In Europe , cities are outpacing laws and national regulations to cut traffic pollution.

In total, 35 cities have committed to introducing “ zero emissions zones’ — where diesel and gasoline-powered vehicles will be banned.

In Oslo , Norway ’s widespread adoption of electric cars has also helped reduce smog.

In March , the mayor’s office released data suggesting that ULEZ had a positive impact on air quality.

In particular the change has cut emissions of nitrogen oxides by between 33% and 39% .

Almost 97% of vehicles driven within the zone are now compliant with the emissions standards.
