The leaders of four major global cities say they will stop the use of all cars and trucks made before 1999 by 2020
The mayors of Paris, Mexico City, Madrid and Birmingham say they are implementing the ban to improve air quality.
They say they will give incentives for alternative vehicle use and promote walking and cycling.
The commitments were made in Mexico at a biennial meeting of city leaders.
The use of cars as transport has come under increasing scrutiny in recent years, as concerns about its impact on air quality have grown. The World Health Organization (WHO) says that around three million deaths every year are linked to exposure to outdoor air pollution.

But what are the plans on pre-99 diesels, like in busses + trucks? They do not emit daisy smell either?! Pretty sure they are covered by the "all cars and trucks"... |

No doubt the cost (especially in the UK) will be passed on to Joe Public in the locale, most buses around Chester are pre 2000 but have euro 5 engines fitted.

I thought Birmingham was banning all diesels made before 1999 not all cars/trucks/buses?

For anyone not British, the 1st of April is a day when people play practical jokes on each other, winds ups etc.

Your post 'educated' people about April Fool's Day, my post educated you about April Fool's Day. Ergo, my post added as much as yours. Cheer up, buttercup. |

Would it be easier to just ban Birmingham? That way nobody would have to drive through it.

Otago Daily Times had a front page article stating that Dunedin City Council had passed a bylaw requiring all horses used on public roads to be fitted with brake lights and indicators.
