Answer

I am advised by the Ministry of Transport that public consultation is not being undertaken for Stage 1 of the 2026 Clean Vehicle Standard review. In conducting the Stage 1 review, officials are engaging with the motor vehicle industry, international bodies, other government agencies including the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment, key advocacy groups and subject matter experts.
