New Vehicle Efficiency Standard Act 2024

This Part applies the Regulatory Powers Act in relation to the new vehicle efficiency standard. This creates a framework for monitoring and investigating compliance with this Act, as well as providing for the enforcement of civil penalty provisions and the use of infringement notices and enforceable undertakings.

The Secretary may appoint inspectors for the purposes of the framework.

The Secretary may also compel the production of information or documents for certain purposes.

This Part also modifies the Regulatory Powers Act as it applies to a person’s duty to ensure that the person’s final emissions value for a year is zero or less.

A relevant court may, on application of the Secretary, make an adverse publicity order or a non‑punitive order against a person.
