What am i

[vzac]

These emmision zones throughout Europe are confusing me.
My van is 7.5m long, euro 5 ducato, but it's 3860kg. So what am I, am I classed as m1 car or n ? Truck. I really have no idea what to put for france, germany, Poland Austria and more HELP. All I get told is I should know. But I don't.

This may help:

Thanks, but it doesn't as my van and Weight do not fit into any of these euro groups.

Sorry perhaps I misunderstood your query. The distinction between 'M' and 'N' is generally passenger vehicle or goods vehicle. If your reference to 'van' is a motorhome it would be M1 or 2; if it is not a motorhome and a commercial vehicle it would be N2. Hope that makes it clearer.

Motorhome is M1 SP.

On the French Crite Air form over 3.5t you have put it down as a truck.

Hi lenny. Thanks, do you know if other countries use m1 sp. Norway certainly don't and its very confusing.

Sorry don't know the SP stands for Special Purpose even confuses our DVLA but thats not hard.

Because, as Nigel P said, a MH is passenger and not goods so M1, albeit Special Purpose, I put ours down on Crit' Air application as a car.

Let's see what they come back with.

Didn't think there was a car option for over 3.5T.

I can't remember having to put in a weight.

However I got an acknowledgement saying the sticker will be despatched, so presumably all is in order.

I doubt whether the French have access to the Polish register for Veteran vehicles.

Anyway the chances of our going into a French city at a time when the emissions ban is in force is minimal, so as long as we have got the sticker on the window if we ever go into a city I doubt whether anyone is worried whether it is the correct category when there is no emissions ban in force.
