The Sweden’s capital upcoming low-emission zone will only permit use of electric cars and gas cars that meet the Euro 6 emission standards. Euro 6 plug-in hybrid heavy vehicles will also be permitted. The zone is in effect 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Violating the rules of the zone is a traffic offence which can result in a police fine of SEK 1,000, i.e. roughly €85.
Air pollution in the city of Stockholm has been a long-standing problem. Medical research shows that children living near Stockholm streets with high emissions have reduced lung function from as early as six months of age.
The photo is misleading; it is of a pedestrianised square in the Old Town, an area of medieval cobbled streets where cars are restricted to a few roads around the perimeter. The low emission zone will not be in the Old Town but in Norrmalm, to the north of it and across the water.
Well it pairs with the misleading headline saying “petrol & diesel cars banned” and then the first sentence of the article says Euro6 ICE are allowed.
I don’t think this media is a very reliable source
