Overview

• Starting October 1, 2025, Piedmont, Lombardy, Veneto, and Emilia-Romagna will implement bans on Euro-5 diesel vehicles to address air quality issues.
• The restrictions vary by region, with Piedmont enforcing seasonal weekday bans and Lombardy opting for permanent daily bans in specific municipalities.
• Violators face fines starting at €168, with repeat offenses potentially leading to a 15–30 day driver's license suspension.
• Piedmont offers a telematics-based 'Move-In' system allowing limited annual mileage in restricted zones, with installation costs covered by the region.
• Central and southern Italy, including Rome, remain less stringent, enforcing only Euro-4 diesel bans without comprehensive Euro-5 restrictions.
