Crit air lez's France info

But at 4 tonne, as per V5, can't be a car.

You are confusing UK tax with EU classifications, my van being Private Light Goods doesn't put in less than 3.5t van category as far as the French are concerned. Car category for them includes M1 Motorcaravan of any weight.

Yes, I see this chart:

https://www.certificat-air.gouv.fr/docs/tableaux_classement.pdf (The French gov official site)

Dosn't stipulate weight.


wheras the ref ***** quotes does, and this looks German text within the document ' Copyright of the table is owned by Crit'Air.fr/ Green Zones GmbH.'

Did you get a Classe 3 cert? I did

No. My 'van was classified as a 4 which I think is correct.

OK

Mine ( classed as 3) is Euro 4 in V5 so the best a euro 4 diesel can be is class 3, whether it is car or light utility, but as a HGV it would be in class 2, same as yours.

Strangely on the chart class four is sometimes refereed to as 'Euro 4' or 'Euro IV' nothings consistent!

I think you are mixing up Diesel and Petrol engines.

My van is early 2011 Euro4(not listed on V5), so I just filled in minimum that was asked for this gave me a Cat2. :banana:

Don't think so.

There are no Euro 4 Diesels in class 2, they messed your classification up, to your advantage,

Don't think so.

Looking at your post again I think what confused me was a typo.

There are no Euro 4 Diesels in class 2, they messed your classification up, to your advantage,

If there is no stated Euro they take reg date, so any Diesel post 1/1/2011 is assumed to be Euro 5 (or better)
