Stockholm, Sweden, plans to ban gas and diesel cars in a 20-block area around its finance hub starting in 2025, surpassing similar efforts in other major cities like Paris, Athens, and Madrid.
The ban on gas and diesel vehicles is officially making its way across the globe, with Stockholm the next city in the queue. The Swedish capital now has a plan in place to ban gas and diesel cars in part of the city beginning in 2025, according to Bloomberg. The ban is going to begin in a 20 block area around the capital's finance hub, the report says. The same area also houses the city's main shopping attractions.
It's uncertain whether the plan will boost electric vehicle sales in Sweden, given the current cost-of-living crisis affecting EV sales. Mobility Sweden recently lowered its 2023 forecast for new EV registrations from 40% to 35% of total registrations. In other places, Brussels banned non-essential and non-local car traffic on 10 central city streets in December. London expanded its ultra-low emission zone in August, marking one of the world's most ambitious vehicle emissions policies.
