Supported Vehicle Classes

Last verified 2026-05-07 against RDW Open Data + Gemeente Amsterdam · updated weekly.

Fleetkeur reads RDW Voertuiggegevens for every kenteken you submit and applies the per-municipality LEZ/ZE ruleset that matches the vehicle’s European category code and Euro emission class. Both axes matter: a Euro-6 N3 lorry is treated differently than a Euro-6 N1 van even on the same street.

Vehicle categories we cover (EU type-approval)

Euro emission classes

RDW exposes the Euro class field directly for diesel + petrol. For electric (BEV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV), CNG/LPG and FCEV vehicles we read the powertrain field and treat them as the strictest applicable category for the destination zone (typically cleared for Centrum LEZ, conditionally cleared for ZE).

ClassDiesel coveragePetrol coverageNotes
Euro 1–3Yes — flagged blocked in all NL LEZYes — legacyAlmost always excluded; we still verify because some exemptions apply (oldtimer, trade).
Euro 4Yes — flagged blocked in current NL LEZYesZero-emission zone deadlines published for affected vans.
Euro 5Yes — blocked in Amsterdam Centrum since 2026-04-01Generally allowedThis is the highest-risk class for current dispatchers.
Euro 6 / 6d / 6d-tempYes — cleared until 2027 cut-offCleared2027-01-01 transition watched per kenteken.
BEV / PHEV / FCEVn/an/aCleared for Centrum LEZ; conditionally cleared for ZE.

Foreign-registered plates

Currently NL plates only for kenteken-level checks. For non-NL plates the API returns category-level guidance (M1/N1/N2/N3 + assumed Euro class from registration date), with a clear foreign_plate: true flag and a recommendation to verify with the originating authority. Full foreign-plate support is on the 2026-Q4 roadmap.
