Accordingly, all who buy cars with lower emissions than 120 grams of CO2 per kilometer, will not have to pay the annual fee for the first five years. Leader of the Christian Democratic Party, Knut Arild Hareide, believes it will make more attractive to choose environmentally friendly cars.
– We believe it must be more profitable to buy environmentally friendly cars and at the same time it must be easier for car buyers to actually see how much they save, said he to VG. A similar system is applied in neigbhoring country, Sweden. In this country, sales of environmentally friendly cars has increased after this measure was introduced.
– Here in Norway we are good at sales of electric cars, but in terms of both hybrid cars and cars that run on biodiesel, we have a long way to go. , says Hareide.
