"As much as I would welcome avoiding such bans, I think it is just as unlikely that we can continue to do without bans in the future," Munich mayor Dieter Reiter was quoted as saying by the Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper on Wednesday.
"However, the city of Stuttgart, home of Mercedes-Benz and VW's Porsche subsidiary, is already preparing to ban some diesel vehicles from next year which do not meet the latest emission standards."

“It’s when, not if, diesel cars are banned from London,” says Dan Powell, managing editor of motoring website HonestJohn. “The particulate filters that clean up the exhausts need to be driven for at least 15 miles to work properly. How many inner-city drivers do that?”

diesel exhaust is highly toxic and must be banned by law. it's worse than smoking cigarettes, but not regulated properly at all. this site tries to encourage people to get active und speak out against the misleading 'clean diesel'-campaign run by the fossil-fuel based automotive industry and the diesel-fuel suppliers. 'clean diesel' must be considered to be a fraudulent claim!
