Broad support for revised New Vehicle Efficiency Standard after car industry wins concessions for large diesel-powered SUVs and utes
Bowing to pressure from Australia’s biggest car-makers and industry lobby groups, the federal government has made crucial concessions with its proposed New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES).
The key concession will see large SUVs held to the same emissions targets as light commercial vehicles (LCVs)."

HAHA,
Has anyone had any thoughts at all that this is a Media beat up? With the current media bias atm, i wouldn't put it past them to do this, just to put more daggers into Fed Lab.
The car companies have been asking for this for over 10yrs. Fed Lib told them to F-CK Off and give us shit, which they did.
Anyway, the only workers in AUS will be happy now that their Utes will be saved!!
