Québec is First Canadian Province to Apply California Vehicle Standards

Beginning in mid-January, Québec will enforce vehicle greenhouse gas (GHG) emission standards equivalent to those in California.  CA’s standard requires that new vehicles, on average, achieve an emissions reduction of 30 percent by 2016.  Québec’s regulation will apply to all 2010-2016 model-year cars and light trucks sold, leased or marketed in Québec.   The standards will encourage large scale use of more efficient technology as automobile manufacturers are required to ensure their average fleet GHG emissions do not exceed these regulatory levels.
