Sources: 4. Developments: 2. The Canadian federal government and the province of Ontario have implemented a freeze on CO2 emission standards for passenger cars and light trucks through 2029. Manufacturers must maintain a fleet average of 107 g of CO2/km, the level established for 2026, with stricter requirements deferred until the 2030 model year. This decision follows the removal of mandatory zero-emission vehicle sales quotas and is intended to support the domestic automotive industry amid trade tensions with the United States. Concurrently, the federal government has proposed amendments to the Clean Fuel Regulations to bolster the domestic low-carbon fuel industry. These changes aim to support carbon capture and storage at low-carbon fuel facilities and the co-processing of biobased feedstocks, such as canola oil, at refineries. The proposal seeks to close competitiveness gaps for Canadian producers and encourage investment in clean-technology projects, following a 75-day public consultation period. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-28: Canada proposes amendments to Clean Fuel Regulations Canada has proposed changes to its Clean Fuel Regulations to boost domestic low-carbon fuel production and support clean-tech investments, following a 75-day public consultation period. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/canada-proposes-amendments-to-clean-fuel-regulations ### 2026-10-26: Canada freezes vehicle emission standards to protect auto industry Canada is freezing CO2 emission standards for new vehicles until 2029 to support its auto industry amid trade tensions with the US and calls for a trilateral North American trade agreement. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/canada-freezes-vehicle-emission-standards-to-protect-auto-industry --- Cite as: Canadian automotive and fuel regulation adjustments.
