Car giant threatens to sell petrol and diesel cars again

In Norway, the car giant Volkswagen is now threatening to start selling diesel and petrol cars again, as it feels let down by the government.

In Norway, a debate is raging right now, causing some car brands to threaten to restart the sale of diesel and petrol cars.

Among others, Volkswagen in Norway believes that the country's government is not doing enough to eradicate all fossil-fuel cars from the new car market. For example, the government has proposed to lower the so-called road tax for petrol cars from NOK 4.62 to NOK 4.16.

This now causes the Volkswagen group in Norway, in the form of the importer Harald A. Moller, to threaten to sell cars with combustion engines again. Something else the importer waived from 1 January this year.

– We made Volkswagen a purely electric car brand already on 1 January this year, under the belief that the government also stood by the 2025 target.

– Now the budget negotiations and SV are the last opportunity to reach the electric car target, at the same time we are forced to consider resuming the sale of Volkswagen passenger cars with combustion engines.

– Few and quite simple measures are needed to reach the goal.

– If the government lacks the political will, we could suddenly end up in a situation where 2025 will be a year in which more fossil-fuel cars will have their renaissance. It is backwards into the future, says Ulf Tore Hekneby, managing director of Harald A. Moller, in apress release .

Even the Norwegian Electric Vehicle Association cannot understand the plan presented by the Norwegian government. In fact, the association is outraged that it is now petrol and not electric cars that have the prospect of tax breaks.

– This sends a bad signal to everyone who is thinking of switching to electric cars around the country, says Christina Bu, secretary general of the Electric Vehicle Association, to Dininside.
