Crit'Air sticker

The Crit'Air sticker, also known as the air quality certificate, is a self-adhesive sticker to stick on the vehicle, which indicates its environmental class according to its emissions of atmospheric pollutants. Its mission is to regulate traffic in certain major cities. It is mandatory in many French areas and during pollution peaks. This classification is done taking into account the date of first registration (Euro standard) and the engine.

Although not all Renault buy-back vehicles are concerned by the possible bans in case of pollution notification in certain major cities in France, the Crit ' Air sticker must nevertheless be bought by the owner of the car, the signatory of the TT Eurodrive order form.

The vehicles are divided into 6 environmental classes, except for the most polluting vehicles that are not entitled to have a sticker:

  • Crit'Air 0: hydrogen and 100% electric vehicles;
  • Crit'Air 1: gas vehicles, plug-in hybrids and gasoline Euro 5 and 6;
  • Crit'Air 2: Euro 4 petrol, Euro 5 and 6 diesel;
  • Crit'Air 3: Euro 2 and Euro 3 petrol, Euro 4 diesel;
  • Crit'Air 4: Euro 3 diesel;
  • Crit'Air 5: Euro 2 diesel.

Concerning the Renault brand new cars, you must choose the Class 1 sticker for Gasoline models and for the Diesel models you must opt for the class 2 sticker.
