A number of cities remain on target to restrict internal combustion engines (ICEs), if not ban them from the road altogether. Paris is among the front-runners, with plans to outlaw diesel vehicles by 2024, and all ICEs including gasoline by 2030. At a time when demand for urban delivery is rising, particularly in the wake of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the implications for delivery fleets and commercial vehicle operators are serious, and several truck makers are already gunning to meet new requirements.
