Lombardia interzice din octombrie circulația mașinilor diesel Euro 5. Cum au evitat măsura celelalte regiuni din Italia

From October, only Lombardy will enforce restrictions on Euro 5 diesel vehicles, while other Italian regions have opted for alternative measures. The decision comes amid high pollution levels in the Po Valley, with Lombardy implementing bans in major cities during specific hours. Other regions like Piedmont and Emilia-Romagna have chosen to adopt compensatory measures instead of outright bans, citing the need to protect vulnerable families and businesses. Environmental organizations criticize these alternatives, arguing they fail to address the long-term issue of an aging and polluting vehicle fleet.
