NEWS: The two-year postponement of the Low Emission Zone (LEZ) in the Brussels Region was suspended by a ruling of the Constitutional Court on Thursday 11 September 2025. EURO 5 diesel and EURO 2 petrol vehicles (cars, vans, buses, lorries), as well as petrol motorcycles that do not meet at least the Euro 3 standard, are therefore no longer allowed to circulate in the Brussels Region. However, a transitional period has been put in place. Find all the information on the home page.
The lez.brussels website is currently being updated to reflect this change. Options for purchasing day passes for these vehicles will be available from mid-November.
