The Clean Car Standard – Ministry of Transport

New Zealand is an outlier among developed countries, along with Australia and Russia, in not regulating vehicle CO2 emissions/fuel efficiency. Australia will move forward in 2021 through its vehicle industry having a voluntary CO2 standard of 130 g/km in 2030. New Zealand stands to benefit substantially from implementing a Clean Car Standard 21.
