In some places, this is not an option. I have a mechanical Euro-5 car without sim card nor infotainment system that I would not be able to use where I live by end 2024.

Welcome to the EU and its low-emissions zones that span over many of its big cities.



Retrofit, that's what I'm planning to do.

Haven't looked into it a great deal yet because there's still plenty of time where I live, but I believe it's possible to get old cars to an emission standard that's compliant. It's not cheap, since it involves replacing the entire engine, but I'd still rather spend money on that than a new car.


What? Besides Euro-5 emissions restricting access to cities in places, thoae cars are, will be, perfectly road legal in Europe...


I have a 2016 Euro 6 car that has no tracking.


What happens at the end of 2024 that your car won’t operate?


Emissions standards change, from the sound of it.


Fake news?
