ECCC to Suspend GHG Trailer Regulation Implementation Until May 2022

Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has informed CTA that an Interim Order Modifying the Operation of the Heavy-duty Vehicle and Engine Greenhouse Gas Emission Regulations will be published with the purpose of suspending the implementation of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission standards for trailers in Canada until May 3, 2022.

The Interim Order is available under Government notices on the Canada Gazette website.

The Council Order with an explanatory note providing additional details on the Interim Order can also be found under Orders in Council on the Canada Gazette website.

Due to the Interim Order put in place by the Minister, ECCC will be putting a hold on the processing of applications for authorization to use the National Emissions Mark and Canada-Unique submissions for trailers until further notice.

The Interim Order does not affect any provisions related to the heavy-duty vehicle and engine standards of the Regulations.

CTA will continue to work with ECCC and its members throughout this process and will continue to keep the industry informed of any changes.
