ReutersIn Norway, nearly all new cars sold in 2024 were fully electric
OSLO (Reuters) -Nine out of ten new cars sold in Norway last year were powered by battery only, registration data showed on Thursday, placing the country within reach of its target of only adding cars that are electric on the road by 2025. Fully electric vehicles accounted for 88.9% of new cars sold in 2024, up from 82.4% in 2023, data from the Norwegian Road Federation (OFV) showed. "Norway will be the first country in the world to pretty much erase petrol and diesel engine cars from the new car market," said Christina Bu, head of the Norwegian EV association.

Chinese electric vehicles gain market share in Norway
Chinese electric cars have surged to account for almost 10% of new car sales in Norway in only five years, data from the country's road federation (OFV) showed on Thursday. Wealthy Norway is far ahead of most countries in the switch to electric vehicles and unlike the European Union and the United States has not imposed import tariffs on Chinese EVs. Brussels and Washington say Chinese EVs benefit from unfair subsidies, which Beijing denies, and Western automakers have warned they could be hit hard by cheap Chinese imports, although there have been doubts if buyers would adopt unfamiliar brands.

US dockworkers, employer group to restart talks next week, Bloomberg News reports
(Reuters) -The International Longshoremen's Association and the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) are set to resume contract talks on Jan. 7, Bloomberg news reported on Thursday, citing a person familiar with the matter. Another coast-wide strike at U.S. East and Gulf coast ports looms large if an agreement is not reached before Jan. 15, which will not only halt billions in trade but also raise inflationary pressures and threaten existing supply chains. USMX had earlier said the technology at issue does not harm longshore employment, and added such modernization was necessary to keep U.S. ports competitive.
