Is that fair?

In Madrid since July 1, a parking system of power where the principle of ‘the polluter pays’ applies. Also in the Spanish capital is registered and parked, with the automatic transmission is connected to the Spanish ROAD. This conjures the age and emissions of the car out, and determines, on the basis of this the cost of parking. Of course, given the director of a new, fuel-efficient car and a better price than one that an old barrel rides.

The measure must be the pollution in the centre tegendringen, but the question is, whether the variable cost of parking there really is a contribution to supplies. The margins amount to only 20% to the top and to the bottom, so really large differences is not the case. You may see this more in Spain, in Málaga is parking cheaper for electric cars, but this will save only 10 cents per hour:

But perhaps it encourages People to be more fuel-efficient cars to buy, as so’n only 174 grams of emission Megane RS that their police also has, for example. Thanks to an incentive from the government, the car sales in Spain in any case particularly well. In June, there were 24% more new cars sold.

Completely without a hitch are not with the new parking meters. The local government admits that there are ‘some problems‘ have occurred. (via Green 7)
