The 4 new NVES specific fields are going liveon the RAV
From 1 July 2025, NVES-specific data entered on the RAV is mandatory. They must be accurate as they will be used by the NVES Regulator to calculate an entities’ interim emissions value(lEV) against the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions targets set in the New Vehicle Efficiency Standard Act 2024 (NVES Act).
NVES vehicle type

Mass in running order (MlRO) values (kilograms)

Complying with the NVES
The NVES Act sets carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions targets for new light passenger cars and commercial vehicles up to 4.5 tonnes gross vehicle mass. Entities have a duty to meet or beat the emissions targets for the vehicles they supply to the Australian market over a performance period.
Over time, the emissions target is lowered. To continue to meet or beat the target, entities must provide more choices of fuel-efficient, low or zero emissions vehicles across their fleet.
If this value is zero or less, you may expect to receive NVES units. If this value is above zero, you will need to acquire and extinguish NVES units by the end of 2027 or you will receive an infringement notice valued at AU$50 per CO2 g/km (grams per kilometre) over zero.
