Australia's Vehicle Emissions Drop, But Still Lag Behind
Update: 2025-12-08
Description
Australias vehicle fleet is transitioning to cleaner options, with hybrid and electric cars gaining popularity, reducing emissions. However, progress is slower than in Europe and the US due to larger, heavier vehicles and longer vehicle lifespans. The National Transport Commissions report shows a 1.5% drop in emissions in 2024, driven by hybrid and electric vehicle sales. Despite this, Australias emissions remain 34% higher than Europes and average vehicle size has increased, contributing to higher emissions intensity.
