Norway is taking significant steps to combat pollution by planning to ban petrol vehicles from zero emission zones across cities. The Government is pushing legislation to establish these restricted areas to promote the use of electric and hydrogen vehicles. Norway, a leader in electric car adoption, aims to encourage sales of electric vans and trucks. The initiative is driven by the need to improve air quality and reduce emissions. The move has been met with mixed responses, as the Government aims to address the slow progress in electrification of goods and commercial transport compared to passenger cars. Three major cities in Norway have requested powers to introduce these zero emission zones, with Oslo already implementing a 'car-free liveability' program. This program includes removing parking spaces in the capital and aiming to ban petrol vehicles. The initiative also aims to encourage commercial fleet operators to switch to zero-emission vehicles. The Norwegian Road Federation has raised questions about Tesla's market position in the country due to challenges like an ageing vehicle lineup. Despite this, the Government's push for zero emission zones shows a positive sentiment towards promoting electric and hydrogen vehicles for a cleaner environment.
