German cities ban dirty old cars, Paris goes elect
17 January 2008
The city administrations of Berlin, Cologne and Hanover have set up 'environmental zones' in their downtown districts - and cars that exceed an emissions limit are banned from entering. Car owners will have to apply for special stickers proving that their vehicles meet the emissions standards, and fines will be imposed on cars caught inside the zone without the stickers. Further German cities are considering similar schemes.
