Overview
We are seeking views on improvements to Australia’s fuel quality standards.
The department is investigating changes to the fuel quality standards. Better quality fuel would pave the way for the introduction of Euro 6d noxious emissions standards for light vehicles.
Together, improved fuel quality and Euro 6d noxious emissions standards could ensure:
better air quality
improved health outcomes
the latest and cleanest vehicle technology works as designed, and
greater access to more efficient vehicles.
We have developed a draft regulation impact statement (RIS) based on a cost benefit analysis completed in 2021. Your feedback will ensure the department has the most up-to-date information, and help to shape the department’s advice to government.
Draft regulation impact statement
This draft RIS is a consultation document only, and does not represent a government decision nor formal government policy.
