Australia proposes fuel efficiency standards for new passenger and light commercial vehicles.

Australia is proposing fuel efficiency standards for some vehicles inspired by rules introduced in the US about 50 years ago. The preferred standard would apply to new passenger and light commercial vehicles, setting an average carbon dioxide target for manufacturers, with credits awarded for meeting them and penalties imposed for falling short. The rules would commence in 2025 and align Australia with US standards by 2028, offering potential fuel cost savings for consumers.
