Which pollutant classes are assigned to motor homes?

Motorhomes are primarily subject to weight-based taxation. In addition, the amount of the tax depends on the pollutant class.

The tax rates are broadly diversified and range from EUR 10.00 to EUR 40.00 per 200 kilograms of total weight or part thereof, depending on the pollutant class.

The tax calculation is similar to that for cars. First of all, the "Emission key number" (pollutant key number) must be taken from the vehicle documents.

The emission key number is displayed in

• Admission certificate part 1 (Zulassungsbe­scheinigung Teil 1) in "Feld 14.1" (left, in the middle of the document)
• The "old" registration document (Fahrzeugschein), in key number "Schlüsselnummer zu 1".

The key number can be used to determine the corresponding pollutant class on the basis of the following table.
