The Green Vehicle Guide provides ratings on the environmental performance of new vehicles sold in Australia. The site can be used to see how vehicles compare on greenhouse and air pollution emissions.

For new car buyers, the site identifies the vehicle with the highest ratings which meets the purchasers needs. Detailed information is provided to enable identification of individual vehicle models, including the make, model and variant name, engine and transmission, body style, seating and fuel type.

Information is provided for each vehicle to help you determine the level of emissions of different vehicles and consequently their impact on the environment. The Guide is regularly updated to ensure a comprehensive listing of new passenger cars, 4WDs and light commercial vehicles sold in Australia.

The ratings are based upon government recognised test standards for measuring and regulating motor vehicle exhaust emissions. Greenhouse ratings are based on the carbon dioxide emissions. Air pollution ratings are based primarily on the emission standard to which the vehicle has been tested and certified for supply to the Australian market.
