Canada Takes a New Approach to Emissions Reductions: From EV Mandate to Tailpipe Rules In a surprising shift from its previous stance, the Canadian government has announced plans to introduce strict tailpipe emissions regulations. The new rules are designed to achieve emissions reductions equivalent to a 75-per-cent electric vehicle (EV) adoption rate by 2035, a goal that was initially set to be met through a mandatory EV mandate. The government's decision to scrap the EV mandate and instead focus on tailpipe emissions suggests a more nuanced approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As the country continues to grapple with climate change, the new regulations are expected to have a significant impact on the automotive industry and could potentially accelerate the transition to cleaner transportation options.
