Apparently Rouen has introduced tighter emissions standards from September 2022 and for central areas of the city and outlying districts, including the two main transit routes, you will need a Classe 3 sticker (Yellow) or below. 

The good news is that fines for non-compliance will not be imposed until 1st March 2023.

    Mine is Orange, Cat 3 inspite of it being a Euro 5 engine. Presumable size of vehicle also effects the category. As far as I can see it is only if your category is higher than this that problems can occur. You can drive into the centre of all the towns/cities I have looked at if you have category E,1.2. or 3.

    Mine is yellow (Class 2) and, like PD, is a Euro 5 engine. 

    My German one, just to confuse everything, is green (Class 4)

    Mine are the same, but in the 7 years I have had them, I don't think I have ever entered a controlled zone.

    Thanks for the update.
    Will be Towing along through Rouen in January 2023 hopefully but whilst a 2013 MB W166 ML 250 Bluetec AdBlue dirty Diesel we are rated as Euro 6 & so Class 2 yellow. NB Minimal / nil emissions on MOT as run 100% on V Power. 

    I understood that the French initially imposed the CriTair restrictions during peak pollution issues only ? 

    The increasing numbers of ULEZ Cities marches ever onwards.
