Written by Olakunle Oke on March 27, 2024
The Australian government has watered down its proposed vehicle emission standards amid pressure from car manufacturers.
Chris Bowen, the minister for energy and climate change, and Catherine King, transport minister, announced changes to fuel efficiency legislation to be introduced to parliament on Wednesday.
It came one month after Mr Bowen unveiled the government’s proposal for Australia’s first New Vehicle Efficiency Standard, which would come into effect on January 1, 2025.
