The petrol car's share of a depressed Norwegian market for new cars is approaching zero. Right now, the market share is down to 0.43 percent.
It has been more than 30 years since the last time things went so badly for the sale of new cars in Norway. At least when you look at how things are going right now.
In particular, brand new petrol cars are under pressure. And even if they are not banned in Norway from 1 January 2025, something the country's government otherwise had as a goal, sales are approaching 0.
Right now, petrol cars account for just 0.43 percent of the Norwegian market. Until now, only 23 petrol cars have been registered in Norway in the month of August. That figure was 80 cars just a year ago.

But in general, car sales in Norway continue to decline. In fact, it is only in Denmark that Nordic new car sales are progressing.
In Norway, electric cars now account for 92.4 percent of the market. And this even though the electric cars are losing more and more of the advantages that would otherwise hold their hand during the sale of them. Read more about it here.
In contrast to Denmark, where right now there is no more popular car than the Volkswagen ID.4, it is, as so often, the Tesla Model Y that dominates the Norwegian roads.
Among the 23 cars that the Norwegians have so far bought in August, which will otherwise soon run out, are 3 Suzuki Swifts, a Lamborghini Urus and a Mercedes G-Class.
Looking at the year 2024 from 1 January to now, petrol cars' share of the car market is slightly better. But actually only very little. With 701 registrations, the new petrol cars make up just 0.96 percent of the car fleet in Norway.
