Oslo Economics (OE) presents the report which analyzes what changes in purchase and use-related car taxes mean for the purchase and use of a car in Norway on 20 October.
On Thursday 20 October, Oslo Economics (OE) presents a new report which analyzes what changes in purchase and use-related car taxes mean for the purchase and use of a car in Norway. The report shows the consequences that toll changes can have on the pace of this green shift in road traffic.
The report “The importance of purchase and use taxes for the purchase and use of a car” shows that increased taxes on the purchase of new cars reduce the replacement of the car fleet. This will again make it more difficult to achieve the climate goals. Changes in usage-related fees can also pull in the same direction.

– Price influences Norwegians’ purchase decisions, and increased electric car taxes will delay the replacement of the car fleet. Electrification of the passenger car fleet is a low-hanging fruit compared to corresponding emission cuts in other parts of the sector, so that increased electric car taxes make it more difficult to reach the climate targets for 2030, says Eyvind Søraa, Senior Economist at Oslo Economics.
The report, which will be presented at the breakfast meeting on The House of Literature, has been prepared on behalf of The National Association of Car Porters (CAR), The Norwegian Automobile Industry Association (NBF) and The Road Traffic Information Council (OFV).
– Do not stop on the upstream side
Targeted investment over several years, with VAT exemptions and other incentives for the purchase of electric cars, has placed Norway at the top of the world in the transition to zero-emission cars. Electric cars now make up 83 per cent of all first-time registered new passenger cars, and the goal of all new car sales to be emission-free by 2025 may be within reach.
– History clearly shows that tax changes have a major impact on the population’s choice and purchase of new cars. Now we have to learn from experience, and not stop the green shift on the run-up side, says director Erik Andresen at BIL.
