Halifax police investigating Monday morning Dartmouth death as suspicious | SaltWire #newsupdateSYDNEY - Australia said on Tuesday it would relax proposed carbon emission rules for some popular pick-up trucks after the country's auto lobby raised concerns the changes could raise prices of cars and lead to fewer options for consumers.
Energy Minister Chris Bowen said some popular pick-up trucks, known in Australia as"utes" or utility vehicles, and mostly used by builders and farmers, would now be classified as light commercial cars. That means those models would not have to meet tougher fuel economy rules. The relaxation in rules comes after a similar move by the United States last week. The Biden administration slashed its target for U.S. electric vehicle adoption from 67% by 2032 to 35% after industry and autoworker backlash in Michigan, which could play a decisive role in the 2024 presidential elections.
