"The Federal Government has announced strict emissions standards for new petrol
and diesel-powered vehicles, planned for introduction from 2025 – as well as
upgrades to the quality of petrol sold locally – intended to catch Australia up
with Europe and other developed regions.
However it places hundreds of popular passenger car, SUV, ute and van models at
risk of disappearing from Australian showrooms if they are unable to meet the
new standards, known as 'Euro 6d'.
The emissions rules in place in Australia today date back to 2009 and were
superseded in Europe a decade ago – with the quality of Australian petrol among
the dirtiest in the developed world.
The new Euro 6d standards planned for Australia were introduced in Europe in
2021, and are close to or more stringent than emissions protocols in force in
other developed markets.
The tougher rules are due to come into force in Australia for new cars, SUVs
and light commercial vehicles introduced from December 2025 – and apply to all
models on sale, irrespective of launch date, from 2028."
Finally! We’ve been waiting for these new rules for quite some time.
Cheers,
