Nissan backs new emissions laws but calls for incentives, regulatory reform

AutoExec Summary
Nissan Australia supports the Australian Government’s New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES) but calls for amendments to bring more efficient vehicles to market sooner. The company wants changes to implementation period, vehicle type approval requirements, technology credits for zero emission vehicles, and consumer incentives. The NVES will see manufacturers subject to targets for average CO2 emissions per kilometre across their vehicle fleets, with the aim of coming into effect by January 1, 2025. The government claims it will save Australians money and push carmakers to offer more choices.
