According to a document prepared by the Independent Motor Vehicle Dealers Association (IMVDA).

New Zealand Government is planning to restrict the importation of used vehicles beginning from 2008 to reduce exhaust emission from old vehicles.

As for gasoline-powered vehicles, the Government plans to introduce, from 2008, the same emission standards which were previously introduced to Japan in 2000.

For diesel-powered vehicles, it will introduce the 2002 Japanese emission standards to New Zealand in 2009.

New Zealand Cabinet already agreed that the Ministry of Transport consults on the above-mentioned scheme.
