David Belliard, deputy mayor of Paris in charge of transport, announced during a press briefing on Thursday October 3, 2024, the creation of a 24 hour ZFE pass which will allow certain vehicles to circulate in the low-emission zone.

“Deviate from the rule in a certain way”

The ZFE pass will concern Crit’Air 3 vehiclesi.e. diesel cars over 14 years old and gasoline cars over 19 years old on January 1, 2025. According to the deputy, it will allow them “to deviate in a certain way from the rule” twelve times a year.
