We live on the outskirts of Berlin near the Old Berlin Wall Border. Yesterday we visited the City Centre and the wife who has an Astma Problem and myself noticed the change in the Air Quality. OK the City is full of cars but when I think that in 2008 I had to sell a perfectly good Audi A6 Avant Diesel because there was no Audi Conversion Catolysator Kit available and it would have been banned from the City, it makes you wonder. That is when we converted to Nissan (Petrol) - Dave ;)

Found this from Nissan I suppose pushing the E-Cars, it might be of interest :

This subject of Pollution from Diesels does not appear to be going away there appears to be more and more press on this subject. The reason I took a look at these is because here in Germany the question of Diesels is a Topic again. In Stuttgart in Oct. new Diesel Registrations dropped by 19,5% compared to the month before and in another local area Böblingen where many workers travel to the City the figure was 34,3%. The reason is that there is talk again of Banning vehicles entering the City, whether it happens or not is to be seen. Because of the proposed plan of banning vehicles in cities in 2025 there is feedback that the world market at that time for Diesels will be only 4% where as now it is 13,5%.
I hope this is of interest to all as it is appearing to be a major issue more and more - Dave ;)

Here are just a couple of examples to read :
