Prague to Enforce Stricter Euro 6d Emissions for Taxis from 2027

Prague Unveils Plan to Tackle Environmental Stewardship

The Czech Republic's efforts to address climate change are taking center stage as Prague prepares to implement stricter Euro 6d emissions standards on its taxi fleet from August 2027. The city aims to improve air quality and set an example for other cities around the world.

The new regulations will require taxis to meet Euro 6d emissions standards, which are more stringent than the current Euro 6 emissions standard. Operators will have until August 2027 to transition to compliant vehicles, with penalties for non-compliance. Estimates suggest that up to 80% of Prague's taxi fleet will need to switch to cleaner models within the next five years.

The impact of the new regulations is expected to be significant, with a reduction in air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Cities like Paris, London, and Beijing have implemented similar regulations to reduce their carbon footprint. The adoption of autonomous vehicles is also part of a broader global trend, which has the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation, making it an attractive solution for cities seeking to transition to cleaner models.
