Italy: 1 scheme to know about before you drive in.
Maranello has one driving restriction on our books: the Limitazioni alla circolazione veicolare nel centro abitato di Maranello… (low emission zone). What is a low emission zone?
Sources last read on 2026-09-28, from the authorities' own pages. The next scheduled check is 2026-12-28.
Maranello closes its built-up areas to older vehicles for the winter half of the year, from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027.
Monday to Friday, 08:30 to 18:30, the ban catches petrol cars up to and including Euro 2, LPG/petrol and methane/petrol up to and including Euro 2, diesel cars up to and including Euro 4, and mopeds and motorcycles up to and including Euro 2. 🚨 Every Sunday of the season is an ecological Sunday — the order says so in as many words, "Tutte le domeniche comprese nel periodo 01/10/2026 – 31/03/2027 sono domeniche ecologiche" — and on those Sundays the ban runs on the wider emergency vehicle list, which reaches diesel Euro 5.
Nothing is on sale: there is no day ticket, no charge and no payable derogation. The fine is set by national law and the order states it, a range of €168 to €679, with fifteen to thirty days' licence suspension for a repeat offence within two years. 🔑 Two things here have no counterpart in the neighbouring records.
The first is where the ban applies: the order writes "the centro abitato of Maranello (MO)" in the singular, but the plan it attaches shows the delimited built-up area as eight separate patches lettered A to H, scattered across a large and mostly rural municipality, so this is a scheme covering several distinct settlements rather than one town centre.
The second is an exemption that fits the town: motoring events organised or sponsored by the council are excluded from the ban outright, "che di volta in volta verranno programmati" — programmed case by case, and therefore not something this page can put in a calendar.
Electric and hybrid vehicles, cars carrying at least three people, vehicles registered for specific transport or special uses, and vehicles enrolled in the regional Move-In telematics scheme are outside the ban altogether — and here, unlike in Piacenza, Move-In covers the Sundays and the emergency days as well.
