PARIS - Drivers of older cars in Paris and its suburbs will have a bit more breathing room before the vehicles are largely banned as part of anti-pollution efforts, with the latest crackdown now set

to come into force only next year.

The move was spearheaded by Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, who is playing up her green credentials as the Socialist Party candidate to challenge Emmanuel Macron in the looming presidential election. On July 1, the ban on older cars in the greater Paris region was to be extended to Crit'air Class 3 vehicles, which include all gasoline-engine cars made before January 2006 - and all diesel-engine cars from before 2011.

However"the next stage for the Low-Emission Zone... has been postponed to at least 2023," the Paris Metropolitan Authority said late Tuesday.
