Company Average Fuel Consumption

On April 1, 2009 the Government of Canada announced that new Passenger Automobile and Light Truck Greenhouse Gas Emission Regulations would be developed to limit greenhouse gas emissions from the automotive sector under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA), 1999.  Beginning in model year 2011, the motor vehicle industry will submit data to Environment Canada. As a result, on March 31, 2010 Transport Canada’s Fuel Consumption Program (FCP) ended.

The Company Average Fuel Consumption (CAFC) number is a weighted average fuel consumption number for a given company or manufacturer. CAFC numbers are currently calculated annually by Transport Canada for every company that submits data under the Fuel Consumption Program.
