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.
This action plan reflects the Government of Canada's initiatives announced and implemented since 2016 to show how these measures are working together to help Canadians and Canadians businesses make the switch to zero-emission vehicles.
The Government of Canada is taking a comprehensive approach to support this transition by making significant investments in purchase incentives and charging stations. These investments will be coupled with a light-duty zero-emission vehicle sales regulation, which will set annually increasing requirements towards achieving 100% new light-duty zero-emission vehicle sales by 2035, including mandatory interim targets of at least 20% of all new light-duty vehicles offered for sale by 2026 and at least 60% by 2030.
