Exemplary role of public authorities I (environmental standards for government vehicles)

● Ordinance 2020:486
● Ordinance 2017:1334

Most government vehicles – with some exceptions – are required to comply with the environmental criteria set out in the Ordinance 2017:1334 for vehicles eligible for the environmental “bonus” (arts. 5 and 6, 2020:486). Low-emissions vehicles, such as EVs and hybrids, are eligible.
All authorities are required to report to the Swedish Transport Agency about their purchases annually (art 11 2020:486). The Transport Agency is in charge of the supervision of the obligations set out in the Ordinance 2020:486 (art 12–13).
The ordinance 2020:486 also includes other criteria for vehicles intended for government use, such as higher than usual safety standards.

The regulation does not apply to some vehicle categories, such as emergency vehicles, vehicles used by the armed forces, foreign authorities, and some branches of the police forces (art 2 Ordinance 2020:486).
