Environmental Standards Initiatives
• Mandating CO2 emissions
• Introducing Euro 5/6 emission standards for light vehicles
• Enabling fuel consumption labelling for electric vehicles
JAPAN 2010
33rd APEC Transportation Working Group, Tokyo, Japan, October 10-14 2010
Mandating CO2 emissions• The Federal Government made an election commitment
to mandate CO2 emission standards for all new light vehicles including cars from 2015
• The 2008 national average was 220 g/km• Analysis has shown net benefits under all reasonable
scenarios• The target levels will be determined by a process of
consultation with key stakeholders

Euro 5/6 emission standards
• The current emission standard ADR 79/02 for light vehicles is at Euro 4 – ADR 79/02 was phased in between 2006 and 2010
• A draft consultation RIS to consider the case for EURO 5/6 was released on 8 January 2010
• The draft RIS concludes that there are net benefits from adopting Euro 5/6 standards

Euro 5/6 emission standards• The public comment process indicated
broad support
• Vehicle Industry raised concerns over a number of issues particularly implementation timing
• The RIS is currently being finalised and is expected to be submitted to the minister shortly

Standards for Electric Vehicles
• EVs are expected to comply with passenger car ADRs– Crash performance, lighting, braking...– Transport Ministers not willing to compromise
safety standards for lightweight EVs– Appropriate for EVs to also be covered by
labelling standards
JAPAN 2010
33rd APEC Transportation Working Group, Tokyo, Japan, October 10-14 2010
Fuel Consumption Labelling for Electric Vehicles
• ADR81/02 specifies requirements for fuel consumption labelling– ECE Reg 101 adopted in ADR81/02 covers all
light vehicles, including EVs and plug-in hybrids, but
– ADR was silent on labelling requirements for EVs and plug-ins

33rd APEC Transportation Working Group, Tokyo, Japan, October 10-14 2010
Fuel Consumption Labelling for Electric Vehicles
• ADR81/02 test procedure necessitates a modified label format for EVs and plug-ins– Primary results from testing pure EVs are range (km)
and energy consumption (Wh/km)
– Test for plug-in hybrids also records CO2 emissions and fuel consumption
– Existing label format was not adequate for these vehicles
JAPAN 2010
33rd APEC Transportation Working Group, Tokyo, Japan, October 10-14 2010
Labelling for Electric Vehicles• In 2009-10, consulted on suitable format
for EV label under ADR81/02
– Most contentious issue around recharging emissions
• Minister signed off on new label format at the end of September 2010
JAPAN 2010

Features of New Label for EVs & Plug-in Hybrids
• Recast as an “Energy Consumption” label• Utilises a single format for all vehicles with external
charge capacity
• Pure EVs will display “0” for CO2 emissions but alert consumers to the potential for CO2 emissions from recharging, without attempting to quantify those emissions on the label – instead refer consumers to the Green Vehicle Guide for more
information

Proposed GVG Additions for EVs• The Government’s major consumer information resource on the
environmental performance of vehicles is the Green Vehicle Guide (GVG) website
• Following the Minister’s decision on the new EV label under ADR 81/02, the GVG will be amended to:
– Provide the energy consumption, range, CO2 and fuel consumption values from ADR81/02 (matching the label data)
– Rate pure EVs as “zero emissions” vehicles for both Greenhouse and Air Pollution Ratings (i.e. score 10/10 on both ratings)
– Rate plug-in hybrids on basis of CO2 value from ADR81/02 for Greenhouse Rating, and on basis of standard to which vehicle is certified (ADR79/xx) for Air Pollution Rating
– Provide consumers with additional information and calculation tools regarding recharging emissions and well to wheel emissions
• GVG amendments expected to be in place before end of 2010
