Applicable Emissions System Based on Build Date and EPA Regulations
Build Date Regulation: Emissions Components
January 1, 2007–December 31,
2009
EPA07 (reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions to 1.1 g/bhp-hr, and reduce
particulate matter emissions to 0.01 g/bhp-hr): Aftertreatment device (ATD) containing
a diesel particulate filter that traps soot and ash.
*
January 1, 2010–December 31,
2012
EPA10 (reduce NOx emissions to 0.2 g/bhp-hr): EPA07-type ATD, with additional
selective catalyst reduction (SCR) technology that utilizes diesel exhaust fluid (DEF)
to convert NOx to nitrogen and water vapor.
From March 5, 2012
GHG14: Aerodynamic and fuel efficiency components including, but not limited to,
tires, cab/sleeper side extenders, chassis fairings, bumper, hood, vehicle speed
limiters, and idle reduction timers specifically designed to meet regulatory fuel
efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions standards.
*
Cummins, Detroit, and Mercedes-Benz ATD’s are also equipped with a diesel oxidation catalyst to break down pollutants.

EPA Noise Emission Control Label
A vehicle noise emission control label (Fig. 1.9)is
located on the driver-side B-pillar as shown in
Fig. 1.4. It is the owner’s responsibility to maintain
the vehicle so that it conforms to EPA regulations.
IMPORTANT: Certain Freightliner incomplete
vehicles may be produced with incomplete noise
control hardware. Such vehicles will not have a
vehicle noise emission control information label.
For such vehicles, it is the final-stage manufac-
turer’s responsibility to complete the vehicle in
conformity to U.S. EPA regulations (40 CFR Part
205) and label it for compliance.
