Car Fule

Are EPZs in danger? If we can’t really say that yet, it has to be said that they no longer really have the wind in their sails, it must be admitted. Indeed, while the government wants all cities with more than 150,000 inhabitants to become ZFEs from 2025, this measure would be increasingly compromised. Indeed, many elected officials are protesting like these low emission zones, from which the oldest cars are simply excluded. This could lead to a real “social bomb” according to some.

Attention ! Since 2015 and the appearance of Crit’Air vignettes, traffic restrictions apply to certain vehicles in large cities. Do we take stock together? 🚙 #MonProjetPlusResponsable

A postponed ban

In Marseilles as in the Senate, we are indeed beginning to rebel against the government. And the movement still continues, while the Metropolis of Greater Paris also wishes to review its plans. Initially, it was planned that all cars with a vignette Crit’Air 3 be excluded from the EPZ from July 1, 2023. But that could eventually change. In any case, this is what Patrick Ollier, the current president of the Métropole du Grand Paris, wants. The latter spoke with Le Parisien in order to express himself on the subject and which proposes a report.

After the Olympics

Asked by our colleagues, he indeed proposed “ elected officials to maintain the July 2023 deadline for the implementation of a new ban on polluting cars in the Ile-de-France ZFE or the postpone after the Olympics“. This would postpone the entry into force of the measure to 2024, or even 2025. A short reprieve for the motorists concerned, who would be more than 380,000 to be banned from the Metropolis of Greater Paris if the Crit’Air 3 sticker was prohibited.
