Morocco's Ministry of Transport and Logistics is working on a new mechanism that would impose fees on vehicle owners based on the pollution levels of their cars, according to a study published on September 21 by the German development agency GIZ. The report was prepared with the support of the ministry and the National Road Safety Agency.
The proposed system aims to discourage the use of highly polluting vehicles and encourage the adoption of cleaner transportation options. It is part of broader efforts to reduce air pollution and meet environmental targets.
Details on the fee structure, implementation timeline, and affected vehicle categories have not yet been finalized. The ministry has not announced a specific date for the program's launch.
Morocco has been increasing its focus on sustainable mobility, including incentives for electric vehicles and investments in public transit. The new pollution-based fee would add a financial disincentive for older, more polluting cars.
