The point of lowering the reduction duty, which controls the amount of renewable fuel in petrol and diesel, was that the high fuel prices hit people in rural areas who need a car hard.
According to the new proposal from MP, the old level of reduction obligation is to be reintroduced, but without affecting the price at the pump, reports TT.

A new road tax for city dwellers
Instead, they see a new type of road tax for city dwellers. The money will go to the state, which can then use it to subsidize the more expensive biofuel at the supermarkets. Exactly how the system will be designed has not yet been decided upon.
– The state must pay the extra cost that is needed. Exactly how to technically put it, I don’t have an answer to right now, says the spokesperson for the Green Party Daniel Helldén in connection with a meeting with Riksdag journalists.

Can be really expensive
The idea is that those who live in the cities, and thus can be considered to have access to good public transport, should pay the tax, which should also be based on how much you drive. If you live in the countryside, however, you can’t escape.
The tax must also be felt by the city dweller who drives a lot.
– Then you may have to prepare to pay much more, says Daniel Helldén.
The proposal for the new, and according to Hedén high, road tax does not affect electric cars, but only cars that run on fossil fuels. It is not clear how plug-in hybrids are affected by the proposal.
