LTNZ estimates the average age of any given car on New Zealand roads is 11 years. We estimate that this 11 year old car is emitting between 2.0 û 5.0 grams of HC (Hydrocarbon, or soot) and NOx (Nitrous Oxide) per km.
This is a huge amount of pollution, and to combat this the government requires all new cars to meet an emissions standard.

You'll be able to compare the difference in environmental impact caused by an average New Zealand car in comparison to Honda Low Emission Vehicles (LEV) and Ultra Low Emission Vehicles (ULEV).
