Clean Car Standard

The Clean Car Standard is one of a range of government initiatives to tackle transport sector CO₂ emission levels as part of the effort to address climate change.

The Clean Car Standard is a government target that regulates importers to reduce CO₂ emissions to specific targets by encouraging a greater supply of low and no emission vehicle imports to New Zealand.

You can contact the Clean Car Standard team by emailing CCSImporter@nzta.govt.nz.
