Many Canadians enjoy the hobby of restoring older passenger cars and light trucks. It is therefore fitting to remind the owners of North American-built, eight-cylinder passenger cars and light trucks produced between 1970 and 1980 of the danger of flex-fan blade failures.
BACKGROUND
Please find below links to the six studies and assessments commissioned by Transport Canada (TC) on behalf of the Councils of Deputy Ministers / Ministers Responsible for Transportation and Highway Safety (CODMT/COMT).
With the assistance of a federal-provincial steering committee, TC initiated these studies in 2007 to assess the implications of a national heavy truck speed limiter requirement from a safety, environmental, economic and operational perspective.
Transport Canada publishes a variety of information related to its many activities and responsibilities.
This section provides information and resources to help you find Transport Canada publications and reports, as well as links to other documents related to transportation.
The Forms Catalogue provides access to a number of departmental forms. Canadian Transportation Resource Guides are available through Transport Canada's library services.

In late 2005, the Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) called on the federal and provincial governments to mandate the activation of speed limiters on all heavy trucks traveling into or within Canada at no more than 105 kilometres per hour (kph).
