Spain: passenger car fleet by environmental sticker

In 2022, the largest share of vehicles in circulation in Spain were granted the green C sticker, an environmental sticker showing these internal-combustion engine vehicles met the latest European emission standards. Vehicles granted the zero emission sticker amounted to some 205,700 units—the smaller share of the total fleet. In contrast, there were over twice as many vehicles without an environmental sticker on Spanish roads, despite these typically having the highest emissions.

Supplementary notes

The Zero emission sticker is granted to the most energy-efficient vehicles including battery-electric vehicles (BEV), extended range electric vehicles (EREV), plug-in electric vehicles (PHEV) with a driving range of 40 kilometers or above, and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV).
The Eco sticker is granted to PHEVs with a range under 40 kilometers, hybrid vehicles (HEV), compressed natural gas vehicles, and liquefied natural gas vehicles. These vehicles must also meet the criterias for the C sticker.
The C sticker is granted to vehicles with an internal combustion engine which meet the latest EURO emission standards. These include: petrol passenger cars and petrol light commercial vehicles registered since January 2006 and diesel cars and LCVs registered since September 2015, as well as vehicles with over eight seats and heavy vehicles registered since 2014, both petrol and diesel.
The B sticker is granted to vehicles with an internal combustion engine which do not meet the latest EURO emission standards, but meet previous standards. These include: petrol passenger car and vans registered since January 1st, 2001; diesel cars and vans registered since 2006; vehicles over eight seats and heavy vehicles (both diesel and petrol) registered since 2006.
The rest of the vehicle fleet (the 50 most polluting percent) does not have the right to an environmental sticker, as these vehicles do not meet the requirements to be labelled as a clean vehicle.
