Our role is to educate entities on what they need to do to comply with the New Vehicle Efficiency Standard Act 2024(Opens in a new tab/window) (NVES Act). It is also our role to enforce compliance by using our regulatory powers as prescribed. 

We conduct multiple activities to support and enable voluntary compliance.
