Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala said
Friday the northern city would soon ban "the most polluting'
diesel vehicles.
"We're going to start now because it will be a four-year
process the citizens will have to get used to," he said.
"It's a step we believe we can take now."
Sala said diesel vehicles 0,1,2 and 3 will be halted from
January 21.
"Our philosophy is not bans but accompanying citizens," he
said.
"Sala has shown he is a brave mayor, attentive to the health
of his citizens," said Greenpeace Italia transport campaign
chief Andrea Boraschi.
Boraschi asked for similar bans in Roma, Turin and Palermo.
