Polish law allows Łódź to set up a Strefa Czystego Transportu, but the city has never introduced one, so nothing is enforced today. Had it launched, the plan on file described a 24/7 plate-based system with no physical sticker, exempting Euro 5+ petrol, Euro 6 diesel and electric vehicles. As things stand, any vehicle — regardless of age or fuel type — can drive through Łódź without a fine or a plate check.
