Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Fuel Consumption Standards
Model year 2007 and later vehicles and/or engines domiciled in the U.S. or Canada are designed to meet Emission and Fuel Efficiency Standards of the U.S. (Federal) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Emission Regulations under the Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Act in Canada, and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) effective as per the applicable emission model year. See Table. and Table. for EPA regulations. To determine an engine’s or vehicle’s emission model year, refer to the respective EPA/CARB certification label.
