Guide for determining the emissionsclasses of heavy commercial vehicles

As of: July

. Lorries and articulated tractor units registered in Germany (not cars):

For motor vehicles registered in Germany with EU-standard vehicle registration documents, the emissions class can be

determined from the text for item or from the third and fourth positions of item .. On older vehicle registration

certificates, the emissions class is shown under item in the fifth and sixth positions.

In the case of domestic [German-registered]heavy commercial vehicles only (however not for cars and motorcycles or motor

homes up to .t), these code numbers can be determined from the following table:

* For vehicles equipped with particulate reduction systems:

When vehicles in pollutant emission categories S or S have been retrofitted with a particulate reduction system, they

qualify for a more economical toll category (only when these conditions are met) based on the following table:

* Particulate reduction class *BFStrMG German Federal Trunk Road Toll Act

In certain cases, under item or letter V. on the EU-standard vehicle registration certificates or under item (comments)

on old vehicle registration, there may be a deviating (generally more favourable) emissions class entered. In these cases,

the more favourable emissions class applies.

The particulate reduction class is indicated under number (on new vehicle registration certificates) or under number

(on old vehicle registration certificates).

Attention is explicitly drawn to the fact that, in the case of non-German registered heavy commercial vehicles with EU-

standard vehicle registration certificates, the code numbers to point . do not necessarily correspond with the code sys-

tem for emissions classes applied in Germany. It is possible for deviating national codes of the EU member states to be list-

ed under point ..

For non-German-registered heavy commercial vehicles, therefore, only the following comments apply:

. Heavy commercial vehicles registered outside Germany:

a) In the case of non-German-registered heavy commercial vehicles with EU-standard registration certif icates, an initial

check needs to be made, whether any plain text to point , V. or point unambiguously identifies one of the EU direc-

tives listed in sequential numbers to and to in the above table (plain text e.g.: //EEC I and, as such,

can be classified under one of the Euronorms listed in the table (in the example case, this would be Euronorm ).

b) In the case of non-German-registered heavy commercial vehicles without EU-standard registration certif icates, an initial

check is also to be made, whether these have any plain text corresponding to one of the EU Directives listed in sequential

numbers to and to in the above table, and which can be accordingly classified.

. Alternative evidence of the emissions class for German and non-German-registered heavycommercial vehicles:

Where it is not possible to provide evidence of the emissions class of German and non-German-registered heavy commercial

vehicles, in terms of the above comments, this can also be provided by submission of:

. the current vehicle tax licence in German, or

. a certificate that the vehicle complies with specific environmental requirements.

This also applies for clear proof of the particulate reduction class. It is regulated in Section subsection of the German

Regulations for Collection, Evidence of Proper Payment and Refunding of the Toll (LKW-MautV) or Section subsection in

conjunction with Section subsection LKW-MautV. The LKW-MautV regulations are published in BGBl. I , p. ff.,

and can also be accessed on the Internet at http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de).

Full evidence for point is provided by the vehicle-related document for CEMT approval (green, super-green and safe

and EURO safe, EURO safe, EURO safe and EURO safe vehicles). Here, the vehicle-related document for a

green vehicle provides evidence of emissions class Euro , that for a super-green and safe vehicle, of emissions class

Euro , and that for a EURO safe vehicle, emissions class Euro , for a EURO safe vehicle emissions class EURO , for

a EURO safe vehicle emissions class EURO and for a EURO safe vehicle emissions class EURO .

If the emissions class cannot be derived according to these principles, alternative possibilities for establishing the plausi-

bilityof the emissions class are:

Carrying in the vehicle a certificate in German from the vehicle or engine manufacturer, containing clear evidence of the

engine approval or the approval of the particulate reduction system. This certificate must clearly show (for example by in-

cluding the vehicle registration number or the vehicle identification number (chassis number)) that the low-emissions en-

gine or particulate reduction system is actually installed in the vehicle in which the certificate is being carried.

Certification in German of approval of the engine or particulate reduction system by an independent expert. In this

case, too, evidence must be provided that the low-emissions engine or particulate reduction system is actually installed in

the vehicle in which the certificate is being carried.

If any other suitable document is submitted, the German Federal Office for Goods Transport (BAG) will, at its own discretion,

decide whether the emissions class of the toll-liable vehicle has been demonstrated beyond doubt (Section subsection

LKW-MautV or Section subsection in conjunction with Section subsection LKW-MautV). If the submitted documentsprovide contradictory evidence of the emissions class, the emissions class applicable to the classification can also be deter-

mined at the honest discretion of the Federal Office of Goods Transport, taking account of the existing presumption rules for

non-German-registered vehicles.

The following presumption rulesfor non-German-registered vehiclesapply (Section subsection LKW-MautV):

Toll-liable vehicles, registered outside Germany and for which none of the mentioned certificates is submitted, or for which

contradictory documentation is submitted, can be assumed to be allocated to the following emissions class:

. Emissions class S for first registration after September

. Emissions class S for first registration after September and before October

. Emissions class S for first registration after September

. Emissions class S for first registration after September and before October . Emissions class S for first registration after September and before October

. No emissions class for first registrations before October .

If the vehicle is classified in point , it is to be booked as Euro at toll station terminals. This also applies in the absence of

any appropriate points of reference. There is no objection whatsoever to logging on with Euro .

. Vehicles with abnormal emissions:

In the case of vehicles with abnormal emissions, which are very evidently (e.g. by the emission of considerable amounts ofdiesel soot) contrary to the emissions class determined in the registration procedures, the German Federal Office for Goods

Transport can demand evidence that the heavy commercial vehicle does actually meet the standards of the emissions class

to which it has been classified (Section subsection LKW-MautV).
