Canada has just joined a broad set of countries in the decision to ban the sale of vehicles powered exclusively by gasoline and diesel engines from 2035.
Following the commitment made in 2021, the current government of Canada finalized this week the rules aimed at reducing CO2 emissions, determining that all new passenger vehicles sold in the country must be zero-emission from 2035.
In the case of plug-in hybrids, the approved rules determine that only models with extended range can be considered zero-emission, along with fuel cell electric vehicles.
The Canadian government has also approved a set of goals to reduce CO2 emissions, which include zero-emission vehicles accounting for at least 20% of all new vehicle sales by 2026 and at least 60% by 2030.
It should be noted that electric vehicle sales in Canada currently account for just over 10% of new model sales.
