Amsterdam LEZ · first city

One LEZ fine wipes out six months
of route optimisation savings.

Amsterdam’s low-emission zones ban diesel vans by class, street, and time-of-day — and the rules change per quarter. Routific and Onfleet don’t see those zones. We do. Route your mixed fleet around fines, not through them.

01The problem is hyper-local

If you run a mixed fleet of EVs and Euro-5/6 diesels in an EU city, every delivery stop is a compliance check. Most routing APIs think about traffic and distance. None of them model the specific street, time window, and vehicle-class combinations that trigger a municipal fine.

// ROUTIFIC · ONFLEET · GOOGLE

Generic routing, global rules

They optimise for time and distance. They don’t model which specific Amsterdam streets ban Euro-5 diesel between 6am and 11pm. Your Tuesday route is legal; your Wednesday route is €680.

// YOUR DISPATCHER

Memory + PDF + guesswork

Most small-fleet dispatchers are cross-referencing three PDFs, a WhatsApp from the city council, and a memory of which intersection got enforced last month. That’s not a process. That’s a liability.

// ENTERPRISE TMS

€60K/yr + six-month onboarding

TMS systems that model this cost six figures and ship with a dedicated implementation consultant. Great if you’re DHL. Useless for a 15-van fleet with a three-person ops team.

02How GreenRouteEU works

You upload (or POST via API) your stops for the day and your fleet’s vehicle-class roster. We return a route assignment that legally enters the zones you’re authorised for and legally avoids the zones you’re not.

03Why Amsterdam first

Building a pan-EU LEZ-routing API on day one is a trap. Every city has different rules, different classes, different exemptions, different enforcement schedules. We pick one dense, high-risk market and make it airtight before expanding.

// 01

Concentrated pain

Amsterdam has some of the EU’s most aggressive LEZ enforcement and Europe’s highest per-entry fines (up to €2,250). The pain is real and quantified.

// 02

Single rule-set

One set of zone rules means one scraping + normalisation pipeline we can maintain daily. That’s the difference between a product and a never-finished research project.

// 03

Sharp ICP

10–50 vehicle fleets serving Amsterdam last-mile. 300+ of them in the registry. Direct-email reachable. We can talk to 20% of them in 60 days.

04Pricing

Flat monthly, counted by vehicle. 14-day free pilot — if you don’t avoid at least one LEZ fine in the first two weeks, don’t pay us.
