qualite de l'air. My Carthago is on a Man chassis and was 1st registered on 30.11.2006. Every thing I have read, led me to believe that vehicles registered after 01.01.2006 were Euro 4. Is the classification correct? and if not, can I appeal?
Thanks in advance.
Richard

@Richard Birkett Do you mean the crit de air sticker for your windscreen?

Is this of any help ? :

The weight of the vehicle seems to be important.

Two different things possibly, are you looking at the engine classification for your vehicle or the Crit'air standard they issue?

Detnor,
I mean the Crit'air standard.

@Richard Birkett They have given you a cat 3. Nothing to do with euro engine type. Cat 3 for heavy vehicles > 3500kg or older vehicles with higher emissions.

Being French and part of Europe they have decided on a completely different system to Germany (just so you don't understand it) so a Euro 4 is a 3 and a Euro 5/6 is a 2
