Hannover Emission Zone

Hannover has established an official ‘Emission Zone’ roughly defined by the express ways (Schnellwege) encircling the city centre. The Emission Zone is indicated by signs reading ‘Umwelt-Zone’. Only vehicles which meet certain minimum requirements are permitted to enter the Emission Zone. To demonstrate compliance, an official permit (disc-shaped sticker) must be displayed on every vehicle's windshield. Permit discs can be obtained from all approved vehicle testing stations, ‘AU’ approved garages and vehicle registration offices. The citizen centres (‘Bürgerämter’) in Hannover also issue discs. More detailed information can be found on the Hannover city website and in the brochure below.
