"New" refers to vehicles that become taxable (are put into use) for the first time on or after 1 July 2018. The vehicle must not have been in use before, in Sweden or abroad. As regards malus, the car's vehicle year ("fordonsår") must be 2018 or later. The Swedish definition of vehicle year is found in the Swedish Vehicle Ordinance (2009:211). Find here a translation into English of the definition of vehicle year*.
For class II private cars (campers), there is no maximum total weight.
The vehicle tax on cars already in use will remain the same.
* Vehicle year refers to the data in the Swedish vehicle register that state a vehicle's model year or, if there is no such data, the year of manufacture. If there is no data stating either model year or year of manufacture, vehicle year refers to the year in which the vehicle was first put into use.
