Published November 14, 2026. Checked against the Comune di Milano's Area C page on November 10, 2026 and against MyAreaC on November 14, 2026.
From October 1, 2027, Milan's Area C will ban two-stroke and diesel motorcycles and mopeds of Euro 2 and Euro 3, and four-stroke petrol ones of Euro 0, Euro 1 and Euro 2. Until then they can enter, and for free: motorcycles and mopeds pay no Area C ticket, except the ones already banned, which may not enter at all.
Euro classes are EU emission standards: the lower the number, the older the standard.
| Engine | Banned now | Banned from October 1, 2027 |
|---|---|---|
| Two-stroke | Euro 0 and Euro 1 | Euro 2 and Euro 3 |
| Diesel | Euro 0 and Euro 1 | Euro 2 and Euro 3 |
| Four-stroke petrol | None | Euro 0, Euro 1 and Euro 2 |
The MyAreaC portal has not been updated: its news page and its English page still give October 1, 2026 for these classes.
The 2027 date comes from the Area C page of the Comune di Milano (the City of Milan), last updated on October 15, 2026. For the three groups banned from 2027, it says in Italian: “Sarà posticipata al 1° ottobre 2027 l’entrata in vigore del divieto ambientale” (our translation: “the entry into force of the environmental ban will be postponed to October 1, 2027”). Among its 2026 legal references, the same page lists Deliberazione di Giunta Comunale n. 140 of February 12, 2026, Ordinanza n. 373 of February 17, 2026 and Determina Dirigenziale n. 1856 of March 13, 2026.
