You won’t be surprised if we tell you that environmental penalties, whether for CO2 emissions or weight, are increasing every year. Scale for 2024 year has just been discovered and is the last one much more seriously than in the current year.
Tighten the screw a little more
This is in the new Financial bill for 2024 from the government that we became aware of such a scale. From January 1, 2024, the trigger of the fine was reduced. From now on, the fine starts with 118 g/km rejected against 123 g/km in 2023. The same applies to the maximum amount of the fine, which was zoomed in. Actually, the latter is now available 60,000 euros! However, if in 2023 the car had to be abandoned at least 226 g/km of CO2 to reach the maximum recovery amount that was 50,000 eurosfrom now on 194 g/km of CO2 emissions, the amount paid will be 60,000 euros.

Constantly increasing fine:
Penalty starting at 118g/km, many models then protected in 2023 will now inherit the penalty from 2024. First of all, keep in mind that new Peugeot 208 with its PureTech 75 engine, the BVM5 will inherit the €100 fine in 2024. The same applies the new Clio V in its SCe 65 engine, which will also inherit the €100 fine, as well Dacia Sandero with which it uses the same engine.
Further in the table, we notice an increase in the fine for the most polluting cars. Actually from 195 g/km of CO2 emissions, the fine in 2024 will be directly imposed on 60,000 euros and will not be progressive to the limit 226 g/km as in 2023.
In 2024, the fine is progressive to 195 g/kmin addition, you will have to pay an amount of 60,000 euros!
