1 Oslo - Carbon-neutral by 2030? Sture Portvik Project manager Agency for Urban Environment City of Oslo Nordic EV Summit 2017

2 Oslo - Carbon-neutral by 2030? Climate goals in Oslo: 50 % CO2-reduction in 2020, 95 % CO2- reduction in 2030

3 This plans are indeed ambitious. The Oslo regions expected to grow substantially and with approx citizens in 2030 (30 %). At the same time the growth of transportation and public transportation is expected to increase substantially. Is the plans realistic? Is it possible? Well, it not by no means just a walk in the park - but everything is possible. So, Yes we can! A new Climate- and Energy Strategy for Oslo was developed last 2016, 44 measures new were carved out.

4 The plans involves 44 measures, incl. among others: - Greener buildings, incl. phasing out of all oil heaters - 20 % reduction of traffic in 2020, a 33% reduction in Fossil free public transportation - A shift towards zero emission transportation, both for private cars and freight distributions and deliveries of goods - CCS for waste treatment - Greener public purchases - EL-taxis - More pedestrians, more cycling etc

5 The real challenge in Oslo With 63% of global emissions in Oslo coming from the transport sector, the only way to reduce emissions in our cities is to boost a green shift in transportation. In 2008, Oslo adopted a ten-point plan to reduce CO2 emissions, to which the large scale introduction of EVs plays a big part.

6 CO2 emissions from transport in Oslo Transport counts for approx. 65 % of CO2 emissions Main «contributors» Private cars 39 % Construction 30 % Freight 25 % Distribution 10 %

7 Making EVs the right choice The main focus from 2008

8 Oslo went from this..

9 To this

10 Making EV the right choice Charging infrastructures The City of Oslo is today the country s largest owner of charging infrastructure with on-street charging points on public ground 200 new charging points will be deployed in 2017 The City will offer more than 1300 public charging points in 2016 Total number of public available charging point, including private ones, is > 2000

11 Making EVs the right choice Three critical success factors: EVs must be cheap to buy (no purchasing tax, no VAT) Cheap to use (free parking, free electricity, free passing in tool gates) Convenient to use (easy access to charging) Two factors were already in place, so the City of Oslo focused on the third; making an EV convenient to use through deployment of needed charging infrastructure.

12 Reducing emissions from traffic - Measures : Promoting EVs, both private and commercial vehicles, incl. deployment of charging infrastructure Fossil free Public transportation from 2020 Only non-fossil new vehicles by Low Emission Zone Oslo established in 2017 (first stage) A ban on the use of diesel cars on the most polluting days Establishing Car Free Inner City. Starting June 2017 Congestion tax and environmental differential toll road charging by 2017 Residential parking in all streets within Ring 3 Green freight gradually 60 % reduction NOx by 2022 Ban on sales of diesel and gasoline cars by 2020 Oslo (2025 in Norway)

13 Example - Impact from Low Emission Zones for heavy duty vehicles Oslo

14 Exponential growth creates challenges Success breeds success, but also creates challenges. In 2016 close to 30 % of all cars sold in the Oslo region were either a pure electric vehicle (24,4 % ) or a plug-in vehicle (15,4 %).

15 New focus areas Never change a winning card, but always stay flexible In order to catch up we also need to: Establishing fast chargers in cooperation with private actors in the corridors in and out of the City Indoor parking garages for EVs (Akershus, Vulkan). The World s first dedicated P-houses for EVs only Build large Centre of excellence for professional users of EVs with flexible charging and pre-booking opportunities. Dualistic structure. The same garage offers free residential parking during night-time. Fossil-free public transportation (2020)

16 New quick charging stations

17 Centre for professional use of EVs, and Parking garages for EVs

18 Important EU-project; SEEV4 City and FREVUE Two important EU-project is leading the way as first movers for green freight distribution in Oslo; FREVUE and SEEV4 City

19 A launching customer

20 A green shift in transport is needed Everything is connected to everything, in addition to more EVs we need: More public transportation Greener public transportation. Fossil-free within 2020 (the official goal) Increased focus on facilitation for pedestrians and cyclists Increased focus on (green) car sharing More freight handling by trains Green freight distribution in the City Electrification and greener heavy duty vehicles EL-Taxis Park and ride solutions, in combination with EVs Increased use of ITS Low emission zones Residential park (free parking for EVs) Congestion tax (non for EVs)

21 Not only private EVs

22 Thank you all for your attention!
