Stockholm to fully ban petrol and diesel vehicles from city center by 2030

  • Stockholm plans to ban petrol and diesel vehicles from a 20-block district in its center by 2025 to reduce emissions and noise.
  • The ban will cover 180,000 square meters and includes exceptions for hybrid trucks, fuel-cell vehicles, ambulances, police vehicles, and vehicles for disabled drivers.
  • Stockholm's ban goes further than similar measures in Paris, Madrid, and Athens which have only targeted diesel vehicles.
  • The goal is for Stockholm's city center to have zero emissions and 30% less car traffic by 2030.
  • Stockholm aims to become a green utopia focused on walking, cycling, and public transit.
