Pre 2011 Car Ban In Paris

[MikeLane]

Just heard that the French Government wishes to impose a ban on cars manufactured before 2011 from entering Paris.

As one can imagine, the French public is protesting!! Amongst other things car owners affected are asking the Government to indemnify them against reduced trade-in values.

think the whole world will be anti car soon with only electric vehicles being allowed in any town center

Don't the French government have a share in PSA, this may be a ruse to improve new car sales and give a boost to the economy and reduce health costs.

[MikeLane]

The government may re-introduce the scrappage scheme to increase new car sales as Paul says. It's probably a ruse to get around EU rules!

Don't the French government have a share in PSA,

They do! Together with China's Dongfeng Group, they both took a 13% share in the PSA company. That was inspite of EU regulations which forbids member Governments from supporting a company which is in competition with other similar companies.
