Car Dealer Compliance in Luxembourg

The rules for car adverts in Luxembourg

6 rules decide what a dealer in Luxembourg has to show on the car, in adverts and in financing examples. Each one, and what it asks of you:

RGD du 6 avril 2001
Règlement grand-ducal du 6 avril 2001 concernant la disponibilité d'informations sur la consommation de carburant et les émissions de CO2 à l'intention des consommateurs lors de la commercialisation des voitures particulières neuves
Authority SNCH (Société Nationale de Certification et d'Homologation) compiles the national guide, the SNCT distributes it; penalties under the Law of 21 June 1976
Importers and dealers who offer new passenger cars for sale or financial leasing must place a label with the official fuel consumption and CO2 emissions on or near each car at the point of sale, trade fairs included, and must quote both values in all printed advertising. A breach can be punished with eight days to six months in prison and a fine of 251 to 20,000 euros, or either of them, doubled for a repeat within two years.
RGD du 12 janvier 2004
Règlement grand-ducal du 12 janvier 2004 replacing annex III (poster and screen at the point of sale)
Authority SNCH (Société Nationale de Certification et d'Homologation)
Each brand at a point of sale needs a poster of at least 70 by 50 cm or a screen of at least 25 by 32 cm listing all its new models, grouped by fuel and ranked by rising CO2, with the most economical model at the top. The poster carries two fixed sentences and is fully updated every six months, a screen every three months.
Code de la consommation
Code de la consommation, article L. 112-3 (selling price)
Authority Minister in charge of consumer protection
The selling price you display or advertise is the price including VAT and all other taxes. For a car that means the figure buyers see on the window card and on your website already contains the 17 percent VAT.
Code de la consommation
Code de la consommation, articles L. 224-4 and L. 224-5 (consumer credit advertising)
Authority Minister in charge of consumer protection
A car loan advert that names an interest rate or any cost figure shows a representative example, clearly and visibly: borrowing rate and type, total credit, annual percentage rate (TAEG), term, cash price and down payment, total amount payable and instalments, and any compulsory insurance. Luxembourg has no statutory warning sentence today, and claims such as quick or easy credit are banned.
Code de la consommation
Code de la consommation, articles L. 224-21 and L. 224-22 (credit intermediaries)
Authority Minister in charge of consumer protection
A dealer who arranges loans for a partner bank is a credit intermediary and must be on the minister's list of intermediaries. His adverts state the extent of his powers, in particular whether he works exclusively with one or more lenders; a registration number need not appear.
Projet de loi n° 8708
Bill no. 8708 transposing Directive (EU) 2023/2225 on consumer credit (CCD2)
Authority Chambre des Députés
The bill would add the warning "Attention ! Emprunter de l'argent coûte de l'argent" to every credit advert and move the register of intermediaries to the CSSF. It was not adopted by the end of October 2026, so today's rules still apply. Vehicle Hub pauses loan examples for Luxembourg from 20 November 2026 until the final law is published and checked.

Car dealer compliance in Luxembourg rests on the règlement grand-ducal of 6 April 2001: every new passenger car you show or offer for sale or financial leasing needs a label with its official fuel consumption and CO2 emissions on or next to it, each brand needs a poster with all its new models, and every printed advert, from brochures to newspaper ads and billboards, states the same two values. Luxembourg has no efficiency class and no official label picture, so the duty is about the right figures in the right place. Prices must include VAT and every other tax, and a car loan advert with a rate or cost figure needs a representative example under the Code de la consommation. Vehicle Hub keeps the values on the car and prints the label, the advert line and the price from them.

Many buyers in a Luxembourg showroom come from France, Belgium and Germany, and many dealers run their website in French and German. The mandatory lines stay French, the language of the Mémorial, also on your German pages, which the RGD allows. The RGD covers printed material only; Vehicle Hub still shows the values on your website and flags a car whose values are missing there. The mandatory information per market follows your branch's main market, and the Vehicle Hub widgets put the same line on each car's page. Luxembourg is one of the European markets Vehicle Hub covers rule by rule; the overview of all countries lists the others. Vehicle Hub applies the rules; it does not replace legal advice on a specific case.

What the Luxembourg label looks like

The RGD lists the elements of the label but gives no official picture, so Vehicle Hub sets them on an A4 sheet in the order of annex I: the title Consommation de carburant et émissions de CO2, the model, the type of fuel, the official fuel consumption in l/100 km with one decimal and the official CO2 emissions in g/km as a whole number. Two sentences follow word for word: one on the free fuel guide available at every point of sale, one on driving style and CO2 as the main greenhouse gas. There is no class and no color scale.

Label printed by Vehicle Hub for a new Toyota Yaris Cross petrol car: Essence, 5,6 l/100 km, 127 g/km, with both RGD sentences.

Mandatory details in Luxembourg

Label A4 with title, model and type of fuel in the order of annex I
Official fuel consumption in l/100 km, one decimal; weighted value for plug-in hybrids
Official CO2 emissions in g/km, rounded to the nearest whole number
The two sentences on the free guide and on driving style, word for word
Labelled advert line, at least as visible as the main part of the advert
Fuel name: Essence, Diesel, GPL, Éthanol (E85), Gaz naturel, Hydrogène or Électricité
Brand poster with all new models by fuel and rising CO2, two poster sentences
Price including 17 % VAT and all other taxes
Representative example with TAEG, cash price, down payment, instalments and lender
Intermediary statement naming the lender you work with
Manufacturer, EU responsible person and safety line

What you get

The RGD label for every drive
Print the A4 label for petrol, diesel, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, LPG, E85, natural gas, hydrogen and electric cars. Each version uses the right unit, and an electric car shows sans objet for fuel and 0 g/km.
French mandatory lines on every page
Your website can speak German or English, while the consumption and CO2 line stays in the French of the règlement grand-ducal, so a buyer from Trier sees the same legal line as one from Metz.
Prices with all taxes included
Price and delivery costs stay separate on the car, and buyers see the price including 17 % VAT on your website, in the exposé and on the window card.
Loan examples that follow the Code de la consommation
The Loan Calculator shows the representative example, your lender with address and the sentence on how you work with that lender, in the order the law sets.
Ready for the CCD2 date
Luxembourg had not adopted its CCD2 law by the end of October 2026. Vehicle Hub pauses loan examples from 20 November 2026 until the new rules are checked, so no advert runs on outdated wording.
One poster per brand for the showroom
Vehicle Hub sorts the new models of each make by fuel and by rising CO2, puts the most economical at the top, adds the two sentences and prints the list at 70 by 50 cm.

Print your first Luxembourg label

Bring in a few new cars, check the official consumption and CO2 values on the energy tab and print the label. Then open the exposé on a German page and see the French mandatory line and the price including 17 % VAT in place.

How to get started

Set your branch's main market to Luxembourg
Open Vehicle Hub in your KIMISUITE workspace and choose Luxembourg as the main market of the branch. If your plan includes more markets, add France, Belgium or Germany as additional markets to show their rules on your website as well.
Bring in your stock
Import from mobile.de, Carix, CXO, Carzilla or a CSV or XML feed, or add a car with the creation assistant. Fuel type and condition decide whether a car needs the label.
Check the values Luxembourg asks for
Look over consumption and CO2 on the energy tab of each new car, and the weighted values for plug-in hybrids. Imported values count as confirmed by you, so correct anything that looks wrong.
Print and publish for car dealer compliance in Luxembourg
Print the label and the brand poster, then publish the car on your website. The car page, the exposé and the window card carry the same values.

Pricing

The Luxembourg rule set, the label for every drive, the brand poster, the exposé and the Loan Calculator are part of Vehicle Hub, which starts at a fixed monthly price (see pricing) per dealership workspace. Your whole team works in it for that one price, with no charge per printed label.

Is it the right fit?

A good fit if

Concessionnaires and garages in Luxembourg that sell new cars to private buyers
Dealers with a French and German website who need one correct mandatory line on both
Dealers who sell to buyers from France, Belgium and Germany and want those markets' rules on the website too
Dealers who arrange car loans for a partner bank and want the example and intermediary sentence right

Not the right fit if

Dealers who want Vehicle Hub to publish their cars on Luxauto.lu or AutoScout24; Vehicle Hub publishes only to mobile.de, not to these portals
Dealers who sell only used cars and never need a label
Dealers who need German or Luxembourgish versions of the label texts; the RGD texts are printed in French
Anyone looking for legal advice or tax advice on vehicle tax; Vehicle Hub applies the rules, your trade federation or lawyer answers questions about a specific case

Frequently asked questions

What does car dealer compliance in Luxembourg involve for a new car?

A label with the official consumption and CO2 on or near the car, a place on the brand poster, both values in every printed advert and a price including all taxes. Loan adverts with a rate or cost figure add a representative example.

Is there an energy class on the Luxembourg label?

No. The règlement grand-ducal asks only for the model, the fuel, the official consumption and CO2 and two fixed sentences. Vehicle Hub prints exactly those elements and adds no class or color scale.

Do my German-language pages need German mandatory texts?

The RGD prescribes no language, and French is the language of the Mémorial. Vehicle Hub keeps the French line on your German pages, which meets the rule; a German version would be voluntary.

Do online adverts in Luxembourg need consumption and CO2?

The duty covers printed advertising: brochures, press ads, billboards, the price sign and the exposé. Vehicle Hub shows the same values on your website anyway and flags a car whose values are missing.

What changes for car loan adverts on 20 November 2026?

Luxembourg had not adopted its CCD2 law by the end of October 2026; bill no. 8708 would add a statutory warning. Vehicle Hub pauses loan examples for Luxembourg from 20 November 2026 until the final law is published and checked, then shows them again with the new wording.

Which authority handles data protection for my buyers' enquiries?

The Commission nationale pour la protection des données (CNPD) supervises the GDPR in Luxembourg. Vehicle Hub stores the consent text each buyer accepted with the enquiry.

Can I show my cars to buyers from France, Belgium and Germany?

Yes, if your plan includes more than one market. Add those countries as additional markets of your branch, and Vehicle Hub checks each car against their rules as well and can show their mandatory lines on your website.

Does a demonstrator still count as a new car?

Yes, as long as it has not been sold to a buyer for his own use. The RGD defines new that way, without an age or mileage limit, so demonstrators keep the label.
