From 1 January 2026, more and more French cities will face stricter environmental zones (ZFE - Zones à Faibles Émissions). This means that not just any vehicle can drive into any city anymore. Fortunately, VWE helps you be well prepared to hit the road with the right environmental stickers!

Planning to travel to Germany soon? Then we have good news! More and more German cities are abolishing their environmental zones, allowing you to drive around with your vehicle without any worries.

It has been three years since Russian troops invaded Ukraine. Many residents of Ukraine came to the Netherlands during that time to escape the violence of war. Did you flee Ukraine and bring your car with you to the Netherlands? Please note: no later than 4 March 2025, your vehicle must have a Dutch number plate. From that date, you must also pay motor vehicle tax.

On Tuesday afternoon, the National Road Administration presented the new license plate combination and issued the first number plate. The new number plates consist of three letters, two digits and end with a letter. The series is expected to last for eight years.

The Netherlands' two biggest license plate apps, Kenteken Opzoeken and iKenteken, are now merging into one app: the Finnik Kenteken app. This updated version offers new features in addition to the information from the existing apps. Such as checking how often your own car is spotted, the current trade-in value and the status of the number plate. Finnik, which produces 33 million car reports for consumers every year, offers a total overview of relevant car information with this updated app.

From 17 to 26 April, Finnik will have a stand at the Netherlands' biggest car event, AutoRAI 2015. At the Finnik stand, you can take a Digital Test Drive, have a valuation report printed out or get information about Finnik from the experts. Would you also like to get to know Finnik?
