From 1 October 2025, new entry bans for Euro 5 diesel vehicles will come into force in Italy. The restrictions will apply to cities with more than 30,000 population in four northern regions: Piedmont, Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna, and Veneto.
In Piedmont, the ban on Euro 5 diesel vehicles will begin on 1 October 2025 and last until 15 April 2026. In subsequent years, it will be in effect from 15 September to 15 April. The restrictions will apply on work days – Monday to Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
In Lombardy, the restrictions will apply throughout the year. From 1 October 2025, Euro 5 diesel vehicles will not be allowed to enter larger cities on weekdays between 7:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m., except on public holidays that fall on weekdays.
In Emilia-Romagna, the ban will also take effect on 1 October 2025 and last until 31 March each year. The restrictions will apply Monday to Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Veneto has announced the most severe restrictions – a total ban on Euro 5 diesel vehicles, seven days a week, 24 hours a day. These will also come into force on 1 October 2025. The exact zones covered by the ban are yet to be specified.
The new restrictions aim to help Italy comply with the requirements of the Court of Justice of the European Union and to improve public health.
