An official says a ban on gasoline and diesel-fueled cars from a commercial district of Stockholm’s downtown in 2025 will be the first for a European capital
Cars drive on a road in the city center in Stockholm, Sweden, Thursday, Oct. 12, 2023.The Swedish capital plans to ban petrol and diesel cars from parts of Stockholm, gradually starting with a little-congested downtown commercial district, in an effort to curb pollution and reduce noise but also to push the technical progress toward more electric vehicles.
“We need to eliminate the harmful exhaust gases from and diesel cars. That’s why we are introducing the most ambitious low-emission zone to date,” Strömgren told The Associated Press. The idea is to create an "environmental zone” where only electric vehicles will be allowed. There will be some exceptions such as for emergency vehicles and transportation for the disabled.
“We are pretty proud, I must say,” Strömgren said, adding that gradual expansion of the environmental zone would be decided in the first half of 2025. “In other words, the transition is going fast and it is already being driven forward by the industry,” Samuelson said.
