The Canadian Prime Minister's government Justin Trudeau has set Canada's emissions reduction plan in a new report, which highlighted the implementation of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) by 2035.

According to a Bank of Canada report released last fall, the total spending by the government and businesses to make Canada emission-free will be over 2 trillion dollars - about 60 billion dollars annually. The 2030 emissions reduction plan will require that by 2026, 20% of light vehicle sales be zero-emission ZEVs, 60% by 2030, and 100% by 2035. 

Sales of heavy and medium-duty vehicles (MHDV) will also be reduced to 35%, but emission standards will not be applied to them like light vehicles.
 

Zero emissions for cars in Canada 
 

The term "zero emissions" is a loose term, as some vehicles described still operate either by a gasoline or hydrogen engine, and according to the Canadian government’s website, the concept of zero emissions ZEV means a vehicle has the capability to produce no emissions from the exhaust pipe while it can still have a conventional internal combustion engine, and the car can operate without using it."

This technically means that a zero-emission bike if it does not burp while riding, and the supercharged GT500 rolling down a hill in neutral can also be considered zero emissions as well.
Canada bans the sale of internal combustion vehicles

The key word the government uses is "potential," meaning battery electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles will remain available for purchase, while pure hybrid vehicles and internal combustion-only vehicles will not be sold. Transportation represents 25 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions in Canada, and half of these emissions come from cars and light trucks which represent 26 percent of total emissions.

Canada’s new climate action plan promises to spend an additional 9.1 billion dollars to reach Canada’s climate goals of 40 percent below 2005 levels by 2030. An additional 400 million dollars of government funding will be directed toward the goal of adding 50,000 ZEV charging stations, while 500 million dollars from the Canada Infrastructure Bank will be allocated to service charging station infrastructure.
