The battle for the free circulation of historic cars in Rome also sees the Lazio regionwhich wants to establish acomplete exemption for those equipped with CRS.
Historic cars Rome ZTL Fascia Verde
With the aim of reducing pollution in Rome, Mayor Gualtieri has planned a series of bans within the Fascia Verde ZTL which November 2024 will block diesel vehicles until Euro 4. Contrary to what was decided by State Council and from TAR of Laziothe restriction of movement in the Green Belt, which includes a large part of the municipal territory, it also involves historic cars.
The ordinance currently in force from 1 November 2023 to 31 March 2024 prohibits the access and circulation of certified vehicles of historical and collectible interest from Monday to Saturday, excluding holidays.
One is planned limited exemption for historic cars it allows circulation only from 8.00pm on Friday to 12.00am on Saturdayand this exemption applies only to vehicles of historical interest already in possession of the Certificate of Historical Relevance at the time the provision came into force. There are no exemptions for participation in events or for the maintenance of historic vehicles.
Green Zone ZTL ban
The Fascia Verde ZTL prohibits access to cars petrol up to Euro 2to diesel up to Euro 3 and for them motorcycles up to Euro 1. The area identified by the Municipality of Rome borders the railway ring and the Grande Raccordo Anulare north-east of the city, between via Flaminia and via Salaria, and to the south, between via Ardeatina and via Appia Nuova.
According to MTCT data, in the territory of the metropolitan city of Rome there are just over 4 million (4,040,078) and the historical ones are just under ten thousand (9.945), i.e. lo 0.25% of the totalwhich runs annually 0.014% of kilometers traveled by everyday vehicles (as reported by the FIVA census and insurance company data).
There are almost 57 million vehicles in circulation in Italy and, of these, those over twenty years old are approximately 16 million. The emissions from these vehicles are minimal and the Rome ordinance, in addition to penalizing the owners, risks eliminating the activity of a sector which represents a very important driving force, not only of culture and passion, but also of economy (the national related industries exceed 2.5 billion euros per year).
Lazio region against the stop
In response to the resolution of the Municipality of Rome, the Lazio Council has put forward a proposal which will now be examined by the Council to derogate the classic vehicles of interest historical and collectibleas well as mopeds over thirty years old equipped with Certificate of Historical Relevance (CRS). Previously, the TAR of Lazio had accepted the appeals of some historical associations, including the ASI, canceling the limitations on the circulation of vintage vehicles imposed by the Lazio Region and the Capitoline Council with sentence n.15408/2023 of 18 October last.
According to the TAR, vintage vehicles are few and far between their use is limited, therefore they deserve more flexible treatment. Initially, the Capitol had considered limited access for historic vehicles, but the Lazio Region now wants to establish acomplete exemption for those equipped with CRS.
