Total Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Transportation Sector
(millions of metric tons of CO2 Equivalents)
Focusing on North American GHG emissions by transportation sector, emissions
trends show a slight variation in the last two decades, and an increase since
reported levels of 1990. “Freight transportation CO2 emissions are projected to
continue to increase their share relative to passenger transportation emissions in
all three countries.”

North American Fuel Efficiency For New Passenger Cars
and Light-duty Trucks in Miles/Gallon
New upcoming regulations will align
Canada with new US EPA standards.
• Estimated 2013 Fuel Efficiency
Standards:
Passenger car Light-duty Truck
33.5 mpg 25.7 mpg
• New Projected Fuel Efficiency
Standards for MY 2017-2025 Program
for passenger cars, SUVs and pick-up
trucks in the US and Canada:
average of 54.5 mpg
A regulation published by the Mexican
government on June 21st, 2013, aims
to regulate CO2 emissions and the fuel
economy equivalent for new
passenger vehicles, including
cars, pickup trucks, and SUVs. The goal
of the final regulation is to raise a new
car fleet average fuel economy of 35
mpg by 2016.

Total percentage of expected reductions in GHG from MY 2010 with
implementation of HD National Program for MY 2014-2018:
Pick-up Trucks/Vans : 12-17%,
Class 7-8 Tractors: 9-23%,
Vocational Vehicles : 6-9%
The new combined US standards will reduce GHG emissions
from the US heavy-duty fleet by approximately 76 million
metric tons of CO2-equivalent annually by 2030.

“Heavy-duty trucks (classes 7 and 8) account for almost 80% of all trucks’ fuel consumption in
the US.” Use of heavy-duty trucks for freight transportation is expected to continue to rise
over the next decades.

Environmental Cooperation (CEC).
“By value, about 88% of US
trade with Canada and Mexico
moves on land.”
“At the US-Canadian
border, more than 75% of the
surface trade was handled by
only five land ports of
entry, while at the US-Mexican
border only four
ports of entry handled about the
same amount of the total land
trade.”
Main North American Trade Corridors, Gateways and Inland Freight Clusters
“In 2008, approximately half of the
total truck and rail traffic by value in
North America was handled by three
land ports of entry:
Detroit/Windsor, Nuevo
Laredo/Laredo,
and Buffalo/Niagara Falls.”
