The Italian city of Milan introduced a "pollution charge" for drivers on Wednesday in an effort to cut smog levels, with light traffic ensuring the system suffered only a few teething troubles.
Launched as a one-year trial, the innovative "EcoPass" system will charge up to 10 euros per day, based on the amount of pollution a car's engine produces.
Northern cities Turin and Genoa are considering the introduction of a pollution fee for their city centres, while Rome will extend curbs on most-polluting vehicles from Jan. 10.
