Section 1 Disposition versions

2023-10-05

1. In this Regulation, unless the context indicates otherwise,

“low-emission motor vehicle” means a vehicle propelled, as the case may be,

(1)  by the association of an electric motor or another means of propulsion that emits no pollutants with an engine that emits pollutants;

(2)  solely by a hydrogen internal combustion engine; or

(3)  solely by an electric motor whose battery used to supply the motor is recharged from a source that is not on board the vehicle or by a motor that emits pollutants;

and that meets the conditions provided for in section 2; (véhicule automobile à faibles émissions)

“low-speed motor vehicle” means a zero-emission motor vehicle equipped with at least 3 wheels that, on a plane paved surface and over a distance of 1.6 km, reaches a maximum speed between 32 and 40 km/h, whose electric range, when it travels without interruption at its maximum speed with a load of 150 kg, is not less than 40 kilometres, and whose gross weight rating is less than 1,361 kg; (véhicule automobile à basse vitesse)

“motor vehicle with a range extender” means a low-emission motor vehicle equipped with a range extender that enables it, where it travels and has used all of its basic electric range, to continue travelling over a distance that must be less than the distance that the range allows to travel and whose basic electric range is at least 121 km; (véhicule automobile avec un prolongateur d’autonomie)

“reconditioned motor vehicle” means a motor vehicle that, in addition to the conditions set out in paragraphs 1 and 2 of section 6 of the Act to increase the number of zero-emission motor vehicles in Québec in order to reduce greenhouse gas and other pollutant emissions (chapter A-33.02), meets, at the time of its sale or lease by a motor vehicle manufacturer, the following conditions:

(1)  the vehicle has the same equipment as a new motor vehicle of the same model and the same model year, or a more recent model year, offered for sale or lease in Québec; the equipment may be of higher quality than the original equipment;

(2)  the equipment is in a condition comparable to the condition of the original equipment of a new motor vehicle of the same model and the same model year;

(3)  whichever comes first

(a)  when subtracting the number representing the model year of the motor vehicle from the number representing the calendar year during which the motor vehicle was registered for the first time in Québec, the result obtained does not exceed 4; or

(b)  the number of kilometres indicated on the vehicle’s odometer does not exceed 100,000 km;

(4)  it is covered by the same conventional warranty as that offered by the motor vehicle manufacturer for a new motor vehicle of the same model and the same model year sold or leased in Québec, for the unexpired term of the warranty for such a vehicle; (véhicule automobile remis en état)

“zero-emission motor vehicle” means a motor vehicle propelled solely by an electric motor, including a motor vehicle whose motor is supplied by a hydrogen fuel cell, or another means of propulsion that emits no pollutants and whose sole element emitting pollutants is the vehicle’s air conditioner. (véhicule automobile zéro émission)
