Member companies of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association (CVMA) remain committed to making continued progress on fleet fuel economy and GHG emissions, while offering products consumers are demanding. Canada will continue to align with a single national standard with the U.S. given the highly integrated and long lead development nature of the automotive industry.
The CVMA recognizes that the Canadian Government will conduct a detailed, data driven mid-term technical review on vehicle fleet GHG emissions before finalizing regulations. CVMA will continue to be engaged as the process unfolds and will support a fact-based review of the market that will result in a standard that reflects the safety impacts of new vehicle technology and achieves year over year improvements.
“Having worked so hard toward a new North American trade agreement that supports our highly integrated economies, Canada needs to ensure key national regulatory standards remain aligned with the United States so that the auto sector can deliver vehicles to Canadian consumers with continuing environmental improvements at affordable costs,” said CVMA president Mark Nantais.
