Virtual meetings and events are taking center stage right now amid health Industry Trends concerns surrounding the global Corona virus (COVID-19) pandemic. While we strongly believe that face-to-face events are king (read more on that Life Sciences here), the potential health risks that come from gathering many people together in one space can make virtual events a safer, more viable option in BCP Sports some circumstances.

Quality is key.
There are several different designations for these areas reserved for “greener” road traffic. In France, the least restrictive are the APZs (Air Protection Zones.) Since 2017, these spaces, often the size of several communes, have been subject to a differentiated traffic scheme where old vehicles and those without a fine particle filter are prohibited during pollution peaks.
In LEZs (Low Emission Zones), vehicles with significant harmful emissions are prohibited at all times. Signs are used to designate the boundaries of these zones. It is up to the municipalities to decide which types of vehicles are authorized within their LEZ. Only vehicles with particular Crit’air certifications are allowed.

France currently has four Low Emission Zones: one in the greater Paris area, one in Lyon, another in Grenoble, and a fourth in Strasbourg. The latter three spaces restrict traffic according to the vehicle’s Crit’air certification, a sticker placed on the vehicle that designates one of six categories: from Crit’Air 0 (for zero engine emissions, a category that includes electric vehicles,) to Crit’Air 5, which refers to vehicles with very high exhaust emissions. Older combustion-powered vehicles, known to create a lot of pollution, are simply “not classified.” How do you get a Crit’air sticker? Visit the certificat-air.gouv.fr website to put in a request.

Belgium’s Low Emission Zones, or “Zones de Basse Émissions” depending on the locality, are only accessible to certain vehicles. They are located in Brussels and Anvers, and both communes require vehicles to register online. The Belgian capital only allows diesel vehicles registered after January 2006 (starting with the Euro 3 standard.)
New zones were introduced in Ghent in January 2020. Malines will soon introduce their own, as will the Wallonia region and the municipalities of Namur, Eupen, and Liège.
As of 2019, there were nearly 300 Low Emission Zones in Europe, scattered across around a dozen countries. While, as is the case with the Crit’Air certification, the Euro indicator (which shows the date the vehicle first went on the road) is generally used to determine which vehicles have the right to drive in such zones, the actual application of the rules varies by country. In some cities, you must register online to have the right to drive in these areas, whereas in others you must request a sticker by mail and then display it on your dashboard to avoid paying a fine. It is therefore essential for European travelers to do their research before heading into some city centers!
