Yes, Amsterdam also has it. No diesels from before 2001 I think is the rule. It's going to be implemented in other cities in NL as well. My dad got kind of screwed because he converted an old van into a camper, for traveling around, and now he won't be able to use it to get into cities anymore.
Of course it is objectively a good thing, especially when they implement the export restrictions so they won't all simply be offloaded to Africa.
- mercer 8y agoIt's already implemented in at least on other city (Utrecht), but only for the city center. As a diesel owner, it's a minor inconvenience whenever I visit the town. Most people I know live outside the zone.
- Symbiote 8y agoThere's an index to all the European cities with similar restrictions on http://urbanaccessregulations.eu/ http://urbanaccessregulations.eu/

Why export restrictions (especially to Africa) is a good thing? I think that it is quite opposite: * from looking at basic car sales statistics EV are basically non-existent in Africa, there is no infrastructure etc. (apart from fact that almost nobody could afford them) * 2000-ish cars are usually quite simple to repair, no advanced electronic etc. * producing new car probably will waste more resources and emit more pollution than using and repairing old one
