Environmental Emission Zone
In order to improve the air quality and reduce fine dust contamination levels, an increasing number of German cities – like Hanover – are introducing signposted official emission zones. Only vehicles carrying an official permit (disc-shaped sticker) are allowed to drive in these zones. The Exhibition Grounds are located outside Hanover’s emission zone. However, as of 1 January 2009 a yellow or green official permit is necessary to drive in large parts of the city.
More detailed information about emission zones and official permits can be found on the website of TÜV-Nord. You can order your official permit online or buy one at any TÜV station or motor vehicle registration point.
