Major vehicle manufacturers popular in Australia are starting to get serious about zero emissions, and paving the way for strong fuel efficiency standards that will help make electric vehicles (EVs) cheaper and more available.

This briefing paper shows that some manufacturers are quickly moving towards electrifying their fleets, with major brands mapping out a pathway to sell nothing but zero emissions vehicles by the mid-2030s or earlier.

Many of the companies manufacturing the cars driven by millions of Australians are on the precipice of a clean transport revolution. The Climate Council is calling on the federal government to get real and set fuel efficiency standards that results in 100 per cent of new vehicles sold in Australia being zero emissions as soon as possible.
