This bodes very poorly for Ford, with 80% (approximately) of their sales in Australia being Ranger and Everest. I wonder how long Ford US decide to pull the plug on Australia’s market.

The government want to push the citizenry to drive the cheap, dangerous junk coming out of China (think BYD).

Interesting times ahead. About people got off their backsides and told their local MP’s they don’t support a measure forced in such a short time frame.

Aren't the diesel utes exempted/on a different emissions scheme?

The "new" Euro 6A, which is already a decade old, comes into play in 2025 with a grace period till 2028 which will affect diesel utes as well.

This new fleet emissions will also apply as an added incentive to clean up emissions.

Quicker we get brands to **** off junk diesels with numerous components that fail (DPF, EGR, overpriced injectors running 30,000 PSI, etc) the better.
