The Spanish Government has announced plans to introduce fiscal measures this year to discourage the purchase of diesel-engined cars, SUVs and other heavily-polluting private vehicles.
Full details have yet to be released but, according to ENDS, a Spanish newspaper quotes official sources saying that the vehicle tax on medium-sized engines would be raised from 7% to 12% and that a special 17% rate would be levied on engines over 2.5 litres.
Spain is struggling to meet its overall Kyoto carbon reduction target.
