Canada Seeks Public Feedback on Hydrogen-Powered Vehicle Regulations
Canada Looking for Feedback from the Public Regarding Regulations for Hydrogen Powered Vehicles: With hydrogen vehicle propulsion becoming more popular as an option for the future, Transport Canada has requested feedback from the public regarding the possibility of Canadian regulations that follow the existing hydrogen regulations issued by the international community (GTR 13, UN 134, FMVSS 307 & 308). The objective would be having safe hydrogen powered vehicles based on the same principles with slightly different compliance requirements.
