Canada and the US are working towards a common North American approach to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by introducing aligned and progressively tighter regulatory requirements over the 2011-2016 model years. This would represent an approximate 20% reduction compared to the new vehicle fleet that was sold in Canada in 2007.
