    1. If so, how?

The Commonwealth Government is responsible for setting the emissions standards for light and heavy vehicles.

The Government is committed to reducing emissions from motor vehicles and continues to work with the Commonwealth Government to implement cleaner fuels and cleaner vehicles through a range of programs and initiatives.
