Romania possesses the second-oldest vehicle fleet in the European Union, with cars averaging 16.5 years old, according to a 2Celsius report. The issue stems not only from the prevalence of used car purchases but also from the extended lifespan of these older, polluting vehicles. This aging fleet contributes to increased air and noise pollution across the country. Consequently, the older cars also present a heightened risk of road accidents. The report highlights the negative impact of this situation on public health and environmental quality. Addressing this issue requires policies promoting vehicle renewal and discouraging the continued use of highly polluting cars.
