Paris bans old diesels to tackle pollution
Paris yesterday banned all diesel vehicles aged 13 years or over from the city centre. Diesel vehicles over 18 years old and petrol vehicles over 21 years old are already banned in Paris. Central Paris meanwhile went further by also banning diesel cars, trucks and motorbikes aged 13 years and over -- a move aimed at cleaning up the air in a city that is regularly shrouded in smog.
Motorists who flout the traffic restrictions in central Paris, which were trialled during last week’s heatwave, face a 68- euro ($77) fine, rising to 135 euros for trucks and buses.
