One-Size-Fits-All Vehicle Policy Hinders Emissions GoalsApplying a single clean-car rule to both new and used imports is undermining New Zealand’s emissions goals, says VIA Chief Executive Greig Epps. Rather than improving real-world emissions outcomes, the one-size-fits-all approach may be slowing down the very turnover the policy is meant to encourage. “It’s not just trying to reduce emissions,” Epps says. “You can influence future production with new-vehicle policy,” Epps says. Restricting that supply doesn’t drive down emissions averages, it slows down fleet turnover which drives up real-world emissions.
