London CNN —Elon Musk has notched a victory against Swedish workers as a court ruled that Tesla can collect license plates for its cars from the country’s transport authority after postal workers refused to deliver them. Postal workers stopped delivering them to the company last week in sympathy with Tesla’s mechanics who began an ongoing strike in late October. Musk called the postal workers’ actions “insane” in a post on X last week. “Swedish wages and working conditions should apply to all workers in Sweden,” the body said in a statement on its website earlier this month. A company that comes to Sweden must adapt to what applies here.”Musk, the world’s richest man, has been vocal about his opposition to unions.

Workers at state-owned postal company PostNord joined the strike on Nov. 20 and stopped distributing the license plates to Tesla. The state-run transport agency turned down Tesla's request to pick up the license plates itself and also declined to send them via distribution channels other than PostNord. Tesla sued both PostNord and the transport agency in two separate lawsuits, first reported by Swedish business daily Dagens Industri. It said the refusal to deliver license plates could affect "a large number of consumers who ordered a new car from Tesla". The transport agency confirmed to Reuters on Monday that Tesla had filed a lawsuit, believing the agency had not kept its obligations to deliver Tesla's license plates.

COPENHAGEN, June 14 (Reuters) - Swedish electric self-driving truck company Einride expects to reduce CO2 emissions in Norway by 2,100 tonnes over the coming three years as it partners up with Scandinavia's leading postal service, PostNord, the company said on Wednesday. Using Einride's electric trucks, PostNord will reduce its fossil-fuel-driven deliveries in Norway by more than 1,500 km (932 miles) per day. Many goods can be transported with zero-emission vehicles, resulting in a significant environmental benefit, according to assistant director of sustainability at PostNord Norway, May-Kristin Willoch. Swedish start-up Einride driverless electric truck is seen in Jonkoping, Sweden May 15, 2019. Self-driving technology for freight trucks has attracted investor attention in recent years as it is deemed cheaper and easier to roll out than self-driving cars.

Шведско-датская почтовая компания PostNord выпустила почтовую марку в честь 18-летней шведской экоактивистки Греты Тунберг. Марка с Гретой Тунберг вошла в коллекцию «Ценная природа» («Värdefull Natur»), посвященной окружающей среде и экологическим вопросам. Мотивы на марках должны отражать наше время, в котором экологический вопрос актуален и присутствует уже много лет, не в последнюю очередь благодаря сильному голосу Греты Тунберг. Грета Тунберг получила широкую известность в 2018 году после того, как стала проводить забастовки у здания парламента Швеции. В 2019 году молодые люди по всему миру проводили забастовки, подобные тем, что устраивала Грета Тунберг.
