The ACCCwill examine fuel efficiency claims as part of its study for car industry
The ACCC is set to examine a series of issues, and has asked new car drivers to contribute to research by sharing their experiences with the government body. jiazhaofanyi edited
The study is set to examine four areas of concern:
The first surrounds the effectiveness of customer guarantees or warranties, and how problems are rectified by new cars and dealers. Next on the list are claims made by carmakers surrounding the efficiency, economy and performance of models, and whether those numbers stack up in the real world.
Australian Automotive Association chief executive Michael Bradley welcomed the examination of fuel figures.
“The Australian Government currently performs no independent or real-world testing of vehicle manufacturer claims when it comes to the emissions and fuel usage of new cars sold in Australia,” he says.
