Norwegian Embassy Towards zero emission transportation in Norway Washington, DC. Karine Hertzberg, January 14, 2019 Photo - Guri Dahl/ Tinyagent
Norway aims to become a low emission society 2020: Reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by 30 % compared to 1990 level. 2030: Reduce emissions by at least 40 % compared to 1990 level. 2030: Carbon neutrality. 2050: A legally binding target of being a low-emission society. Norwegian Embassy

Norway's main strength Surplus of zero-carbon electricity First phase of the green transition completed Transport is next March 2018: 37% of new cars electric Ambitious targets on biofuels New business opportunities in other sectors
Target: Reduce emissions in the transport sector by 50 % from 2005 to 2030 5
Reducing emissions from transport 1. Reduce transport need. Urban planning, coordinated spatial and transportation planning. 2. Transfer to transport with lower emissions, e.g. cars buses/biking, lorries ships. 3. Reduce emissions from the individual transporter, e.g. electric vehicles. Foto: Ilja Hendel/NTBscanpix 6
Oslo 2016: More people use public transport than cars for their commute The largest cities are committed to a goal of no growth in passenger car transport. All growth in transport shall be walking, cycling and public transport. In return for the commitment, the government provides funding for public transport improvements. Norwegian Embassy
Zero emission transportation targets 2025: All new private cars and light vans should be zero-emission vehicles. 2025: All new city buses should be zero-emission vehicles or use biogas. 2030: All new heavy vans, 75 % of new longdistance buses, and 50 % of new lorries should be zero-emission vehicles. 2030: More or less emission free goods distribution in large urban area Important: These are targets. The government does not have plans of banning internal combustion engine vehicles. 8

Why has Norway become the third largest market for zero emission vehicles in the world? 1) Economic incentives at the point of purchase exemption of VAT (25%), registration tax. 2) Pricing of emissions CO2 tax of around $50/ton 3) User incentives - Free tollroads, public parking, free access to public charging stations, use of public transportation lanes, reduced fares on ferries 4) Support for fast charging infrastructure 5) Predictability 11
Market-based development of infrastructure In urban areas, there is a commercial market for rapid chargers. Some public support to specific areas with low uptake of EVs. If by 2025, all new passenger cars are ZEVs, 50 per cent of passenger car fleet is ZEV by 2030. Big market for charging providers. Ambition: fully commercial market in the long run. Studies show power system will handle it. 12

Transport emissions are going down 9,5% reduction in emissions from road transport from 2016-2017 Higher shares of biofuels Higher shares of public transport in cities Higher shares of zero emission vehicles Norwegian Embassy
