Ban of combustion engine vehicles in Québec

The Québec Regulation mandates a phased restriction on the sale of new internal combustion engine (ICE) motor vehicles, which run on fuel like gasoline, diesel, or natural gas. By 2035, the sale of these vehicles will be completely banned. This ban targets light-duty combustion engine vehicles, including passenger and commercial cars, light trucks, and most SUVs and pickup trucks. However, mopeds, motorcycles, and off-road vehicles such as snowmobiles and ATVs are exempt.

Starting January 1, 2034, only zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) of model year 2035 or later can be marketed. From December 31, 2035, the sale and lease of all new motor vehicles that are not ZEVs, including hybrids and plug-in hybrids, will be prohibited. Additionally, the sale of combustion engines will be banned.
