A new bill proposed by the ruling Civic Platform would allow municipal authorities to create low-emission zones in order to stop the most polluting vehicles from entering city centres.

The proposition means that cars would be classed into four ‘eco-groups’, sorted according to age and emissions, with each car gaining a coloured sticker much along the lines of Germany’s current ‘Umweltzone’ environmental sticker system.

The move would hit owners of older diesel cars, as the proposal would ban all diesel vehicles manufactured before 1997 from entering the zones, while cars built between 1997 and 2001 would only gain access to certain areas of a given city. (jb)
