Diesel emissions standards regulate the amount of pollutants that diesel engines can emit to reduce air pollution. Proponents argue that stricter standards improve air quality and public health by reducing harmful emissions. Opponents argue that it increases costs for manufacturers and consumers and could reduce the availability of diesel vehicles.

Yes
Any and all Emission standards only serve to hurt the pockets of the poor. Our current emission standards are fine.
@9ZJWQMBOne Nation5mos5MO
This question needs to be more specific. Is the question talking about the diesel emissions form everyday traffic? Why go after small emissions vehicles when cruse-liners emit at least a hundred thousand times the emissions than everyday traffic for nothing but mere leisure?
@ISIDEWITH11mos11MO
No
Any and all Emission standards only serve to hurt the pockets of the poor. Our current emission standards are fine.
@9ZJWQMBOne Nation5mos5MO
Dunno, cannot be bothered. After all if you were that passionate to even create these questions why would you not research this yourself, rather than ask a bunch of half assed students who couldn't be bothered to answer the question, as much as spare a thought for the matter.
Yes, but the government needs to provide funding to transport companies and sole traders to assist with emission reductions
No, but incentivise manufacturers to be more strict with their emission standards and to retire diesel vehicles.
Given the fact China, India and Russia provide more carbon emissions than the rest of the world combined, any restrictions we put on ourselves feels largely ceremonial and pointless
@B3WMBST3wks3W
Phase diesel vehicles out over time, but not until electric and environmentally friendly alternatives for transport are available.
@B3TVWF83wks3W
No but the government should encourage people to use other vechiles that do not damage the environment
@B3QHWFSOne Nation 4wks4W
I’m on the wall yes and no. I really tink bring electric and self driving vehicles should not happen
@B3NMNMK4wks4W
Yes, but only If the government starts genuinely caring about the environment instead of pretending that they care.
@B3BQ26M1mo1MO
Yes, however our infrastructure in new estates does not support everyone owning an electric vehicle.
We also have huge issues with our renewable industry in the domestic/residential sectors as we have a huge influx of low quality solar and battery sales companies flooding the market.
We need quality products with proper government assistance to have installed.
NO, they shouldn't instead add more PT PL RH adding 5-10 percent more and cat converters must be made from a titanium alloy from the muffler to 10cm past the cat and the government help pay 30-43% to moddfiy them and adding more PT PL RH metals to the cats
Until transportation methods improve, restrictions on diesel could hurt movement of goods. A stop gap measure could be a tax or incentive to use, or not use diesel for transportation, respectively.
Not without first taxing big industry such as aviation & mining but allowing businesses under a certain number to be free from this to prevent hurting small time trucking companies, farmers etc
@B2L4B6H2mos2MO
Yes, however farmers should be exempt from diesel restrictions until the technology is capable for industrial use.
@B2DNDWQ3mos3MO
Yes, as long as costs for manufacturers and consumers are not increased, and the availabiltiy of diesel vehicles is not compromised
@9W7FMBV6mos6MO
Emissions standards should consist of reliably getting eco-friendly energy to the public, incentivising energy and not hurting people immediately as well as giving time for energy companies to switch over to not bankrupt businesses.
@9VVZXF96mos6MO
Diesel engines may make more pollution but changing to a petrol engine is only a little step and not the overall answer.
@9SYC4SQ7mos7MO
Yes but add a bit of subsidies for consumers who can’t afford the newer and more environmentally friendly vehicles.
@9SQ56QG7mos7MO
yes, but not too much to the extent where manufacterers and consumers are suffering economically.
@9RZM3V98mos8MO
Yes, but only if increasing costs for manufacturers are subsidised, and the availability of diesel vehicles is not compromised.
@9RKZCVB8mos8MO
Yes, but only if costs are subsidised, and the availability of diesel vehicles is not compromised.
@9QS3S9L9mos9MO
Yes, if manufacturing costs are subsidised by the government, and if the availability of diesel vehicles is not compromised or reduced.
@9PDPBQY10mos10MO
Yes, as long as manufacturing costs are subsidised and the availability of diesel vehicles is not reduced.
Yes, but only with government subsidies to prevent high costs, and no government intervention in the availability of diesel vehicles.
@9TQ5HHD7mos7MO
Yes, as long as costs for manufacturers are subsidised, and the availability of diesel vehicles is not reduced.
