Land Transport Act 1998

Notification of Ordinary Rule

Pursuant to section 161(3) of the Land Transport Act 1998, notification is hereby given of the making of Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Exhaust Emissions Amendment 2012 (Rule 33001/6) (“the amendment Rule”).

The amendment Rule makes changes to Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Exhaust Emissions 2007, which is aimed at achieving improvements in air quality by reducing the levels of harmful emissions from motor vehicles.

The amendment Rule enables the current exhaust emissions standards for imported used vehicles to continue to apply beyond 2012, pending a review of standards planned for 2014, and implements the Euro 5 standard, and its Australian equivalent, for new light vehicles entering the fleet.

It also updates acceptable standards for the small number of new vehicles that are certified to Japanese and US standards, and makes minor changes to clarify existing requirements.

The amendment Rule comes into force on 1 January 2013.

It is available for inspection free of charge at the National Office of the NZ Transport Agency, 50 Victoria Street, Wellington 6141, and at the NZ Transport Agency’s regional offices.

Bound copies of Rules are available for purchase from selected bookshops that sell legislation and most can be purchased from Wickliffe Solutions, PO Box 932, Dunedin 9054. Telephone: (06) 354 6337.

Land Transport Rules are available on the website at www.nzta.govt.nz/resources/rules/about/
