Following the vote by the Brussels Parliament on 4th October 2024, the milestone of 1st January 2025 for the Low Emission Zone (LEZ) has been postponed to 1st January 2027 for all vehicles concerned by this milestone.
Owners of these vehicles therefore do not need to buy a day pass or apply for an exemption to drive in the LEZ.
What is the Low Emission Zone?
« Low Emission Zone » (LEZ) translates to « Zone de Basses Emissions » in French. This is the term used to designate an area where the most polluting vehicles are prohibited from travelling. This measure is being taken in a large number of Belgian (Brussel, Antwerp, Ghent) and European cities to improve air quality and therefore public health.
How to get around the Brussels-Capital Region?
There are alternatives to the car. Adopt them!
Purchase a day pass
A pass costs €35 per day. You can buy a maximum of 24 passes per year per vehicle.
Request an exemption
Some types of vehicles qualify for an exemption either automatically or on request.
