The free online application, produced by the InTerLUD program (Territorial Innovations and Sustainable Urban Logistics), aims to help professional drivers find out where they need to purchase a Clean Air Zone sticker and how to do it.
Via the ZFE.green tool, companies should be able to facilitate and optimize their travel with special attention to Clean Air Zones in one click.
The website makes it possible to take a look at all of the Clean Air Zones as well as the regulations for each of them. This information, updated in real-time, is gained from the National Base of Low Emission Zones and from the various local authority orders.
ZFE.green can be viewed on mobile phones and computers, However, at the moment the site is only available in French.
Users should note that the website is in beta at this moment in time, therefore some glitches may come up during usage.
When starting to use the application, drivers can choose to register their vehicles by answering a couple of questions so the system can show what regulations apply to them.
To do so, users should give permission to the site to use their location, and then choose the type of their vehicle and its Crit’Air classification.
To help users, an info pop-up is added, which helps drivers find out which Crit’Air category applies to their vehicle – however, this info is again in French.
Finally, users can provide details about the type of activity they are going to do: for example transporting food aid, driving a “convoi excpetionelle” or transporting animals.
However, you don’t have to make a registration on the site. Users can choose to simply click on the city whose Clean Air Zone restrictions they are interested in and learn all the different requirements and plans in force.
According to the creator, ZFE.green will soon have a route planner service too. This will calculate routes taking into account the Crit’Air sticker of the vehicle, the sector of activity of the operating company, and the different low emission zone regulations on its route, possibly suggesting an alternate route.
