Sweden’s Central Bureau of Statistics’ (SCB) vehicle registry data for Stockholm County, 2008
![Page 20: Congestion Pricing in Stockholm - Microsoft · Central Stockholm for LEVs 2006: • Congestion Charging Trial • Low-Emission Vehicle (LEV) Exemption Starts 2007: • Started National](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060602/60571d2defca50011e2af2f1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Key Findings
• LEV owners travelled further than Conventional Vehicle owners of similar characteristics (between 1.6 and 11.2%)
• Some difference is associated with the LEV exemption:
– Large for inner-city residents: +10.4%
– Not so much for suburban residents: +0.9%
• Difference is due to non-work trips?

• Simulated effects on emissions:
– Reduction due to vehicle technology: -49.5%
– Increase due to rebound effects: +2.5%pt

Summary
• Had exactly the intended effect on traffic
• Unexpectedly strong acceptance after the fact
• Weak effects on the environment for the region
• Exemptions for Clean Vehicles may bring about long-term effects, but only if in place for longer
Thank you!
