4. Where will the miljözonerna to apply?
It will be up to each municipality to decide if, when and how they want to use the new miljözonerna. Even if the government now gives the green light, it is far from clear that there will be green zones in, for example, the whole of the Stockholm city centre. The most likely scenario is that they are imposed on the more exposed streets, if they are introduced at all.
5. How many cars are affected?
It depends of course on whether and where miljözonerna introduced. According to research firm Vrooms estimates, 7 of 10 cars that are in traffic today not be allowed to drive in the environmental zone 2 after the year 2022. If there are 350 000 new registrations of passenger cars per year and approximately 250 000 cancellations, so will 57 per cent of the vehicle stock, so it is expected to look like by the year 2020 clear requirements for driving in the environmental zone 2. Two years later, when the requirements are tightened up 55 per cent of all passenger cars be allowed to drive in the environmental zone 2.

7. What about vintage cars?
vintage vehicles, i.e. cars that have 30 or more years on the back of the neck, will be allowed in environmental zone 2, but not in the strictest low emission zone 3. The reason, according to the government, is that these cars are used to a limited extent and that the emissions from these are considered to be of marginal importance. Moreover, it is reasonable to veteranfordonen can be used in, for example, parades in urban areas.
8. What will happen to the resale value of my car?
Just this year, the begagnatpriserna on diesel cars has fallen sharply. On the Block, where the many used cars are sold, it is believed that prices will continue to drop as more people try to get rid of their diesel cars.
9. What happens if you run into a low emission zone with an illegal car?
10. How to miljözonerna be monitored?
the Swedish transport agency will develop proposals on how local government by video surveillance to ensure that the rules are complied with. The proposal is that the vehicle owner, and not the driver, is liable for any infringements. The transport agency also opens up for rules to be monitored manually.
11. Will I receive any compensation if I have to buy a new car?
No, no government compensation is not up to date. The government indicates that it probably only gets the occasional streets that are affected by any environmental zones, and that the vast majority will be able to get around without being forced to buy a new car. But, in the end it is up to the municipalities to decide if and where miljözonerna shall be inserted.
12. Why do not the government pressure on car manufacturers to fix the cars instead?
diesel cars has for many years been able to emit significantly more nitrogen oxides than that measured in official tests. But it depends according to the government, that the EU regulatory framework has been inadequate. The cars are therefore not illegal, despite the fact that they released more than the tests showed. Why can’t Sweden make demands that the cars be addressed, the government maintains.
Volkswagen, however, constitute an exception, because they manipulated their earnings in utsläppstesterna. These rigged cars must therefore be withdrawn and corrected, something that happens in this now. Sweden allows, however, the individual car owner to decide if they want to get their VW car fixed.
the Government will as soon as it is possible to decide on the necessary amendments to the constitution that makes it possible for the municipalities to introduce the new miljözonerna.
