New cars to be subject to new fuel efficiency standards | ABC News
The federal government will introduce laws that will set fuel efficiency standards on new cars being sold in Australia.
Under new vehicle efficiency standards, car companies will be required to supply more fuel efficient vehicles to consumers by targets set on the average emissions per kilometre for new cars sold.
Australia has been dubbed a dumping ground for inefficient vehicles because it hasn't had fuel standards like China, the United States, New Zealand and the European Union.
The standard only applies to new passenger vehicles and light commercial vehicles.
The Albanese government said it would consult on its preferred model for a month, but was looking to introduce the legislation in the first half of 2024.
