Starting at November 1, 2011 all foreign buses and trucks will need the Danish Environment-Sticker called EcoSticker, if they want to pass through major Danish cities. Such environmental Zones are established in Copenhagen, Aarhus, Odense and Aalborg.
Vehicles of Euronorm 3 over 3,5 t than will be obliged not only to backfit an authorized Particle filter and fulfill at least the Euronorm 4 – but moreover the certified EcoSticker has to be shown easily visible at the windscreen. In case the vehicle does not conform with the new environmental rules there can be a fine of 20.000 DKK (2.700 Euro) for the driver and for the carrying company. Also the vehicle can become seized, until a potential fine has been paid. The new law will be executed in cooperation of the Danish police and the local authorities in the 4 cities with environmental zones.
The Danish environmental sticker called EcoSticker can be recognized by its green color. It has to be applied individually for each vehicle. The sticker will display the Nationality and the license number of the vehicle. The sticker is not transferable and cannot be used for more than one vehicle. Each vehicle needs its own EcoSticker / Ecobadge.
The Danish badge, called 'EcoSticker', can be purchased at Climate Company in our online shop and will be shipped by mail service throughout Europe.
In special cases there will be the possibility to apply at the Danish environmental authority for an exception permit. Vehicles being not conform with Euronorm 4 can be exempted from the new rule for a limited period of time. If the application for exemption from Euronorm 4 is granted, the vehicle will carry a red sticker. This red sticker shows that the vehicle is entitled for a limited time to drive within the new Danish environmental zones.
