For Valentin Lungenstrass, deputy to the City of Lyon responsible for mobility, “weight is not something trivial”. In the viewfinder of the Lyon elected official, vehicles weighing more than 1.5 tonnes and in particular SUVs, which are too numerous in his eyes.

The town hall, by proposing progressive prices taking into account weight and motorization, wants to “encourage the use of more economical and less polluting vehicles”. Owners of thermal vehicles whose weight does not exceed one tonne, as well as electric vehicles weighing less than 2.1 tonnes, will pay 15 euros per month for their subscription. This pricing will also apply to the lowest-income households and large families (three or more children).
