Toyota pollutes more than Australia’s dirtiest coal mine, claims climate lobby

The Climate Council has accused Toyota, Ford, Hyundai, Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, and Mazda of producing high levels of CO2 emissions in Australia. They claim that these carmakers are responsible for as much climate pollution as dozens of big, dirty coal mines. The carmakers have been vocal critics of regulating vehicle pollution and have opposed the New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES). Toyota, Mazda, and Mitsubishi have all criticized the NVES, while the Climate Council has publicly backed it. The back-and-forth between the climate lobbies and carmakers continues, with the carmakers claiming that the NVES will result in price hikes for popular vehicles.
