Primarul Ciucu vrea să interzică mașinile sub Euro VI în București. 80% din parcul auto, dacă s-ar aplica acum • Newsweek România

Bucharest's mayor, Ciprian Ciucu, plans to progressively ban polluting vehicles, aiming for only electric and Euro VI cars by 2032. Currently, 80% of the city's vehicles would be banned under this rule, as many are older than Euro VI standards. Statistics show that 65% of registered cars in Romania are over 16 years old, highlighting the financial challenges citizens face in purchasing new vehicles. Ciucu emphasized the urgent need for action due to severe pollution levels in the capital, which exceed EU limits. Proposed measures include restricting older vehicles starting in 2027 and replacing outdated heating systems. A public debate was held to discuss these initiatives and their implications for public health.
