Spain could be the first country to ban gasoline and diesel cars

Internal combustion engines using petroleum derivatives (diesel or naphtha) as fuel are one of the main enemies of the environment. Although there are anti-pollution standards, each time it is more rigorous regarding the authorized CO2 levels, governments in Europe seem to have declared the
war and want to extinguish this technology that poisons the planet.

In this direction Spain could become the first country to ban diesel if the new law on climate change and energy transition is approved, in which various plans are envisaged to reduce polluting emissions.

The project, to be submitted to the Spanish Congress in February, envisages the creation of a law prohibiting the sale and circulation of internal combustion vehicles. First, in 2025, diesel vehicles would be vetoed, in 2040 all internal combustion vehicles would be shut down, and finally in 2050 would be banned for its use.

Other less drastic measures to reduce pollutant emissions are in effect. For example, in Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, France or the United Kingdom, certain types of vehicles are excluded in some central areas of major cities.

Incentives are another way used to encourage the purchase of "green" vehicles. For example, in Great Britain, 1.69 million euros will be allocated to incentives for the purchase of electric cars. In addition, low emission zones have been established in which tolls are levied only on older vehicles.
