However, the certificate for the Rolls Royce turned out to be fake. At the request of customs officials, the Kyiv Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Expertise of the Ministry of Justice concluded that the vintage car did not meet the Euro 2 environmental standard. According to experts, the average cost of similar cars is currently about UAH 1.2 million.
As EcoPolitic previously reported, the Verkhovna Rada has postponed the transition to Euro 6 for 2 years for trucks and buses.
