Australian motorists are buying more fuel-efficient cars producing lower emissions than ever before, according to the Federal Government’s National Transport Commission (NTC).
The NTC’s claim follows a report compiled by the commission using Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI) data, showing a sizeable drop in average carbon dioxide emissions for new passenger cars.
NTC chief Paul Retter said average annual CO2 emissions for new passenger and light commercial vehicles fell to 192 grams per kilometre travelled last year; the third-highest drop since records began in 2002.
