The last one was the blue plaque with white lettering. This marvel of readability (just kidding) is not an occurrence of our DGT, but is common to other European countries: it is mandatory for vehicles intended to transport passengers, with or without a driver, up to nine seats. That is, for taxis and VTC.
Now, the DGT is not only considering modifying environmental labels to make them more fair and consistent, but it is also mulling over a new license plate for historic cars 30 years old or older in conjunction with FEVA, the Spanish Federation of Antique Vehicles.
For years the associations of classics they have felt discriminated against and mistreated by the Administration: why is it that a Rolls Royce Phantom with several decades of history behind it cannot circulate certain days of the year if together its emissions would not even reach half of what a hybrid taxi a day in any city in Spain?
In those moments it seems that it is being studied that these cars can circulate in certain circumstances by some places in cities that are now banned, such as the ZBE of Barcelona or Madrid 360. It could also be easier to prosper the government’s idea of forcing to put ‘clean’ areas with mobility restrictions for polluting vehicles in towns with more than 50,000 inhabitants.
If they prosper, historic vehicles that aspire to the new license plates They must meet a series of requirements, the main of which is that the car has three decades behind it. What’s more:
- They must have a Current ITV
- They have to be collected in the General Inventory of Movable Property of National Heritage, be an asset of cultural interest, be of special interest or have belonged to a relevant personality, such as the Renault 4 by Vicente Aleixandre.
- Vehicles especially rare or rare
- Have no modifications
- They must receive a official certification
From now on, several questions arise: how many kilometers can you do per year? Will vehicles that already have a historical license plate automatically receive this license plate? What is singular car? An Aston Martin DB2 is clear, but what about a Renault 21 Turbo? We will see how the matter evolves …
