High resolution spectroscopic data of a large sample of galactic planetary nebulae with [WC] central stars ([WC]PNe) are analyzed to determine their kinematical behavior. Their heliocentric velocities have been determined with a precision better than a few km/s. Distances obtained from the literature are used to derive the peculiar velocities of the objects. Our preliminary results are: (a) The [WC] PNe are distributed in the galactic disk and they appear more concentrated than the normal PNe. (b) Separating the sample in Peimbert's types, we find that Type I PNe show in general low peculiar velocities (<50 km/s) except for a couple of objects apparently belonging to the galactic bulge. For the other [WC]PNe, most of them belong to the Peimbert's Type II (defined as having Vpec ≤ 60 km/s). However there is an important fraction (28%) showing Vpec larger than 60 km/s therefore they are classified as Peimbert's Type III.
