The French government is proposing a revision to the eco-score system, which is currently used to evaluate the environmental impact of vehicles and determine eligibility for ecological incentives. The proposed changes are open for public consultation from September 17 to October 7, 2026. The revision aims to address concerns that the current two-tier classification system does not adequately reflect the diversity of vehicle usage, especially for family cars. Bertrand Moreau, an expert in electric mobility, notes that the new plan includes the creation of a specific category for 7-seat vehicles, which are often used for larger families or group travel. The eco-score has played a key role in determining eligibility for the ecological bonus (also known as the CEE push) since 2023. This bonus encourages the purchase of low-emission vehicles by offering financial incentives based on the vehicle's carbon footprint. The evaluation considers factors such as materials used, battery technology, manufacturing, and transportation. The system also influences the taxation of company car fleets, specifically in the calculation of the in-kind benefit (AEN) since 2025. Currently, the eco-score system divides vehicles into two categories. The first includes vehicles with at least five seats, a boot space of at least 200 liters, and a range of at least 170 kilometers under the WLTP (World Light-Duty Test Procedure) standard. The second category is for 4-seat urban vehicles with lower autonomy. However, due to the high minimum score requirement, very few vehicles qualify for the 4-seat category. The proposed revision introduces a third category for 7-seat or larger vehicles with a minimum boot space of 410 liters and an electric range of at least 550 kilometers. However, even with these specifications, qualifying for the ecological bonus remains challenging, as vehicles must also meet a cost cap of 47,000 euros and a tare weight under 2.4 tonnes. Additionally, these vehicles must achieve the same minimum environmental score as other models, which some family-oriented vehicles currently fail to meet. At the same time, the criteria for the main category—covering most sedans, compacts, and SUVs—will become stricter, potentially excluding more models from receiving the eco-score. The final decision, expected after the consultation period, could lead to a strong public reaction.
