One of the Largest Dutch Cities Tracks Europe’s Energy Transition and Will Ban Fossil Fuel Combustion Cars

Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands and the most populous city in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, will prohibit the circulation of gasoline and diesel cars and motorcycles starting in 2030.
The announcement was made by the Municipal Council of the Dutch capital this Thursday (2/5) and the measure aims to clean the air in the city, providing a healthier life for its inhabitants.

The Netherlands is globally known for the extensive use of bicycles in its cities, yet air pollution levels have remained above the limits set by European regulations in many areas of the country.
Amsterdam, being one of its most populous cities, has significantly contributed to these negative figures, especially due to heavy traffic in the city center and in the port area of Rotterdam.

Measures Adopted

The intention of the Amsterdam city government is to replace all gasoline and diesel engines with electric and hydrogen cars by the end of the next decade.

As of 2020, a measure will come into force that aims to ban diesel cars manufactured before 2005, and the trend is that the prohibition will gradually expand to cars from other production years.

To this end, the government intends to offer subsidies and parking permits so that the inhabitants of Amsterdam feel encouraged to exchange their cars for cleaner models.
However, this measure has been highly criticized by the Dutch automotive industry association, as it believes that poorer citizens cannot afford to change cars and will be excluded from city life.

It is worth noting that Madrid has already announced that it will prohibit access to the city for diesel and gasoline vehicles manufactured before 2000, and the city of Rome also plans to close the city center to diesel vehicles starting in 2024.
