Many European capitals have restrictions on gasoline and diesel cars, but Strömgren says Stockholm’s complete ban would be a first.
“We need to eliminate the harmful exhaust gases from (gasoline) and diesel cars.
The mayor of Paris wanted to ban all diesel cars before next year’s Olympics, and gasoline cars by 2030, but has run up against resistance.
Currently, any diesel cars built before 2006 and gasoline cars built before 1997 are banned in Paris and 77 surrounding towns for 12 hours a day on weekdays.
The ban will expand in 2025 for diesel cars built before 2011 and pre-2006 gasoline vehicles.
