The City Hall of Paris has voted to ban the sale of diesel at gas stations in the capital starting October 1, 2024.
Good news is piling up in Paris where cars are clearly at the center of all the grievances from Mayor Anne Hidalgo. Following the speed limit reduction to 50 km/h on the ring road, the tripling of parking fees for heavy vehicles, and the implementation of parking payment for electric vehicles, here comes another decision that has gone completely unnoticed: the prohibition for gas stations in Paris to sell diesel. In the near future, unleaded gasoline will also face the same fate. Patience.
This ban specifically affects TotalEnergies stations at the Porte d’Orléans, Aubervilliers, and Quai d’Issy-les-Moulineaux, which have had their concession contracts modified. The argument raised is, of course, that of air quality, forcing affected drivers to head out to the suburbs to refuel.
The strategy to discourage drivers takes many forms in Paris.
