The industry as a whole exceeded the 2024 ZEV Mandate headline targets of 22% for cars and 10% for vans. Around 20% of cars and 7% of vans sold in 2024 were zero emission. Industry took advantage of in-built flexibilities, as targets can be met through means other than just ZEV sales. Individual manufacturer compliance information is available here: Vehicle Emissions Trading Schemes (VETS) 2024 final compliance information.

The 2025 scheme year is currently being administered.
