The New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES) saves you money at the fuel bowser, brings cleaner cars to Australia and gives you more choice of new, efficient vehicles.
What a New Vehicle Efficiency Standard means for Australians
The NVES helps to:
- save you money at the bowser
- give you more choice of new cars that are fuel-efficient, low or zero emissions
- reduce transport emissions, improving the air that you and your family breathe.
The NVES applies to new cars sold in the Australian market. The introduction of the NVES keeps Australia on track to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
The NVES Regulator is responsible for enforcing and implementing compliance with the New Vehicle Efficiency Standard Act 2024 (NVES Act). Visit the NVES Regulator website to find out more about their role.
