EFFICIENCY sTANDARDS

The Smart Energy Council strongly supports the New Vehicle Efficiency Standards, which will deliver $1000 in fuel savings per new vehicle by 2028.

The Smart Energy Council is advocating for ambitious standards, legislated urgently. 

“Australians are paying far too much for petrol, having been forced to drive much less efficient cars than any other developed country. This must, and will, change,” said Smart Energy Council Chief Executive John Grimes.
