Stockholm plans to ban petrol and diesel cars in part of the city starting in 2025 in a bid to crack down on pollution.

An area of about 20 blocks that straddles the Swedish capital’s finance area and main shopping drags will only allow electric cars, some hybrid trucks and fuel cell vehicles, according to rules to be presented on Wednesday, SVT reported on its website. An expansion of the zone could be decided in the first half of 2025.
