Ford wants incentives, concessions under Australian emissions regulations

AutoExec Summary
Ford Australia believes that the success of Australia’s New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES) lies in incentives rather than penalties. It wants the government to delay penalties until 2026, introduce ‘super credits’ for electric vehicles, and create a longer glide path for future models. Ford also calls for changes to vehicle segmentation and break points to prevent negative impacts on certain industries. It recommends penalties starting at $50 per g/km and growing annually to a maximum of $100 per g/km. Ford believes its proposed changes are realistic and workable.
