An Australian New Vehicle Efficiency Standard—Frequently asked question (www.infrastructure.gov.au)

Looks like we are finally working towards a fuel efficiency standard.

Will be interesting to see what the final details are, especially the year at which manufacturers have to hit zero emissions, and if it's going to be a linear change to get there or otherwise.

No doubt legacy parts of the industry will be busy lobbying for their own interests instead of the planet's.

I'm concerned about what happens to my 20 year old landcruiser in the next 5 years.

From the linked page:

Will a New Vehicle Efficiency Standard impact my existing car?

No.

I don't mean from this bill, just in general they're going to push old vehicles out of the market eventually

They certainly need to be banned from urban areas.

On the list of things i don't want within a few km of my kids, diesel fumes are next on the list after pedos and just above organised religion.
