Euro 5 diesel cars, the Chamber approves the decree that postpones the ban in the Po Valley: what changes

The Italian Chamber of Deputies approved a decree postponing the restrictions on Euro 5 diesel vehicles until October 1, 2027. This measure affects the regions of Piedmont, Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna, and Veneto. The government had previously intervened to delay the implementation of these restrictions, which were initially set for October 1, 2026. The decree allows these regions to either introduce earlier restrictions or implement alternative measures to reduce pollutants. The vehicles impacted are Euro 5 diesel cars and commercial vehicles, which were registered between 2011 and 2015, and produce higher emissions compared to newer models.
