Default Re: Australian fuel efficiency standards aimed at cutting petrol bills, 'catching up' with US

What I'm interested in is what is the CO2/KM for the top three selling vehicles of 2023? How do they fit into those charts above, and is this going to significantly change buyer behavior just like the introduction of all the tax incentives did?

If you want to keep selling Ranger and Hilux then you need to offer other cars to bring the average down, though mind you they've set two different targets, one for passenger vehicles and one for Thailand Specials.

We might see the end of the diesel Thailand Special though, look at how ambitious some of those CO2 targets are in the next few years.
