Authorities in Paris are taking drastic action to get rid of diesel cars in the French capital as the country's pollution problems spiral. The city council has announced strict policies to persuade residents to use other types of transport, in a move that could be copied by other major European cities.

People increasingly expect the way they travel to be convenient and smart, as the success of businesses like Uber illustrates. Now, car parts supplier Bosch has launched an electric scooter sharing service in Berlin, pushing into the on-demand transport space with an eco-friendly offering.

Germany may be renowned for its high-quality cars, but not everyone in the nation wants to own a petrol-powered vehicle. Catering to these individuals, Emmy has introduced red and green e-scooters to the streets of Berlin, giving people an eco-friendly way to get around the city.

Pollution is at the front of people's minds in Paris. In an attempt to combat it, authorities are introducing 'Crit’Air' anti-pollution stickers – which indicate how eco-friendly a vechile is. Starting July 1st, all motorists in Paris and its suburbs will be required to display these stickers.
