eight countries across Europe operate or are preparing to implement Low Emission Zones (LEZs).
This year, the German cities of Berlin, Cologne, Hannover, Stuttgart and Mannheim have all introduced LEZs, while in Sweden, Gothenburg, Lund, Malmo and Stockholm have come up with anti-pollution zones.
Around 50 LEZs currently exist in Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, and Sweden, while Tokyo has had one since October 2003.
A publicly funded website (www.lowernissionzones.eu), run by a network of cities and authorities operating or preparing LEZs, gives up-todate information on LEZs, such as which cities have LEZs, the vehicle types affected, the required emissions standards and their application dates.
