KEY: CO = carbon monoxide; HC = hydrocarbon; NOx =
nitrogen oxides; NMHC = nonmethane hydrocarbons; NMOG = nonmethane organic gas;
HCHO = formaldeyhyde.
a Smoke opacity is expressed in percentage for acceleration, lugging,
and peak modes (acceleration/lugging/peak). Lugging is when a vehicle is carrying
a load.
b Gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) is the maximum design loaded
weight.
c Several testing procedures have been used during the course of
exhaust emissions control. A steady-state 9-mode test procedure (13-mode for
diesel) was used for 1970-83 standards. For 1984, either the steady-state tests
or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) transient test procedure could
be used. For diesels, the EPA transient test was required from 1985 to the present.
For gasoline-powered vehicles, either the EPA or the Motor Vehicle Manufacturers
Association (MVMA) transient test procedure could be used during 1985-86, and
the MVMA procedure was required thereafter.
d Emissions standards apply to the useful life of the vehicle. Useful
life was 5 years/50,000 miles through 1983 and became 8 years/110,000 miles
beginning in model year 1985. 1984 was a transitional year in which vehicles
could meet the older standard (and test procedure) or the newer one. Useful
life requirement for gasoline-powered trucks meeting NOx standards for 1998
and after is 10 years/110,000 miles. Starting in 2004, the useful life will
be 10 years/110,000 miles. The useful life requirements for heavy-duty diesel
truck standards are more complex and vary by vehicle weight, pollutant, test
procedure, and year. Consult the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations for further
information.
e No standard set.
f Although emissions standards for HC and CO were in effect for
these years, they were not measured in grams per brake horsepower-hour and are,
therefore, incompatible with the engine certification section of this table.
g Vehicles can meet a NMHC + NOx standard of 2.5 g/bhp-h,
given they meet a NMHC standard of no more than 0.5 g/bhp-h.
h Starting in 2005, complete gasoline heavy-duty vehicles of 14,000
lbs GVWR or below will have to be chassis certified.
i The manufacturer has the option of satisfying this standard by
measurement of nonmethane hydrocarbons or total hydrocarbons.
j The manufacturer has the option of satisfying this standard by
measurement of nonmethane organic gas or total hydrocarbons.
k This test procedure currently exists to test complete vehicles
that have been optionally chassis certified. However, chassis certification
is not required until 2005.
l Required for complete gasoline heavy-duty vehicles only.
NOTE
Tables 4-32a and 4-32b are identical for heavy-duty diesel engines.
