Stockholm to ban all petrol and diesel cars from city centre
At the end of next year Stockholm will ban all petrol and diesel cars from an area covering 20 blocks in the city centre
The Sweden's capital upcoming low-emission zone will only permit use of electric cars and gas cars that meet the Euro 6 emission standards. Euro 6 plug-in hybrid heavy vehicles will also be permitted. The zone is in effect 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Violating the rules of the zone is a traffic offence which can result in a police fine of SEK 1,000, i.e. roughly €85.
Air pollution in the city of Stockholm has been a long-standing problem. Medical research shows that children living near Stockholm streets with high emissions have reduced lung function from as early as six months of age.

Does Sweden have separate rules for "historic vehicles"? I'm asking because in Germany all cars registered as such are allowed to enter these restricted zones regardless of their emission standard.
Same in the UK. I can’t drive through Oxford’s zero emission zone in my wife’s Euro 6 VW Golf without a fine, but I can in my 1967 carburetted Beetle…
Good to know that I can bring my car on holiday then :D
