Canada's federal government has signed an agreement with California to further reduce vehicle emissions.

Environment Minister Catherine McKenna announced Wednesday that the two governments will work together on regulations to cut greenhouse gases from vehicles and promote the use of cleaner-running vehicles.

McKenna announced the agreement with California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and signed the memo of understanding with the chair of the California Air Resources Board, Mary Nichols.

California has pioneered low-carbon fuel standards in the United States, and Canada is aiming to cut emissions by 30 million tonnes by 2030, the equivalent to taking seven million cars off the road.
