The Municipality of Apeldoorn will introduce the zero-emission zone on 1 January 2030. A zero-emission zone is an area where businesses may only use zero-emission vans and lorries. The zero-emission zone does not apply to passenger cars.
The introduction of the zero-emission zone stems from the national Climate Agreement. Under this agreement, it was agreed that the forty largest municipalities in the Netherlands would introduce a zero-emission zone. That is why Apeldoorn City Council has also decided to introduce a zero-emission zone. The aim of this zone is to reduce CO₂ emissions by allowing only cleaner and fewer vehicles into the zone. In this way, the zero-emission zone contributes to a cleaner and more attractive city centre.
