Harta primei Zone cu emisii reduse propuse în București. Restricțiile pentru mașinile poluante ar începe în 2027

Bucharest's mayor proposes a Low Emission Zone starting November 1, 2027, restricting access for older, polluting vehicles. The initiative aims to improve air quality and will gradually expand to include more vehicle categories over five years. A support program for households using solid fuels for heating is also planned, focusing on transitioning to gas heating. The measures come after years of air quality issues and a European Court ruling against Romania for pollution exceedances. The city faces increasing pressure to comply with EU air quality standards by 2030, with significant health impacts noted from pollution levels.
