Objective of the Rule

Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Exhaust Emissions Amendment 2010 amends Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Exhaust Emissions 2007 (the Rule), which sets out requirements aimed at progressively improving the emissions standards of vehicles entering the New Zealand fleet.

The objective of this amendment Rule is to make changes to the Rule:


Extent of consultation

For the purposes of consultation, amendments proposed to Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Exhaust Emissions 2007 and eight other Land Transport Rules were combined into a single draft Rule, Land Transport Rule: Omnibus Amendment 2009 (the Omnibus Amendment Rule).

On 13 November 2009, the NZ Transport Agency sent details of the amendment proposals by letter or email to about 1800 groups and individuals who had registered an interest in the Rules to be amended. The draft Omnibus Amendment Rule was made available through the NZ Transport Agency's Contact Centre and, together with Questions and Answers, was also available on the NZ Transport Agency website. The availability of the draft for comment was publicised in the metropolitan daily newspapers in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin, selected regional daily newspapers and in the New Zealand Gazette.

The NZ Transport Agency received 257 submissions on the draft Omnibus Amendment Rule, of which six commented on the proposed requirements in this amendment Rule. Following consultation, the provisions in the draft Omnibus Amendment Rule were split into nine separate amendment Rules, including this Rule. The submissions that were received were taken into account in drafting this amendment Rule before it was submitted to the Minister of Transport for signing.
