The mayors? So what?
My turbo Mercedes diesel has none of those problems
The health benefits will be enormous. Have to applaud intelligent regulatory decisions, where an inconvenience to a few improves the lives of millions.
I rented a diesel Opel Corsa 5 door in Italy this past October — that was a great engine! Drove all over the place and I was shocked I only used 8 gallons of fuel. Too bad we can’t get them here.
Pretty sure semi-trailers are all diesel. Cost of crap in those cities is going to skyrocket.
Modern Diesel engines are not like the ones I grew up with - no black or gray smoke; they smell like burnt vegetable oil; they require an exhaust lubricant which if it runs out shuts the engine down.
All totally ridiculous.
It’s mexico. Just bribe the right cops, enforcers,licence plate bureau drones, and your problem goes away.
So what is the plan? Natural Gas trucks? Fuel Cell trucks? I would like to know. Not all diesel is dirty fuel and diesel cars get high gas mileage. On top of that, diesel is less reactive than gasoline is.
Municipal buses will be exempt...
The higher energy density of diesel also means that burning a gallon of diesel emits more greenhouse gases than burning a gallon of gasoline—about 15 percent more, to be specific. But due to the appreciable fuel-economy savings of deisel, diesel cars usually emit less of these gases per mile driven. The Union of Concerned Scientists, who did this study, recommends that estmates of fuel use be revised so a diesel vehicle’s miles-per-gallon rating go downward by 20 percent in order to get a more accurate picture of the overall impact on oil consumption.
Plainly speaking, because of the less use of deisel due to mileage offsets, less is consumed and put back into the air. Gasoline enginers side by side produce higher emission problems.

In short, the European cities didn't take the route of Japan and eventually USA, where taxis and many buses switched to clean-burning compressed natural gas to reduce air pollution. I wouldn't be surprised that you'll see all taxis in Europe switch to fueled by CNG over the next 10-15 years.
Banning diesels to make people walk and drive bicycles is discriminatory to the disabled. Maybe these bunglecrats need to walk everywhere they want to go also.
Diesel engines and propane engines are the only ones for allowed underground and indoors work.
No diesel vehicles equal no food, wine, beer, fast food delivery.
Paris has enough problems with its illegals and should not be worrying about some diesel fumes as per the Youtube video of Paris Streets in 2016.
The Youtube video belows shows what happened to Paris, a sanctuary city in France. In 2017, this horrible scene will be replicated in America’s sanctuary cities, when our illegals flock to our sanctuary cities, which will welcome them.

Just got rid of my F250. Truck great, engine fine, constant irritating and expensive emissions problems that were only going to get worse. The emissions reduction system is so complicated I don’t see how any of them work.
THIS IS UNAMERICAN!
