Toyota Australia strongly recommends a holistic approach towards the development of a fuel efficiency standard, and therefore requests the mandating of a higher quality of fuel and the introduction of a range of accompanying complementary measures to hasten the uptake of more environmentally friendly vehicles so that an effective standard be implemented. Any proposed standard also needs to take into account the uniqueness of the Australian market by tailoring the regime to meet Australian needs, rather than simply applying the same parameters as used in overseas markets.
