The Sweden's capital upcoming low-emission zone will only permit use of electric cars and gas cars that meet the Euro 6 emission standards. Euro 6 plug-in hybrid heavy vehicles will also be permitted. The zone is in effect 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Violating the rules of the zone is a traffic offence which can result in a police fine of SEK 1,000, i.e. roughly €85.

Air pollution in the city of Stockholm has been a long-standing problem. Medical research shows that children living near Stockholm streets with high emissions have reduced lung function from as early as six months of age.

title says that all petrol and diesel cars are banned, yet it seems that Euro6 is allowed???

I feel like this whole article is a nonsensical mashup. Has anyone even proofread this AI summary?

Would be useful if you could give an example of the "nonsensical mashup". Otherwise it feels like you are simply not ready to process an actually quite trite article.

first it talks about how everything is banned, then it starts backpedaling about how euro6 ICE cars are allowed. it seems like the first part is copy-pasted from completely different article. at the very least it wasn't even proofread.
