would bring the engine/vehicle out of compliance with
certification requirements [Ref: 42 U.S.C. S7522(a)
(3)]. It is the owner’s responsibility to maintain the
vehicle so that it conforms to EPA regulations.
Vehicle Emission Control Information
Label
Model year 2013 and later vehicles meet additional
requirements as specified by federal greenhouse gas
and fuel efficiency regulations (GHG14). Model year
2017 and later vehicles meet similar requirements as
specified by GHG17 requirements. These vehicles
are equipped with components that increase fuel effi-
ciency and reduce GHG emissions. Components
may include, but are not limited to, low-rolling resis-
tance tires.
A Vehicle Emission Control Information Label indi-
cates compliance with GHG14 regulations. See
Fig. 1.5. It is the owner’s responsibility to maintain
the vehicle so that it conforms to EPA and NHTSA
regulations.
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–December
31, 2015
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.
From January 1, 2016
GHG17: GHG14 components plus OBD16 instrumentation and sensor upgrades, and
component technology that meets NHTSA and EPA 2017 fuel efficiency and
greenhouse gas emission standards (GHG17) requirements.
*
Cummins, Detroit, and Mercedes-Benz ATD’s are also equipped with a diesel oxidation catalyst to break down pollutants.
