Significantly reducing emissions from on-road vehicles is key to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Switching to zero-emission vehicles (vehicles that can operate with no tailpipe emissions, including battery electric, plug-in hybrid electric, and fuel cell electric vehicles) will put Canada's transportation emissions on a downwards trajectory. Th...
As stated in the Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act, Canada's 2030 nationally determined contribution under the Paris Agreement is to reduce emissions by 40 to 45% below 2005 levels. This legislation also confirmed Canada's commitment to set national targets for reducing emissions every 5 years, with the goal of attaining net-zero emiss...
The 2030 Emissions Reduction Planset out new federal sales targets and requirements for new zero-emission vehicles and committed to: 1. develop a light-duty zero-emission vehicle sales regulation, which will set annually increasing requirements towards achieving 100% new light-duty zero-emission vehicles sales by 2035, including mandatory interim t...
Since 2011, the Government of Canada has had vehicle greenhouse gas emission standards that are aligned with those in the U.S. and require automakers to make annual improvements to their vehicle fleets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Under our 2020 climate plan (A healthy environment and healthy economy, PDF [5.4MB]), we committed to aligning C...
Providing purchase incentives
Budget 2022 investments included an additional $1.7 billion for purchase incentives of up to $5,000 for eligible light-duty zero-emission vehicles through the Incentives for Zero-Emission Vehicles Program, which will now be funded until March 2025. Recognizing that larger zero-emission vehicles cost more, we also expanded our vehicle price caps to capture larger zero-emission vehicle models, like sport-utility vehicles and pickup trucks, as part of the program's renewal. Following incentive p...
Infrastructure for light-duty zero-emission vehicles
With more zero-emission vehicles on the road, comes the need for more infrastructure. To meet our targets, we will continue to support the development of zero-emission vehicle infrastructure across Canada, in a strategic, targeted way. Building these stations not only ensures Canadians can access them, but also offers good business opportunities in the infrastructure, technology, and utilities sectors. Prior to Budget 2022, the government allocated $376 million to make chargers and refuelling...
Infrastructure for medium- and heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles
Zero-emission technologies for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles are less commercially ready than for light-duty vehicles and significant barriers exist that could slow adoption, including inadequate charging and refuelling infrastructure in both private and public settings. Although there is the feasibility, and need, for infrastructure that can serve both light-duty vehicles and medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, given Canada's targets to reach 100% zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles...
Nationwide surveys have repeatedly shown the importance of ensuring Canadians have more information made available to them to learn about the benefits of zero-emission vehicles. Canadians strongly believe that these vehicles benefit the environment, but some feel they're expensive and hard to fuel/charge. Canadians also have limited experience with...
The Government of Canada has a long history of supporting zero-emission vehicle RD&D in key areas including batteries, hydrogen and fuel cells, electric motors, and charging and refuelling infrastructure. Recent investments include the $76M Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Demonstration Program to support technology demonstrations of next-generation...
Consistent with the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy, the Greening Government Strategy sets ambitious targets for the federal fleet, including adopting low-carbon mobility solutions, deploying supporting infrastructure in government facilities, and modernizing operations. The s...
May 24, 2021 · Sustainable transport includes public transportation, such as electric buses and trains and BRT systems that can carry people far more efficiently than cars. Notably, while electric cars pollute less and reduce individual carbon footprints, they do not reduce congestion.
Oct 12, 2021 · In the absence of transformative change towards sustainable transport, could mean rising emissions, increasing air and noise pollution, and worsening trends in road safety.
