Did you know Australia's New Vehicle Efficiency Standards could have been even tougher? Thankfully, auto-industry advocates like Matt Hobbs stepped in. In an exclusive chat with Rusty and Nadine, MTAA CEO Matt Hobbs breaks down what these standards mean for drivers, manufacturers, and dealers. He also explains the credit system, the frustration over vehicle type categorisation, and potential industry casualties. Plus, Lamborghini's Chief Technical Officer, Rouven Mohr, joins the conversation, sparking Rusty and Nadine's curiosity about whether these regulations make sense for high-emission, low-import vehicles like sports cars. Prepare to be surprised!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Media coverage in the past month have highlighted diverging views towards the Government's New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES).  The NVES will, for the first time in Australia's history, set tailpipe emission targets for new light vehicles sold in Australia.  Indeed, the NVES will send a strong signal that Australia will prioritise low-emissions vehicles.  But what are the likely short-term impacts and how does it all work?  To answer these questions, John Oh, Sustainable Economist and Dennis Voznesenski, Agricultural Economist, sit down to discuss the findings of the latest note on the NVES.   ------ DISCLAIMER ------   Before listening to this podcast, you are advised to read the full Global Economic & Markets Research (GEMR) disclaimers which can be found at www.commbankresearch.com.au.

Australia is implementing a new vehicle efficiency standard in 2025 and we thought we would break it down a little bit and give you our first impressions on this standard. We'll be breaking it down and going more in depth again in a full episode.Music by The Southern River Band. Shelter is born and brewed in Busselton, Western Australia. Hosted on Acast.

It's good to be back!We kick things off by recapping Big Thinkers Ross Garnaut and Rod Sims' appearance at the National Press Club on 14 February where the duo presented some big think ideas on how Australia could acquire energy Superpower status. A Carbon Solutions Levy proposed on the carbon content of all fossil fuels produced in or imported to Australia would fund the Capacity Investment Scheme, building of new transmission and hydrogen pipelines and support early development in Superpower industries like processing iron, aluminium and other critical minerals for export. Is this a Deadpool/Wolverine bromance destined for critical success? Only time may tell! Our main paperThe Australian Government's hotly anticipated Cleaner, Cheaper to Run Cars: The Australian New Vehicle Efficiency Standard is out for consultation (you've got until March 4 people) and the scrutiny of your intrepid hosts. We have been talking about vehicle efficiency standards for donkeys' years and the Government is keen to no longer be in a club with Russia as one of two advanced economies left without them. An ambitious timeline to see us converge with proposed (OR ARE THEY) US standards by 2028 would push a big uptick of EVs in new vehicle fleets but will it all be down to our ability to COMPLETE A GOVERNMENT IT PROJECT in time? One more thingsTennant's One More Thing is ex-Bloomberg New Energy Finance charts maven Nat Bullard has published his latest annual chart-a-thon on decarbonisation progress. It is a nerdy datafeast with loads that is positive, some provocative, and a sprinkling of grimness.Frankie's One More Thing is the US EPA's introduction of a Waste Emissions Charge for methane on oil and gas facilities that exceed specified thresholds. Combined with rule changes announced at COP28 as part of their Methane Emissions Reduction Program, provides a roadmap other signatories to the Global Methane Pledge could be getting on with!Luke's One More Thing is riff on one of Garnaut's reflections in the Q&A following his press club address; governments of the past have taken on the task of making (and winning) the argument for doing Hard Things in the National Interest. It worked in the 1980s for microeconomic reform, can it work in the 2020s for climate policy? And that's all from us Summerupperers!

Are Australia's proposed ‘New Vehicle Efficiency Standards' a double-edged sword? Nadine thinks so. The standards are perhaps the most important development in Australia's journey to increasing EV uptake, and in this episode, Rusty and Nadine tell you what they think about the fine print. Also in news, find out why ‘Mr. Bean' and ‘EV Saboteur' are being used in the same sentence, and the gangs thoughts on the latest Superbowl EV commercials. Plus, Senior Editor Feann Torr is back with the latest happenings on the EV market, including the vehicles earmarked for AUS that we can thank the NVES for. We also meet Marcus Davidson, Station Officer at the Cessnock fire station, who tells us why his MG4 rivals even a Falcon Cobra!

Mark Hoffman, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Auburn University, and his graduate research assistant Karl Bohnenberger have been studying one of the lesser known contributors to poor fuel economy: rolling resistance. Rolling resistance is a measure of the effort required to keep a tire rolling. It might not grab headlines, but rolling resistance has a substantial impact on emissions and energy use. According to the US Department of Energy, conventionally fueled vehicles use up 11% of their fuel to keep their tires rolling, while electric vehicles use up to 25% of their energy for this purpose. As a result, reducing rolling resistance, as well as quality research on the subject, presents a valuable opportunity to improve vehicle efficiency and reduce the transportation sector's carbon footprint. On this episode of AASHTO's ETAP Podcast, Mark and Karl join us to chat about rolling resistance reduction as an attainable step toward a sustainable future.

In this episode of the Defence Connect Podcast, Seeing Machines general manager Patrick Nolan and flight simulation and training lead Alexander Robinson join host Phil Tarrant to discuss the work that they are completing in the human factors science sector to create AI technology that observes driver habits and attention, and the opportunities that such technology is presenting in training within the RAAF. They will reflect on the history of the company, having been founded out of the Australian National University in Canberra, the challenge of matching technological capabilities with industry requirements, and how the scope of transport vehicles that they are serving has grown and developed. Nolan and Robinson will address how their technology is being implemented in pilot training with the RAAF, the type of data that can be obtained and how that information is being best utilised, and how it is aiding in the success and cost effectiveness of pilot training. Finally, they analyse their point of difference in the market against those with similar product offerings to Seeing Machines, discuss how their technology is being implemented into various vehicles and systems, and the projects that they are currently involved in within defence industry.
