The United Arab Emirates have released a decree that prohibits the sale of any vehicle older than ten years, and the circulation of those more than 20 years old. This is a strong position, motivated by the need to increase road safety and help the environment, with a hopeful side effect being the increased use of public transport.

A market statistic has revealed that inside two years, a third of the cars circulating on arab roads will be ten years old. In the seven nations that form the Arab Emirates, 1.85 million vehicles are on the road, with one of the highest car-population ratios in the world. While it’s only a niche market, we wonder what they’ll do with the supercars and luxury cars in time.
