The national climate change strategy proposed to implement a system of fuel economy labelling for new cars and the monitoring of carbon dioxide emissions rates for all newly registered cars. Since August 2001, regulations require all new passenger cars for sale to be individually labelled with fuel economy and carbon dioxide emissions information. A progress report on the national climate change strategy, published in 2002, identified annual emission reductions of 380,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide by 2010 from this initiative.
