TO Rome in the new ZTL Green Zone The circulation of Pre-Euro 1, Euro 1 and Euro 2 and Euro 3 diesel and petrol cars is prohibited from Monday to Saturday. This category also includes historic carseffectively banned forever since Romeeven if in possession of regular Historical certification. The Capitoline Administration led by Roberto Gualtieri in the last one ordinance no. 115 of 31 October 2023 has only provided for a small exception which allows the use only of vehicles of historical interest already equipped with a Certificate of Historical Relevance from 8.00 pm on Friday to 12.00 pm on Saturday.
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 metropolitan city of Rome there are just over 1,000 daily vehicles in circulation 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).
ASI appeals to the TAR
L’ASI together with the Historical Registers of the car manufacturers Alfa Romeo, Fiat and Lanciafiled a second appeal to TAR in relation to the ban on the circulation of historic cars in the Fascia Verde ZTL. According to the Italian Association for the protection of classic vehicles, in all the derogation proposals presented, absolute freedom of circulation for historic vehicles was not requested.
ASI has always and only requested dedicated regulations for such vehicles, if they are in possession of a specific certification registered in the vehicle registration document and therefore traceable by the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure. These proposals would not have allowed the use of historic vehicles as everyday vehiclesthus avoiding traffic congestion in Rome and ensuring compliance with anti-pollution rules.
“The sector in Rome is in crisis – the alarm raised by President of ASI Alberto Scuro – historic vehicles are no longer purchased by those who live in Rome but only sold to those who live in territories where their use is regulated differently, in Italy and abroad. A senseless impoverishment. In this state of uncertainty, the supply chain of activities connected to them is on its knees. This is a measure that does not overcome any of the reasons for censure promoted against the previous measures and which does not respect the ruling of the Regional Administrative Court for Lazio, which reiterates the undoubted specificity that the law already recognizes for vehicles of interest historical and collectible.
Furthermore, there is no evidence that the restrictions on the circulation of historic vehicles have a concrete impact on the objective of reducing polluting components: the evidence, if anything, goes in the opposite direction and the traffic-limiting measures issued certainly cannot be considered proportional to reality. We were confident that the latest provision would take into account the unequivocal rulings of the TAR but this did not happen. Sorry – concludes President Dark – that we are unable to make the Mayor and the members of the Capitoline Assembly understand that our proposals are balanced and the result of common sense. We were therefore forced, against our will, to present a new appeal together with the Alfa Romeo, Fiat and Lancia Historical Registers.”
