The fact that Denmark does not have a car industry has played an important role.

This is a very big reason. Sweden and Germany have auto industry with very strong (politically) unions, ensuring that laws and taxes are beneficial to national industry. Norway and Denmark are very similar to Sweden in many ways, but only Sweden has auto industry and Norway/Denmark have much higher car prices.
