In Oslo sind nur noch rein elektrische Taxis erlaubt. Ausgenommen von dieser Regel sind nur Taxifahrten, die über die Grenzen von Oslo hinausführen. Die BEV-Zulassungszahlen im Taxibereich sind in Norwegen seit Jahren hoch. Im vergangenen Jahr lag die BEV-Marktdurchdüngung im ganzen Land bei 88 Prozent – und damit noch etwas höher als bei den gesamten Pkw-Neuzulassungen mit 82,4 Prozent.
World first: All Oslo taxis will be electric and charging wirelessly …Norway is taking one step further to a 100 per cent electric transport future, declaring that by 2023 all taxis in the capital, oslo, will be electric. With the inherently high demands of charging a fleet of taxis, the city of Oslo will also install inductive charging systems that allow its taxi fleets to charge quickly and efficiently enough …
Oslo intends to have nothing but zero-emission taxis in operation from 2023 onward, and Norway hopes that all new cars sold across the country will be zero-emission vehicles by 2025.
Fossil -powered vans can be banned in Oslo’s inner city as early as 2027 or 2028, said Transport Agency Marit Kristine Vea (V). The City council in Oslo proposes to introduce zero -emission zones for business transport and ask the necessary authorizations from the government as soon as possible.
Norway’s Transport Agency Pushes for zero-Emission Goods Transport
Table of Contents
The Norwegian Public Roads Administration (NPRA) has emphasized the urgency of setting a deadline for transitioning goods transport to zero-emission vehicles. This move comes as the agency highlights that goods transport is the largest source of emissions within the transport sector.
Key Points:
| Aspect | Details |
|—————————–|————————————————————————-|
| Emissions Source | Goods transport is the largest contributor to emissions in the transport sector. |
| Zero-Emission Zone | The NPRA is focusing on creating zero-emission zones for goods and industry transport. |
| Vehicle park Replacement| The replacement of the vehicle park is progressing too slowly. |
Environmental Focus
Marit Kristine Vea,the head of the NPRA,underscored the importance of establishing a zero-emission zone for goods and industry transport. She noted that notable emissions come from these sectors, and the transition to zero-emission vehicles is lagging.
Political Perspectives
While the NPRA pushes for rapid changes, some political figures are more cautious. Sylvi Listhaug,a member of the Progress Party (Frp),advises against hasty implementation of such drastic measures. Listhaug pointed out the recent chaos in Oslo due to the quick introduction of electric buses, suggesting that similar issues could arise in goods transport.Oslo’s Bus Chaos
Oslo experienced several instances of bus chaos last winter,attributed to the rapid introduction of electric buses. The City Council now contemplates applying the same approach to goods transport,a move that Listhaug finds incomprehensible.
Future Targets
The NPRA’s push for zero-emission goods transport aligns with broader environmental goals. However, the feasibility and practicality of such targets remain subjects of debate. For more insights, read our previous article on the feasibility of 100 percent electric cars in Norway.
Conclusion
The Norwegian Public Roads Administration’s initiative to set a deadline for zero-emission goods transport is a significant step towards reducing emissions. However, the political landscape and practical challenges must be carefully considered to ensure a smooth transition. Stay tuned for more updates on Norway’s green transport initiatives.

Norway’s Balancing Act: Oil, Gas, and Green Transition
In a move that has sparked both praise and controversy, Norway has unveiled a strategic plan to manage its oil and gas sector while financing a green transition. The plan, which aims to ensure the continued growth and value creation from oil and gas, has been met with mixed reactions from various stakeholders.
A Lobby Group’s Perspective
Norwegian Oil and Gas, a prominent lobby group, has expressed support for the new plan.According to the group,the strategy will “ensure continued development and value creation from oil and gas,but also to finance a green transition” [1[1[1[1]. This approach seeks to balance the economic benefits of the oil and gas industry with the urgent need to invest in renewable energy and sustainable practices.
The International Energy Agency’s Stance
The International Energy Agency (IEA) has called for a faster drop in oil demand as part of the roadmap to 2050.Last year, the IEA urged global investors to halt funding for new fossil fuel projects, a proposal that has sparked public debate in Norway, where oil and gas are significant contributors to the economy [2[2[2[2].The IEA’s call underscores the global shift towards renewable energy and the need for countries like Norway to prepare for a future with reduced oil demand.
Oslo’s Ambitious Climate Goals
Oslo, the capital of Norway, has set ambitious climate goals. The city aims to cut emissions by 95% from 2009 levels by 2030. Though, the actual progress has been slower than anticipated. Between 2009 and 2020, Oslo’s emissions fell by only 26%, translating to an annual reduction of 2.7%. Part of the challenge lies in the nationwide ban on oil-fired heating systems, which has not been sufficient to meet the city’s aggressive targets [3[3[3[3].
Balancing Environmental and Economic Concerns
The debate over Oslo’s ban on fossil-fueled vans by 2027 or 2028 highlights the complexities of balancing environmental considerations with economic sustainability. Bjørnevik,a local expert,argues that such bans are unrealistic and could severely impact businesses. He suggests finding better solutions that consider both environmental and economic factors.
| Year | Oslo’s Emission Reduction Goal | Actual Emission reduction (2009-2020) |
|————|——————————-|————————————–|
| 2030 | 95% | 26% |
The Road Ahead
Norway’s strategy to manage its oil and gas sector while transitioning to green energy is a complex one. The country must navigate the challenges of reducing oil demand, meeting ambitious climate goals, and supporting economic sustainability. As the global community pushes for more aggressive climate action, Norway’s approach offers valuable insights into the balancing act required to achieve a sustainable future.

Interview with Marit Kristine Vea on Norway’s Push for Zero-Emission Goods Transport
Editor: Norway’s Public Roads Governance (NPRA) is emphasizing teh urgency of transitioning goods transport to zero-emission vehicles. Could you provide us with an overview of the situation and the significance of this push?
Marit Kristine Vea: The Norwegian Public Roads Administration is releasing plans to establish zero-emission zones for goods and industry transport. This move stems from our recognition that goods transport is the largest contributor to emissions within the transport sector. Although we have made progress, the replacement of the vehicle park is progressing too slowly.
Editor: What are the main challenges that the NPRA is facing in this transition?
Marit Kristine Vea: The major challenge is the slow pace of replacing the existing vehicle park with zero-emission vehicles.We also need to ensure that the infrastructure supports these new vehicles,including charging stations and proper logistical planning.
Editor: can you elaborate on the importance of setting a timeline for this transition?
Marit Kristine Vea: Setting a deadline is crucial as it forces us to prioritize and focus our efforts.It creates clear goals that companies, industries, and the public sector must work toward. This will help us meet our emission reduction targets more effectively.
Editor: How does the NPRA plan to address these challenges and ensure triumphant implementation?
marit kristine Vea: Our plan includes various incentives for companies to adopt zero-emission vehicles,such as tax breaks and subsidies. We are also collaborating with other government agencies and the private sector to improve infrastructure and streamline the transition process.
Editor: What role do you see for Norway in the global effort to reduce emissions?
Marit Kristine Vea: Norway aims to be a leader in the global effort to reduce emissions.By setting ambitious targets and pushing for innovative solutions, we hope to inspire other countries to follow suit. This is not just an environmental necessity but also an economic opportunity to create new jobs and industries.
Editor: Lastly, how do you envision the future of goods transport in Norway in the next decade?
Marit Kristine Vea: In the next decade, I envision a future were most goods are transported via zero-emission vehicles. This will significantly reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to our national climate goals. it will also ensure a more enduring and resilient transport sector.
