REJECTION * Australia - Local truck makers reject US emission standards
Sydney,Australia -ATN, by Michael House -22 May 2009: -- Mandatory vehicle emission standards, as planned for the United States, would be complex and unnecessary in Australia, truck manufacturers say... Federal and state transport ministers are due to consider the US plan which will enforce a standard of 15km per litre on average for heavy vehicles by 2016, compared to the current average of 10km per litre... But the Truck Industry Council (TIC) says while it may be viable for passenger cars, trucks are a different story... Executive Director, Terry Pennington, says although many countries around the world are planning to cut truck emissions, Australia is already doing its part in curbing transport pollution considering its unique transport industry... The Australian Conservation Foundation yesterday called on the transport ministers’ council, to meet tomorrow, to set mandatory fuel consumption standards for Australian-made cars, but did not put any demands in relation to heavy vehicles...
