Speeding backwards: Greenpeace slams Coalition commitment to neuter vehicle efficiency standards

Greenpeace Australia Pacific criticized the Coalition for planning to weaken the New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES) by eliminating fines, which would benefit the petrol car lobby and increase carbon emissions. The NVES aims to reduce car-related carbon pollution by 80 million tonnes by 2035 and promote the adoption of low-emission vehicles. Greenpeace emphasized the importance of maintaining strong efficiency standards to support cleaner, more affordable cars and resist the Coalition’s attempts to undermine progress.
