Mitsubishi joins chorus calling to cut red tape around Australian vehicle imports

AutoExec Summary
Mitsubishi Motors Australia Limited supports new Australian Government emissions standards but wants regulatory changes to bring efficient vehicles to market faster. It argues for harmonising Australian Design Rules with UN regulations or equivalent standards in advanced markets like Japan and the EU. The lengthy Type Approval process hinders vehicle launch timelines. Mitsubishi criticises specific ADRs, such as requiring an Australia-specific VIN label and a windscreen-mounted fuel consumption label. Nissan Australia also seeks regulatory reform to expedite compliance and align with major markets like the UK and Japan.
