Flux: EnglishData: 18.06. 17:39

Agerpres – National News Agency: Current news with reliable information for a well-informed society. At the same time, the summit addressed institutional and technical perspectives supported by representatives of the Iasi City Hall, CTP Iasi, the Iasi Metropolitan Public Transport Association (AMTI), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the TUSMC Federation, the Romanian Association for Smart Cities, as well as experts and partners involved in the financing, planning and modernization of public transport. On this occasion, the mayor of Iasi, Mihai Chirica, drew attention to the fact that Romania continues to have an aging car fleet, with direct effects on air quality and population health. 'Since 2016, we have been saying that we are becoming the garbage dump of cars in Europe. Now we see on the streets an extremely outdated car fleet with extremely serious pollution levels for the health of the population, but also a population that is getting sick at an accelerated rate for this reason. And this is not due to local authorities, but to national authorities who did not know how to say 'stop'. The electrification of the car fleet represents a desire that the European Commission transmitted before 2015 and very clearly outlined the paths to the member states regarding the modernization of the car fleet. We worked for this with our means. The state had to work with its means regarding the imports of polluting cars, finding solutions for the modernization of the car fleet, creating much more viable financing schemes than the 'rubbish' program, so that the car fleet becomes even more modern and more electrified. We are facing a traffic that is on the rise, because the car fleet rate is still dominated by old cars, below the Euro4 norm', declared Mayor Chirica.
