Estimate based on the byelaws and DGT criteria checked on 15 October 2026. The byelaw in force and, for the label, the DGT number-plate lookup have the final word. How we calculate
The only low-emission zone in force in Seville is on the Isla de la Cartuja, covering two areas of the science and technology park. It came into force on 8 January 2024 with an information phase extended to 30 June, and since 1 July 2024 unauthorised entries have been fined. It runs Monday to Friday, except public holidays, from 7.00 to 19.00, and only keeps out vehicles without a DGT label: roughly petrol cars from before 2000 and diesels from before 2006. Zero, ECO, C and B labels enter with no formality or prior registration, and cameras read the number plate at the entrances. Motorbikes, mopeds, taxis, emergency services, residents and garage users are exempt, and anyone who cannot enter has free car parks open 24 hours on the edge of the zone. The serious-offence fine is €200.

A zone designed around a business park
Seville chose to start with the Cartuja, an office and university site with easily controlled entrances, rather than the historic centre. That is why the hours match a working day and the exceptions look at people who work there: car parks at the edges, permits for companies on site and for patient transport. Outside those hours, in the evening and at weekends, any vehicle may drive in.
Who is outside the rules
The council’s instructions exempt motorbikes and mopeds by category, as well as goods vehicles over 3,500 kg and vehicles with more than 8 seats. Residents and garage-space users have their own permits, and drivers heading to a public pay car park may also enter. Outside those cases, entries caught by the cameras are fined.
The council website did not respond to automated downloads on the day we checked: the data were read from archived copies of its official pages. If you are taking an older car to the Cartuja, check its label before you set off.
