Going green: the impact of low-carbon zones on European cities
The DFS explores the impact of low emission zones (LEZs) on the continental fuel landscape in the coming years. Also read: Lessons from ports: How to seek $3 billion in zero-emission subsidies from the US Signs displaying the latest Low Emission Zone (LEZ) guidelines have become a common sight in Europe’s urban areas, with 320 LEZs currently in place across the continent and expected to reach 500 by 2025. The system has been praised for improving the city’s air quality, reducing overall road traffic, and boosting the local economy. According to the latest statistics, Italy leads the way with 172 low-emission zones established nationwide, followed by Germany with 78. Meanwhile, most countries are still in the early stages, with fewer than 20 low-emission zones each. But will this change in the future? Fuel supply company Dover Fueling Solutions (DFS) explores the impact and explains how Low Emission Zones (LEZs) could change the continent’s fuel supply landscape in the coming years.…
