Half of e-scooter riders in Oslo have driven while under the influence of alcohol.
43 percent of e-scooter riders rode with a blood alcohol-level above the legal limit and they see it as unlikely to be stopped in alcohol control.
According to a new TØI report over 50 percent of the e-scooters riders "almost always" drive without a helmet, in addition to the high number...

Autonomous buses tested in real traffic in Oslo
Ruter's autonomous buses successfully handled interaction with traffic lights and other road users, but there are still challenges that must be solved before autonomous buses can be an effective actor in city traffic.
In a recent study TØI researchers have tested self-driving buses in more...

To impose VAT on electric cars will cut the sales by 50 percent
By imposing VAT on electric cars in Norway the sales will be cut in half and the average CO2 emissions from new cars will increase by about 60 percent.
In Norway zero-emission cars constituted 54,3 percent of all new cars purchased in 2020. If electric cars are subject to full VAT sales will...

Feasibility, costs and benefits of retrofitting ADAS to improve road safety
In order to decrease road fatalities, the European Parliament has made several ADAS mandatory in new models from June 2022 onward. Through retrofitting, the uptake of these ADAS in the vehicle fleet could be improved. VTT and Ecorys have studied the feasibility, costs and benefits of retrofitting...

Significant recycling of EV batteries 10 years away in Europe, sooner in Norway
Electric car batteries will be available for recycling or reuse in Norway from 2025, with a significant increase in volume towards 2030.
For the EU, the EU's requirements for reducing new cars' CO2 emissions will contribute to significant volumes, but only after 2030. This is the conclusion in a...
