“Euro 5 Petrol Cars: When Will They Be Banned? Exceptions and Restrictions Explained”

Let’s see what will happen with regard to Euro 5 petrol cars. The goal is to ensure greater environmental sustainability

Over time, cars become not only more obsolete, but also more polluting. Vehicles built 20-30 years ago by force of circumstances introduce more gases that are harmful to the environment and for this reason over time they have been cataloged according to the degree of pollution of their emissions.

We start from scratch and get to cars Euro 6. The mechanism is simple, the higher the number, the lower the degree of danger to the environment. In many areas and in many cities there are real bans which are followed by penalties in case of violation.

Euro 5 petrol cars: from when the stop is foreseen and in which cases exceptions can be made

Here we will focus on cars Euro 5 petrol for which a particular prohibition has been triggered. Let’s see what it is and what information is useful about it. Going specifically to Milano cars marked with the Euro 5 indication will be able to circulate in the Milanese capital until September 2030.

To be even clearer, it concerns zone C, which from 30 September 2030 will be off-limits for Euro 5 cars. In zone B, however, the stop for petrol cars currently only concerns cars Euro 4.

Different speech regarding Roma. The capital is even more busy and inhabited than Milan, but progress is still slow under this point. At present in the green belt and in the limited traffic areas cars cannot circulate up to Euro 2. If the pollution indexes worsen, the scenario could change.

One could resort to extraordinary measures to increase the limits or opt for solutions such as ecological Sundays which prohibit transit up to Euro 6. Clearly there is always a time limit, which is why it is always advisable to take the indications of the competent authorities on the matter as a reference.

Either way it would be time to start considering buying electric vehicles, which increasingly represent the future. Unfortunately however in Italia you have to deal with prices that are still too high and with inefficient structures like in other countries. For example, the columns to recharge them are still difficult to find within a few kilometers and especially in very large cities this can represent an insurmountable obstacle to say the least.
