Australian Government initiatives to reduce emissions from road transport

Noxious emissions

Noxious emissions from vehicle exhausts can cause smog, heart and lung disease and cancer. To minimise these impacts, Australia has noxious emission standards. These standards set maximum limits for noxious emissions from vehicle exhausts for new road vehicles supplied to Australia, and have been progressively tightened over the past 40 years.

Vehicle safety and the environment

The Department is responsible for managing policy and standards development on vehicle safety, emissions, vehicle noise and fuel consumption labelling.
