2. Compliance is determined using the Greenhouse gas Emission Model (GEM) developed by the EPA.
3. The regulation does not require chassis testing due to the variety of vehicle configurations.
Vehicle Characteristics and Emissions Standards
To evaluate real-world vehicle performance, various characteristics such as aerodynamic features, weight, tire rolling resistance, and idle-reducing technology are measured. These inputs are crucial for modeling and improving truck efficiency.

US Federal Standards
N2O and CH4 Emissions: Standards for nitrous oxide and methane emissions are set at 0.10 g/bhp-hr for engines and 0.05 g/mi for chassis testing, effective from MY 2015.
A/C Leakage: Standards ensure low-leakage components in air conditioning systems for heavy-duty vehicles.
Useful Life: CO2 emissions standards must be met over the vehicle's useful life, defined similarly to criteria pollutant standards.

Fuel Consumption and CO2 Emissions
Implementation dates for new and in-production vehicles are set for July 2014 and July 2015, respectively. The C-WVTC cycle is used for testing fuel consumption.

Fuel Specifications
Diesel Fuel: Parameters include cetane number, density, distillation points, flash point, and sulfur content. Specific limits are set for each parameter to ensure fuel quality.
EU Reference Test Fuels: Specifications for ethanol and diesel fuels are outlined, including alcohol content, density, and sulfur limits.

Emissions Standards for Non-Road Mobile Machinery (NRMM)
EU Stages I-IV: Emissions limits for CO, HC, NOx, and PM are specified for different engine power categories. Implementation dates vary by engine type and application.

Automotive Fuel Quality Regulations
US and Japan reference test fuels are detailed, including limits for sulfur, benzene, and other components to ensure compliance with emissions standards.

Technological Solutions
Delphi's Diesel Common Rail Systems offer advanced technology for efficient combustion and emissions compliance, suitable for small engines and emerging markets.
Emission Deterioration Factors (DF) and Emission Durability Period (EDP):
- Additive DFs are used for pollutants in C.I. engines without aftertreatment devices, while multiplicative DFs apply to those with such devices. DFs are determined by manufacturers through specific test procedures lasting at least 1/4 of the EDP.
- EDP varies by engine power and type, ranging from 3,000 to 8,000 hours.
Emission Standards by Stage and Category:
- Detailed timelines and power categories are provided for Stages I to IV, with specific dates for compliance.
- Stage V introduces new limits for smaller (<19 kW) and larger (>560 kW) engines, with a focus on particulate mass and number limits.
Opacity and Exhaust Gas Testing:
- Two tests are required: steady speed and free acceleration, with specific measurement criteria and limits.
Amendments and Implementation Delays:
- Various amendments delay the implementation of certain stages for specific tractor categories.
- Stage V legislation will be implemented through Delegated and Implemented Acts, affecting all EU member states immediately.
US Federal (EPA) Standards:
- Covers off-road C.I. engines with standards expressed in g/bhp.h.
- Tier 1 to Tier 4 standards are outlined, with specific emission limits and testing procedures.
- Includes provisions for averaging, banking, and trading of emission credits.
Emissions Standards Overview
The document outlines various emissions standards for engines, focusing on smoke emissions, particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxides (NOx), non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC), and carbon monoxide (CO). These standards are applicable over the entire useful life of the engine, with specific opacity limits for different modes of operation: acceleration (20%), lugging (15%), and peak (50%).

Engine Useful Life and Warranty
The useful life and warranty periods are defined in terms of hours and years, whichever comes first. For example, constant speed engines with a rated speed of 3,000 rpm or higher have a useful life of 5 years or 3,000 hours and a warranty period of 2 years or 1,500 hours.

Tier Standards
The document details Tier 3 and Tier 4 emissions standards, with specific requirements for different engine power categories. Tier 4 standards apply after all transition provisions expire post-2014. Interim Tier 4 standards maintain the useful life from Tier 3, while Final Tier 4 standards specify emissions limits for engines up to 560 kW.

Phase-Out and Compliance
Manufacturers have options to comply with either Tier 3 or Tier 4 standards, with phase-out standards allowing only 50% of production to meet these standards during the phase-out period. Full compliance with PM/CO standards is required from 2011, with NOx/HC compliance phased in over several years.

Non-Road Spark-Ignition Engines
Emissions standards for non-road spark-ignition engines are outlined, including evaporative emissions standards and permeation requirements for fuel lines and tanks. These standards apply to both handheld and non-handheld equipment, with specific useful life and warranty periods.

California (CARB) Regulations
California's regulations align with US-EPA standards but include additional provisions for in-use engines and fleet average standards for NOx and PM. Large fleets must meet declining PM and NOx standards starting in 2010, with medium and small fleets following in subsequent years.

Test Procedures and Certification
The document specifies test procedures for emissions certification, including steady-state and transient test cycles. Certification fuels have transitioned to lower sulfur content, and manufacturers are required to perform in-use testing to ensure compliance.
Emission Standards Overview:
Various countries have implemented emission standards for non-road diesel engines. Russia proposed EU Stage III standards for new vehicles starting January 2014. Singapore requires newly imported non-road diesel engines to meet EU Stage II, US Tier II, or Japan Tier I standards since July 2012. Switzerland mandates new engines for off-road vehicles to meet current EU standards and requires diesel engines on large construction sites to have Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF). Turkey has specific power range requirements effective from January and October 2014.
Test Cycles:
The document outlines several test cycles for emissions testing, including the Non-Road Steady-State Cycle (NRSC) and the Non-Road Transient Cycle (NRTC). The NRSC involves measuring raw exhaust emissions with a warm engine across various speed and load modes. The NRTC, developed by the US EPA and EU authorities, is used for US EPA Tier 4 and EU Stage III and IV regulations, involving cold and hot start cycles.
Glossary:
The document provides a comprehensive glossary of terms related to emissions standards, including abbreviations like CI (Compression Ignition Engine), PM (Particulate Matter), and SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction).
