a ban on driving in the city of s. and. there is one simple game you know it's a big problem for us how are we supposed to get to the construction sites to work we have to go to the site with our own vehicle and not all of us drive cars that run on petrol that's the problem that. there's the threat of diesel driving downs in eighteen districts of the city of essen the motorway a forty is also affected it's one of the most important traffic hubs in the rural area and least directly through as in city center. construction contractor functional job out and his coworkers write the eight forty several times a day that many of you if they really do close the a forty in the rural area there's going to be chaos out. the stricter environmental regulations are going to get expensive for german craftsman. diesel particularly cost us two new vehicles three or four years ago we had made an
