Pursuant to section 161(3) of the Land Transport Act 1998, notification is hereby given of the making of Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Exhaust Emissions 2007 (Rule 33001/2).
This Rule, which comes into force on 3 January 2008, 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 requires minimum emissions standards for used vehicles imported into New Zealand and introduces a requirement to test the emissions of those vehicles. It also sets out other minor changes to clarify elements of the Rule.
