Italia amână cu un an interdicția pentru mașinile diesel Euro 5. Ce se întâmplă acum în Lombardia

Italy has postponed the ban on Euro 5 diesel vehicles in the northern regions by one year, now set for October 1, 2027. This decision, made by the Italian government, primarily affects Lombardy, which had not implemented alternative pollution reduction measures like other regions. The ban was initially scheduled for October 1, 2026, targeting cities with over 100,000 residents. The delay reflects concerns about the financial burden on drivers of older vehicles, as emphasized by Transport Minister Matteo Salvini. Other regions have already adopted measures to mitigate pollution without enforcing the ban uniformly, highlighting the ongoing tension between environmental goals and economic realities.
