The Euro 7 car regulation promises cleaner air but raises critical questions about economic accessibility for average citizens.

The episode opens with Pierluigi Bonora introducing the day's main topic: potential revisions to the Green Deal and the implementation of Euro 7 car regulations. He immediately frames Euro 7 as having dual implications - promising cleaner air while raising critical questions about economic accessibility to the market. Bonora then introduces his guest, Emidio Paci, who runs the website tuttautomotive.it and works as a personal car shopper. The conversation focuses on what will happen when Euro 7 comes into force in November 2026. Paci explains that registrations for existing cars will need to comply with the new regulation, and new cars will clearly have to meet Euro 7 standards. He predicts a 10-point impact because the previous Euro 6 regulation made pollution avoidable but didn't solve cost problems. Bonora describes the situation as 'the dog biting its tail' since Brussels is trying to put electric cars on the market with competitive prices, while current engines including diesel are already environmentally respectful. The host repeats his concern about lack of clarity dominating in 2026, suggesting this will come at the expense of Italy's and Europe's vehicle fleets. He notes that vehicle fleets are getting older, more insecure, and dirtier. Both acknowledge that when plans are made years in advance, variations often make implementation difficult. The episode concludes with Bonora thanking Paci for his expertise and mentioning an upcoming evening segment about solidarity and inclusion in the automotive sector.
