That isn't what Germany wants to know John, it's what flavour of "Euro" (III, IV, V,....) it is.

I have a feeling it isn't any flavour of Euro at all.

The Bongo diesel engine does not meet the German Federal eligibility criteria and you can not take it in to any of the cities that have a low emissions zone.

I doubt you'd get a Lancaster down a city street anyway with that wing span :wink:

But I'm OK cos I never bought a Bongo with a view to heading into town anyway.

I worried (a bit) about that issue before I headed off to Europe last year. Most European cities have pretty decent transport links in and out anyway - Venice, Ljubljana, Munich, Salzburg, etc all do anyway.

On one occasion we ended up heading South towards Munich, intending to go round it to get to a campsite on the other side - I thought I'd just keep going until the emissions zone started, then go around. Ended up going right through the centre. It was a Sunday, so not too busy anyway. Didn't see any signs to say I shouldn't have carried on, so Munich 'seems' OK.

They are allowed in the cafe's, shops and restaurants, and can even pick their own meat from the butchers from what I saw when I lived there, so I reckon the buses are no expection :lol:
