Oslo will this week institute a temporary ban on diesel cars in order to tackle the air pollution which causes 185 premature deaths in the city each year. The ban will go into effect on Tuesday on municipal roads but will not apply on the national motorways that criss-cross the Norwegian capital. The Norwegian capital will introduce the ban on Tuesday for a minimum of two days. It will operate on municipal roads but not on national motorways in the city. A total of 1,150 new electric vehicles are expected to be sold by 2025, according to the country's energy and climate agency. The city’s council approved such bans in principle in February 2016, but this is the first time one has been implemented.
