(g) Worst Case Emissions. All emissions
testing must be performed on a worst case vehicle. As an alternative to
performing testing on a worst case vehicle, a engine manufacturer may submit
for Executive Officer approval carry over emission test data from a previously
certified vehicle, meeting applicable California new light duty exhaust
emission standards in section
1961, title 13, CCR, and
California new light duty evaporative emission standards in section
1976, title 13, CCR having a
similar certified engine configuration to the certified engine package. The
Executive Officer shall approve such a request if the engine manufacturer
demonstrates one of the following:
(1) In the
case of durability data, the engine manufacturer must demonstrate successfully
that the previously generated durability data represent a worst case or
equivalent rate of deterioration for all applicable emission constituents
compared to the configuration selected for durability demonstration.
(2) In the case of emission data, the engine
manufacturer must demonstrate successfully that the previously generated
emissions data represent a worst case or equivalent level of emissions for all
applicable emission constituents compared to the configuration selected for
emission compliance demonstration.
(h) Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Greenhouse gas
exhaust emission requirements, credits/debits calculation and test procedures
set forth in section
1961.3, title 13, CCR, do not
apply to a SPMV which has been certified as required by this article.
(i) On-Board Diagnostic System. Except as
allowed in (i)(1)-(4) below, the certified engine package must comply with
section 1968.2, title 13, CCR for on-board
diagnostic (OBD) requirements applicable to the model year of the engine. For
the specific sections identified below, in lieu of complying with all
applicable OBD requirements per section
1968.2, title 13, CCR, tk at he
following alternate criteria can be used:
(1)
1968.2(e)(4.22)(A) and (D)--Evaporative system purge monitoring: 2019 through
2022 model year vehicles are exempt from the monitoring requirements of section
1968.2(e)
(4.22)(A) and (D), title 13, CCR.
(2) 1968.2(e)(4.22)(B) and (C)--Evaporative
system leak monitoring:
(A) The complete
evaporative system contains an evaporative system leak monitor capable of
detecting a leak or leaks that cumulatively are greater than or equal to a leak
caused by a missing fuel cap.
(B)
In lieu of including an evaporative system leak monitor, the manufacturer may
install a capless fuel storage system on the vehicle.
(3) 1968.2(j)(2.3)--Production vehicle
evaluation testing evaluation requirements: As an alternative to performing
testing on each individual diagnostic, a engine manufacturer may submit for
Executive Officer approval, a request to carry over test data for all unchanged
diagnostics from a previously certified vehicle, meeting applicable California
OBD requirements in section
1968.2, title 13, CCR, using a
certified engine configuration or an engine configuration that is
representative of the certified engine configuration. Executive Officer
approval shall be granted upon determining the proposed previously certified
vehicle uses the same OBD II strategies and similar calibrations and is
expected to have identical test results. Engine manufacturers using this
alternative are still required to perform testing on each individual diagnostic
that is new, changed, or materially recalibrated for the certified engine
package relative to the previously certified vehicle.
(4) 1968.2(j)(3)--Production vehicle
evaluation testing for in-use monitoring performance ratio: As an alternative
to collecting and submitting data required in 1968.2(j)(3) on vehicles using
the certified engine package, a engine manufacturer may submit for Executive
Officer approval, a request to use data generated from previously certified
vehicles, meeting applicable California OBD requirements in section
1968.2, title 13, CCR, using a
certified engine configuration or an engine configuration that is
representative of the certified engine configuration. Executive Officer
approval shall be granted upon determining the proposed vehicles use the same
OBD II strategies and similar calibrations and are expected to have similar
in-use monitoring performance.
(j) Zero Emission Exhaust Standards for
SPMVs. New 2019 and subsequent model year SPMVs can certify to ZEV standards
set forth in section
1962.2, title 13, CCR. No credits
may be earned under section
1962.2 for zero emission SPMVs.
(1) The test procedures for determining
compliance with the ZEV emission standards in section
2209.10(b), are
set forth in "California Exhaust Emission Standards and Test Procedures for
2018 and Subsequent Model Zero-Emission Vehicles and Hybrid Electric Vehicles,
in the Passenger Car, Light-Duty Truck and Medium-Duty Vehicle Classes", last
amended September 3, 2015, incorporated by reference
herein.
(k) Engine
Manufacturer Reporting Requirements. For each certified engine package
manufactured for sale in California, the engine manufacturer must provide the
following information to the Executive Officer by June 30 of the year following
the model year of the certified engine package (for example, for a MY 2019
certified engine package, the engine manufacturer would be required to report
