Diesel Trucks Will Be Banned in Seoul By 2025 to Help with Air Pollution

Grade 4 diesel vehicles, the second-lowest in the country’s five-tier emissions standard, will be banned from Seoul’s central areas starting 2025.  
   
In addition, village buses, delivery motorbikes and trucks will all go electric by 2026.  
   
Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon unveiled a comprehensive plan to improve air quality of his megacity dubbed Clearer Seoul 2030 on Wednesday. It’s a major part of the Korean capital’s ambition to be one of the top 10 greenest cities in the world.

Electric trucks will replace them.

The electricity will be generated by filthy Indonesian coal, also known as Clean Coal for Green and Happy Life.
