With an increasing number of electric vehicles on the road, mineral oil tax is generating less income. The Federal Council wants to offset this by introducing a compensation levy on electric vehicles. It has published a consultation draft for the introduction of such a levy.

While fossil-free vehicles are increasingly being used on the roads, diesel engines continue to dominate shipping on Swiss waters. This should change in order to reach the political goal of net-zero by 2050. On behalf of the Swiss Federal Office of Transport and several cantons, INFRAS is investigating the prospects for the decarbonization of shipping in Switzerland.
