Good to know...
All current driving bans and further information are available in our Green-Zones App.
Cleaner air through driving
A new technology could soon use cars as mobile air filters. These would clean the city air while driving and could thus prevent impending diesel driving bans.
Eco-lanes en masse
The French bus and taxi lanes are to be opened to all electric motorbikes in future. The aim is to encourage more people to buy electric vehicles.
The end of plug-in hybrids is approaching
High subsidies for plug-in hybrids will soon only be available for vehicles that can drive at least 60 km in pure electric mode. This could mean an end to the hype surrounding these vehicles in Germany.
Stuttgart: Diesel driving bans on the brink of extinction?
Last year, nitrogen oxide levels in the Neckar valley remained below the limit value for the first time. The plaintiffs, who have been campaigning for better air for years, see this as only a partial success, however. The readings could, however, have an impact on driving bans in the city.
Lawsuit against Lyon Low Emission Zone
Only five days after tightening the rules in the Lyon Low Emission Zone, a class action lawsuit has been filed against the measures. The distinction between private individuals and traders disregards the equal rights of citizens. This could mean the end of the tightening in one of the dirtiest cities in France.
Luxembourg: Mobility change without driving bans
The free public transport service and the expansion of the light rail system make the use of public transport more attractive. Other offers help citizens to leave their cars behind. Driving bans are therefore unnecessary.
Berlin not prepared for e-cars
The city expects a significant increase in e-cars. But there is a lack of charging stations and models for the middle class.
Brussels slows down motorists
Driving in the Belgian capital should no longer be fun. The speed limit in the entire city centre is the first step to deter drivers and significantly reduce traffic.
New Year's Eve fireworks are a fine dust bomb
Due to the ban on the sale of firecrackers and fireworks, the fine dust pollution on New Year's Eve will probably be significantly lower this year than in previous years. Environmental organisations would like to see a permanent ban in order to reduce the harmful emissions.
Hamburg: Battle over driving bans continues
The CDU parliamentary group wants an immediate end to diesel driving bans. The environmental authority is reviewing the measure first, but is also evaluating some road sections for new driving bans. At the same time, more and more streets are being declared car-free zones.
