Vehicles designated as B will no longer be able to enter the Bilbao Low Emissions Zone (CSR) from this Monday, one year after the entry into force of the measure affecting vehicles A and unlabelled. During this period, air meters have detected a "decrease in polluting agents" and 3,000 fewer cars enter the city centre.
