Italia amână cu un an interdicția pentru mașinile diesel Euro 5

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 government, primarily affects Lombardy, which had not implemented alternative pollution reduction measures like other regions. The ban was initially scheduled for October 2026, targeting cities with over 100,000 residents. The delay reflects concerns about the financial burden on drivers of older vehicles, as many cannot afford newer, less polluting cars. The postponement highlights the ongoing conflict between pollution reduction goals and the economic realities faced by vehicle owners.
