The strategy
- complements control measures already in place for emissions from on-road diesel vehicles
- sets out actions to reduce emissions from non-road diesel equipment used at EPA-licensed premises such as coal mines, equipment used by government agencies or their contractors, diesel trains operating in NSW and containerised and bulk cargo and cruise shipping at NSW ports
- responds to evidence of the increase in diesel and marine emissions in the absence of national standards for non-road diesel engines and fuel
- explains the health impacts and associated community concern due to emissions from non-road diesel equipment and transport steadily increasing
