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 aims to encourage a greater supply of low and no emission vehicle imports to New Zealand by charging importers for vehicles with high CO2 emissions and giving credits for vehicles with low CO2 emissions.
