STOCKHOLM

Stockholm has announced plans to become the first major capital to ban petrol and diesel cars from its centre, in a bid to cut pollution and reduce noise.

From 2025, 20 blocks of Stockholm's inner city area, which includes finance and the main shopping areas, will be limited to electric vehicle traffic only. A decision on whether to expand the area will be made in early 2025.

Announcing the plan, Lars Stromgren, the city's deputy mayor for transport, said: "Today, the air in Stockholm causes babies to get lung disease and the elderly to die prematurely. We must eliminate harmful exhaust gases from gasoline and diesel cars. That is why we are introducing the most ambitious low-emission zone to date.”

A number of cities have introduced or are introducing schemes to try to tackle air pollution, but Stockholm's goes further than most. Paris, Athens and Madrid have only banned diesel cars and London has a charging scheme that covers more polluting combustion engines.

Sweden's Green Party is part of a coalition of left-wing, environment-focused parties that holds power in Stockholm's municipal government. The Greens said they hoped the low-emission zone would boost the use of electric vehicles.

Transport industry representatives said the plan was too radical. "Since 2010, we have reduced emissions by 34%. But the Green party and their colleagues in the city of Stockholm are now in too much of a hurry," said the Confederation of Swedish Transport Companies.
