Castelldefels low-emission zone (ZBE): rules, labels & fines

Castelldefels definitively approved its ZBE ordinance in November 2025 according to RACE, with the zone active from 1 January 2026. An ordinance text on the municipal e-office (approval stage not stated in the document) bans unlabelled L, M and N vehicles in the central zone on working days 07:00–20:00. It defers the sanction regime to 1 January 2030 (1 July 2030 for commercial vehicles and low-income owners). RACE instead describes the moratorium as applying only to residents, and this conflict is unresolved. Foreign vehicles must register with the AMB.
