Canada announces final Regulations to improve fuel efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from new on-road heavy-duty vehicles and engines.


26 February 2013

The Regulations will establish progressively more stringent standards for 2014 to 2018 model-year heavy-duty vehicles such as full-size pick-ups, semi-trucks, garbage trucks and buses.

The Regulations will remain in full effect for all subsequent model-year vehicles, which will be required to adhere to the 2018 standard, and will result in GHG reductions of 19.1 megatonnes over the lifetime of the 2014-2018 model-year vehicles.

An unofficial version of the Regulations have been released and the official version of the Regulations will be published in a forthcoming edition of the Canadian Gazette.
