In accordance with section 161(2) of the Land Transport Act 1998, Land Transport New Zealand, on behalf of the Minister of Transport, gives notice of the Minister’s intention to make a Rule concerning emissions standards for vehicles entering the New Zealand fleet, and advises that draft Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Exhaust Emissions [2007] (Rule 33001/2) is available for public comment.
This draft Rule revises and replaces Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Exhaust Emissions 2006 (Rule 33001/1).
The revised Rule updates the existing minimum standards for new vehicles entering the fleet.
It would require minimum emissions standards for used vehicles imported into New Zealand and introduce a requirement to test the emissions of those vehicles.
It also proposes other, minor changes to clarify elements of the Rule.
A copy of draft Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Exhaust Emissions [2007] may be obtained by calling the Land Transport
New Zealand Help Desk on freephone 0800 699 000 or by visiting the Land Transport New Zealand website
www.landtransport.govt.nz/consultation/vehicle-exhaust-emissions
The draft Rule is also available for viewing at Land Transport New Zealand’s regional offices.
A copy has been made available to groups and individuals who have registered an interest in the Rule.
Submissions on draft Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Exhaust Emissions [2007] close on 9 July 2007.
