A highly hardened penalty in the coming years? This is what the budget draft is presented this Monday, February 3. A compromise text built by a joint joint commission, after the censorship of the Barnier government last December and in which François Bayrou has already announced that he triggered 49.3.
Tigger at 113 g/km of CO2
This draft of the budget sets in particular the amounts of the fine for this year, from March 1 until December 31. In the absence of a state budget he voted for 2025, it was the 2024 regime that remained in force.
In this draft draft of the 2025 budget, the activation threshold (the CO2 issuance level from which this surcharge is paid) is established at 113 g/km of CO2, with 50 euros in penalties. An amount that then increases the gram per gram to the roof.
This is 5 grams less than the 2024 threshold (which until now continued) with a trigger at 118 g/km.
This maximum amount that can be claimed in 2025 goes from 60,000 to 70,000 euros, for vehicles that emit more than 192 g/km of CO2.
In 2024, new cars sold in France, including those finally affected by the fine, issued an average of 93.6 g/km of CO2.
The evolution established for 2026 and 2027
This budget draft also sets the evolution of this network for the next two years.
In 2026, the activation threshold would increase to 108 g/km, with a ceiling of 80,000 euros for vehicles that emit more than 191 g/km of CO2.
Finally, in 2027, the penalty would begin from 103 g/km of CO2 and the ceiling would reach the record amount of 90,000 euros, 190 g/km of CO2.
