Oslo aims to become the first capital city in the world with fully electric public transport, without any CO2 emissions, by 2023. The goal is to offer users and residents of the city an improved quality of life, with less pollution, less noise and greater comfort.

The project aims to replace the city's entire diesel bus fleet with fully electric models. This concerns a total fleet of about 450 buses.
