Finland’s capital is broadening its push for cleaner urban transport by extending its electric vehicle (EV) mandate to include vans and minibuses, building on earlier requirements for cars and taxis. The move aims to accelerate the phase-out of fossil-fuel-powered vehicles in the city’s public and commercial fleets, aligning with broader European climate goals. While details on enforcement timelines remain unclear, the expansion signals growing municipal pressure on businesses and operators to adopt zero-emission alternatives. The decision follows similar initiatives in other European cities targeting high-emission commercial vehicles.
