France. Crit'air is gearing up in highly polluted major cities subject to LEZ, with accelerated calendars to comply with emissions regulations.
Mine is ranked tier 2 (EURO V petrol) and will be forbidden to drive starting January 2025.
The only ones allowed will be tier 1 (EURO VI petrol) and tier 0 (EV and PHEV).
There's no calendar yet for tier 1, but I'm sure as hell not going to buy a tier 1 car and find myself in the same spot of having a perfectly maintained and efficient car with a lot of mileage remaining that I can't resell or have to scrap in 3-5 years when (PH)EVs will be the only ones allowed.
