Canada and EU pull back on vehicle emissions rules

Canada froze its vehicle emissions standards for three years through 2029 while keeping a 75% EV sales goal for 2035. In the EU, centrist parties agreed to lower the 2035 target from 100% to 95%, conditional on using at least 7.5% green steel.

• Canada keeps the 172 g/mile (107 g/km) standard through the end of 2029
• Ottawa and Ontario will invest $2.5 billion in automaker projects
• EU may cut its 2035 emissions target to 95% instead of 100%
