UThe package of measures approved this morning by Palazzo Marino also contains the postponement of the ban on motorbikes defined as “polluting” from accessing Area B and Area C of Milana ban that should have come into force from 1 October 2024.
This ban had generated opposition and doubts, also channeled into demonstrations aimed at creating a dialogue with the city institutions to try to obtain, at least, an exemption. Exemption that has now arrived: he comes postponed to 1 October 2025 the entry into force of the ban on access and circulation in Area B and Area C for motorbikes and mopeds fueled by mixture (two-stroke engine) Euro 2, diesel fuel Euro 2 and petrol (four-stroke engine) Euro 2 0 to Euro 1.
Furthermore, on the automotive side, there is an opening on Euro 6 Diesels with the same ban which is postponed to 31 September 2028.
Land reasons are reported in a note from Palazzo Marino: “The decision was made by taking into consideration, on the one hand, the changed economic context, the growth of prices in the automotive market and the related social cost for citizens and, on the other, the progress in technological innovation that did not achieve the expected results“.
TOEven the European delay on the approval of the Euro 7 Regulation weighed on the decision of the Municipality of Milan: “The choice takes into consideration the investment costs that citizens and businesses must bear also in relation to the postponement of the Parliament Regulation and of the European Council on the approval of Euro 7 motor vehicles approved in March this year and its expected implementation dates, from which it can be estimated that the obligation to first register only Euro 7 cars can only take place starting from the end of 2027 and larger vehicles (M2, M3, N2 and N3) of the same Euro category starting from mid-2029″.
