English summary
December 2006 the Danish Parliament adopted the law concerning low emission zones (LEZ) in Denmark.
Five municipalities have been given the possibility of establishing a LEZ. These five are: Copenhagen, Frederiksberg, Århus, Odense and Aalborg. At the moment Copenhagen and Frederiksberg have decided to establish LEZ by September 2008 and Aalborg will establish a LEZ by February 2009. Århus and Odense are considering the possibility.
The conditions within the LEZ are exactly the same in all LEZ in Denmark. Issues concerning geography and transit-roads will are individual in each LEZ.
The geography and transit roads in Aalborg can be seen on the map below.
Marked with green is the low emission zone and the red line is a route without any restrictions in order to ensure all vehicles the possibility to cross the Limfjord.
Vehicles included are busses and lorries; 3,5 tonnes or larger.
The demands are:
February 2009: the engine is EURO 3 or newer or has a Particulate Filter
July 2010: the engine is EURO 4 or newer or has a Particulate Filter
International vehicles and danish vehicles need a special low emission zone mark in the front window. The zone mark can be ordered from http://ecosticker.applusbilsyn.dk/
The Danish Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will inform about the LEZ in Denmark internationally and this information will be made in different languages and sent out in relevant fora.
For more information about the background, legislation etc. please contact the Danish EPA.
