Is Your HiLux Next?

Labor's new emissions laws won't ban your ute. They'll just make it unaffordable.

The New Vehicle Efficiency Standard, which started 1 January 2025, fines car manufacturers $100 per gram of CO2 over the emissions limit — per vehicle sold. By 2029 those limits halve. Manufacturers have already confirmed they'll pass the cost to buyers. The HiLux is Australia's best-selling vehicle. Tradies, farmers, and working Australians will pay the price for an inner-city policy that has no idea how the real Australia works.
