OSLO’S PLANS FOR THE NEXT 5 YEARS

Never change a winning card, but always stay flexible.

Everything is connected to everything, in addition to more EVs we now 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• Congestion/ rush hour tax • Residential parking (free parking for EVs)• and of course , More electrical vehicles

A GREEN SHIFT IN TRANSPORTAT IS NEEDED

If you want to boost the prevalence of EVs the Cities has to act as “a first mover” and help boosting the EV market, left alone the markets forces will be too small, too late. Pollutions and emissions are a urban challenges, and cities and urban regions has to meet this challenges. In this regard Cities can acts as:

• First movers• Elevate market imperfections • Facilitator for new charging infrastructure • Active partners in charging and technology• Supporter of private initiatives • Regulators to enhance electric mobility• Demanding customers• Support schemes for charging facilities

GOVERNMENT AND MARKET Not Government versus market
