From 1968 to 1978, all trucks with a GVWR up to 6,000 pounds were classifiedas light-duty trucks and were required to meet the same standards. As <strong>of</strong> 1979, the maximum weight was raised to 8,500 pounds GVWR. During1988-93, light duty trucks were divided into two subcategories that coincide with the current LDT1-LDT4 categories. The standards for LDT2, LDT3,and LDT4 are shown in tables 4-32 through 4-34.bThe test procedure for measuring exhaust emissions has changed several times over the course <strong>of</strong> vehicle emissions regulation. The 7-modeprocedure was used through model year 1971 and was replaced by the CVS-72 procedure beginning in model year 1972. The CVS-75 procedurebecame the test procedure as <strong>of</strong> model year 1975. While it may appear that total HC and CO standards were relaxed in 1972-74, these standardswere actually more stringent due to the more stringent nature <strong>of</strong> the CVS-72 test procedure. Additional standards for CO and composite standards forNMHC and NOx tested over the new Supplemental Federal Test Procedure will be phased-in beginning with model year 2000. These standards arenot shown in this table.cEmissions standards had to be met for a useful life <strong>of</strong> 5 years/50,000 miles through model year 1983, and a full useful life <strong>of</strong> 11 years/120,000 mileswas defined for 1985-93 (several useful life options were available for 1984). Beginning in model year 1994, emissions standards were establishedfor an intermediate useful life <strong>of</strong> 5 years/50,000 miles as well as a full useful life (full useful life standards are shown in parentheses). HC standards,however, were established only for full useful life. Tier 1 exhaust standards, except particulates standards, were phased in during 1994-96 at a rate <strong>of</strong>40%, 80%, and 100%, respectively. Particulate matter standards were phased-in at a rate <strong>of</strong> 40%, 80%, and 100% during 1995-97.dThe cold CO emissions standard is measured at 20 0 F (rather than 75 0 F) and is applicable for a 5-year/50,000-mile useful life.eGVWR is the maximum design loaded weight. LVW is the curb weight (nominal vehicle weight) plus 300 pounds.f Manufacturers can opt to certify vehicles for a full useful life <strong>of</strong> 15 years/150,000 miles and either have (1) intermediate useful life standards waivedor (2) receive additional NOx credits.gThe "Prior to controls" column reports emissions estimates <strong>of</strong> a typical newly manufactured car in the years before exhaust emissions certificationstandard were implemented.h No estimate available.IIn 1968-69, exhaust emissions standards were issued in parts per million rather than grams per mile and are, therefore, incompatible with this table.j No standard has been set.kThe term "tier" refers to a level <strong>of</strong> standards for specific years. Interim Tier 2 refers to an intermediate level <strong>of</strong> standards that move manufacturerstoward compliance with Tier 2 standards. Interim Tier 2 and Tier 2 standards are established as "bins." Each bin is a set <strong>of</strong> standards for NOx, CO,NMOG, formaldehyde, and particulates (HC and NMHC standards are dropped for Tier 2 and Interim Tier 2). Manufacturers may certify any givenvehicle family to any <strong>of</strong> the bins available for that vehicle class as long as the resulting sales-weighted corporate average NOx standard is met for thefull useful life. The Tier 2 corporate average NOx standard is 0.07 grams/mile. Interim corporate-based average NOx standards are based on vehicletype. The interim corporate sales-weighted average for LDT1 vehicles is 0.3 grams/mile. Tier 2 standards will be phased in at a rate <strong>of</strong> 25% in 2004,50% in 2005, 75% in 2006, and 100% in 2007. During this period, all LDT1 vehicles not meeting the Tier 2 standards must meet Interim Tier 2standards.SOURCES40 CFR 86, Subpart A (July 1, 2000).Federal Register, Vol. 65, No. 28, pp. 6851-6858.table_04_31.xls
