Starting January 1, 2025, only zero-emission vans and trucks registered after this date will be permitted within the zone. The ZEZ will encompass the area within the city’s ring roads.
A draft traffic decision, initially approved by the municipal council in March, had proposed including Ringbaan-Oost (between the railway viaduct and the junction with Ringbaan-Zuid) and the Armhoef and Jerusalem districts. However, feedback from residents and businesses led to the exclusion of these two neighbourhoods, reducing the ZEZ to the same area as the existing environmental zone.
