Hamburg, Germany, says it will begin restricting the use of older-tech diesel engines on two main avenues in the city on May 31.
The ban is the first in Germany after the country’s highest administrative court ruled that cities had the power to improve their air quality by limiting diesel usage and could impose driving limits immediately. At least two other German cities are contemplating similar restrictions.
The new rules will apply to cars and trucks with engines that don’t comply with Euro 6 emission rules. Bloomberg News says government data show that only 35% of the city’s 330,000 diesel-powered vehicle meet that standard.
Police will conduct random checks and levy fines of €25 for noncompliant cars and as much as €75 for trucks. The ban allows such vehicles to drive to destinations located along the two thoroughfares.
