1. ZEV Emission Standard. The Executive Officer shall certify new 2009 and subsequentthrough 2017 model year pa ssenger cars, light-duty trucks and medium-duty vehicles as ZEVs if the vehi cles produce zero exhaust emissions of any criteria pollutant (or precursor pollutant ) under any and all possible operational modes

and conditions.

2. Percentage ZEV Requirements

2.1 General Percentage ZEV Requirement.

(a) Basic Requirement. The minimum percentage ZEV requirement for each

manufacturer is listed in the table below as the percentage of the PCs and LDT1s, and LDT2s to the extent required by sect ionsubdivision C.2.2(c), produced by the

manufacturer and delivered for sale in Califor nia that must be ZEVs, subject to the

conditions in sectionsubdivision C.2.2. The ZEV requirement will be based on the annual NMOG production report for the appropriate model year.

Model Years Minimum ZEV Requirement
2009 through 2011 11 % 2012 through 2014 12 % 2015 through 2017 14 % 2018 and subsequent 16 %

(b) Calculating the Number of Vehicles to Which the Percentage ZEV Requirement is Applied. For purposes of calculating a manufacturer’s requirement in subdivision C.2.1 for model years 2009 thr ough 2017, a manufacturer may use a three year average method or same model year me thod, as described below in sections 1. and 2. A manufacturer may switch methods on an annual basis. This production averaging is used to determine ZEV requirement s specified in subdivision C.2.1(a) only,

and has no effect on a manufacturer’s size det ermination, specified in section 1900. For example, in applying the ZEV requiremen t, a PC, LDT1, or LDT2, that is produced by one manufacturer (e.g., Manufacturer A), but is marketed in California by another manufacturer (e.g., Manufacturer B) under t he other manufacturer’s (Manufacturer B) nameplate, shall be treated as having been pr oduced by the marketing manufacturer (Manufacturer B).

(1) For the 2009 through 2011 model year s, a manufacturer’s production volume of PCs and LDT1s, and LDT2s as applicable, produced and delivered for sale in California will be based on the three-year aver age of the manufacturer’s volume of PCs and LDT1s, and LDT2s as applicable, produced and delivered for sale in California in the 2003 through 2005 model years. As an alte rnative to the three-year averaging of prior year production described above, a manufacturer may elect to base its ZEV obligation on the number of PCs and LDT1s, and LDT2s, as applicable, produced byB-2-C-2

As Amended: March 22, 2012 Date of Hearing: January 26-27, 2012 the manufacturer and delivered for sale in California that same model year.

(2) For 2012 and subsequentthrough 2017 model years, a manufacturer’s production volume for the given model year will be based on the three-year average of

the manufacturer’s volume of PCs and LDT1 s, and LDT2s, as applicable, produced and delivered for sale in California in the prior f ourth, fifth and sixth model year (for example, 2013 model year ZEV requirements will be bas ed on California production volume of PCs and LDT1s, and LDT2s as applicable, for the 2007 to 2009 model years, and 2014 model year ZEV requirements will be based on California production volume of PCs and LDTs, for the 2008 to 2010 model years). This production averaging is used to determine ZEV requirements only, and has no effect on a manufacturer’s size

determination. As an alternative to the th ree-year averaging of prior year production described above, a manufacturer may elect to base its ZEV obligation on the number of PCs and LDT1s, and LDT2s, as applicable, produced by the manufacturer and

delivered for sale in California that sa me model year. For 2012 and subsequent model years, a manufacturer may, on an annual basis, se lect either the three-year average or the same model-year calculation method. In applying the ZEV requirement, a PC, LDT1, or LDT2 as applicable, that is produced by one manufacturer (e.g., Manufacturer A), but is marketed in California by another manufacturer (e.g., Manufacturer B) under the other manufacturer’s (Manufacturer B) nameplate, shall be treated as having been produced by the marketing manufacturer (Manufacturer B).

(c) Phase-in of ZEV Requirements for LDT2s. Beginning with the ZEV requirements for the 2009 model year, a m anufacturer’s LDT2 production shall be included in determining the manufacture r’s overall ZEV requirement under sectionsubdivision C.2.1(a) in the increasi ng percentages shown in the table below.

2009 2010 2011 2012+

51% 68% 85% 100%

(d) Exclusion of ZEVs in Determining a Manufacturer’s Sales Volume. In calculating for purposes of sectionsubdivisi on C.2.1(b) and (c) the volume of PCs, LDT1s and LDT2s that a manufacturer has produced and delivered for sale in California, the manufacturer shall excl ude the number of ZEVs produced by the manufacturer, or by a subsidiary in which that the manufacturer has a greater than 50 percent ownership interest, and delivered for sale in California.

2.2 Requirements for Large Volume Manufacturers.

(a) Primary Requirements for Large Volume Manufacturers through Model

Year 2011 . In the 2009 through 2011 model years, a manufacturer must meet at least 22.5 percent of its ZEV requi rement with ZEVs or ZEV credits generated by such vehicles, and at least another 22.5 percent with ZEVs, AT PZEVs, or credits generated by such vehicles. The remainder of t he manufacturer’s ZEV requirement may be met using PZEVs or credits generated by such vehicles.B-2-C-3

As Amended: March 22, 2012 Date of Hearing: January 26-27, 2012 (b) Alternative Requirements for Large Volume Manufacturers.

(1) Minimum Floor for Production of Type III ZEVs.

(A) [Reserved]

(B) Requirement For the 2009-2011 Model Years. A manufacturer electing the alternative compliance requirement s during model years 2009 through 2011 must produce ZEV credits equal to 0.82 percent of the manufacturer’s average annual California sales of PCs and LDT1s, and LDT2 s, as applicable, over the three year period from model years 2003 through 2005, thoughthrough production, delivery for sale, and placement in service of ZEVs, ot her than NEVs and Type 0 ZEVs, using credit ratios for each ZEV Type compared to a Type III prescribed in the table below, or submit an equivalent number of credi ts generated by such vehicles.

ZEV Types Credit Substitution Ratio Type I 2 Type I.5 1.6 Type II 1.33 Type IV 0.8 Type V 0.57

(i) Manufacturers may use credits generated by 1997-2003 model-year ZEVs that qualify for an extended service multiplie r under sectionsubdivision C.6 for a year primarily during calendar year s 2009-2011, provided that 33 years of such a multiplier will equal 4 ZEV credits.

(C) [Reserved]

(D) [Reserved]

(E) [Reserved]

(F) Exclusion of Additional Credi ts for Transportation Systems. Any additional credits for transportation systems generated in accordance with sectionsubdivision

C.7.5 shall not be counted towards co mpliance with this sectionsubdivision C.2.2(b)(1)(B).

(G) Carry-over of Excess Credits. ZEV credits generated from excess production in model years 2005 through 2008 may be carried forward and applied to the 2009 through 2011 minimum floor requirement specified in sectionsubdivision C.2.2(b)(1)(B) provided that the value of t hese carryover credits shall be based on the model year in which the credits are used

. Beginning with the 2012 model year, these credits may no longer be used to meet the Z EV requirement, specified in subdivisionB-2-C-4

As Amended: March 22, 2012 Date of Hearing: January 26-27, 2012 C.2.2(b)(1)(B); they may be used as Enhanced AT PZEV, AT PZEV, or PZEV credits. ZEV credits earned in model year 2009 and subsequent through 2011 would be allowed to be carried forward for two years for applicat ion to the ZEV requirement. For example, ZEV credit earned in the 2010 model year woul d retain full flexibility through the 2012 model year. Starting 2013 model year, at which time that credit could only be used as Enhanced AT PZEVTZEV, AT PZEV, or PZEV credits, and could not be used to satisfy the ZEV credit obligation, which may only be satisfied with credit generated from ZEVs.

.

(H) Failure to Meet Requirement for Production of ZEVs. A manufacturer that, after electing the alternative requirements in sectionsubdivision C.2.2(b) for any model year from 2009 through 2011, fails to meet the requirement in sectionsubdivision C.2.2(b)(1)(B) by the end of the 2011 model y ear, shall be treated as subject to the primary requirements in sectionsubdivisi on C.2.1(a) for the 2009 through 2011 model

years.

sale in California.

2.5 [Reserved] Counting ZEVs and PZEVs in Fleet Average NMOG

Calculations . For purposes of calculating a manufacturer’s fleet average NMOG value and NMOG credits under sections 1961(b) and (c), title 13, CCR, a vehicle certified as a ZEV is counted as one ZEV, and a PZEV is counted as one SULEV certified to the 150,000 mile standards, regardless of any ZEV or PZEV multipliers.

2.6 [Reserved]

2.7 Changes in Small Volume, Independent Low Volume, and

Intermediate Volume Manufacturer Status.

(a) Increases in California Production Volume. In 2009 and subsequent through 2017 model years, if a small volume m anufacturer’s average California production volume exceeds 4,500 units of new PCs, LDTs, and MDVs based on the average number of vehicles produced and delivered for sa le for the three previous consecutive model years, or if an independent low vo lume manufacturer’s average California production volume exceeds 10,000 units of new PCs, LDTs, and MDVs based on the average number of vehicles produced and deliv ered for sale for the three previous consecutive model years, the manufactu rer shall no longer be treated as a small volume, or independent low volume manufacturer, as applicable, and shall comply with the ZEV requirements for intermediate volu me manufacturers, as applicable, beginning with the sixth model year after the last of the three consecutive model years.B-2-C-7

As Amended: March 22, 2012 Date of Hearing: January 26-27, 2012 If an intermediate volume manufacturer’ s average California production volume exceeds 60,000 units of new PCs, LDTs, and MDVs based on the average number of vehicles produced and delivered for sale for t he three previous consecutive model years (i.e., total production volume exceeds 180,000 vehicles in a three year period), the manufacturer shall no longer be treated as an intermediate volume manufacturer and shall, beginning with the sixth model year afte r the last of the three consecutive model years, or in model year 2018 (whichever occu rs first), comply with all ZEV requirements for large volume manufacturers

Requirements will begin in the sixth m odel year, or in model year 2018 (whichever occurs first) when a manufactu rer ceases to be an intermediate volume manufacturer in 2003 or subsequent years due to the aggregation requirements in majority ownership situation.

(b) Decreases in California Production Volume. If a manufacturer’s average California production volume falls below 4,500, 10,000 or 60,000 units of new PCs, LDTs, and MDVs, as applicable, based on t he average number of vehicles produced and delivered for sale for the three previous consecutive model years, the manufacturer shall be treated as a small volume, independent low volume, or intermediate volume manufacturer, as applicable, and shall be s ubject to the requirements for a small volume, independent low volume, or intermediate volume manufacturer beginning with the next model year.

(c) Calculating California Production Volume in Change of Ownership Situations. Where a manufacturer experiences a change in ownership in a particular model year, the change will affect application of the aggr egation requirements on the manufacturer starting with the next model year. When a manufacturer is simultaneously producing two model years of vehicles at the time of a change of ownership, the basis of determining next model year must be the earlie r model year. The manufacturer’s small

or intermediate volume manufacturer status for the next model year shall be based on the average California production volume in t he three previous consecutive model years of those manufacturers whose production vo lumes must be aggregated for that next model year. For example, where a change of ownership during the 2010 calendar year occurs and the manufacturer is producing both 2010 and 2011 model year vehicles results in a requirement that the producti on volume of Manufacturer A be aggregated with the production volume of Manufacturer B, Manufacturer A’s status for the 2011 model year will be based on the production volu mes of Manufacturers A and B in the 2008-2010 model years. Where the producti on volume of Manufacturer A must be aggregated with the production volumes of M anufacturers B and C for the 2010 model year, and during that model year a change in ow nership eliminates t he requirement that Manufacturer B’s production volume be aggregated with Manufacturer A’s,

Manufacturer A’s status for the 2011 m odel year will be based on the production

volumes of Manufacturers A and C in the 2008- 2010 model years. In either case, the lead time provisions in sectionsubdivisions C2.7(a) and (b) will apply.B-2-C-8

As Amended: March 22, 2012 Date of Hearing: January 26-27, 2012 3. Partial ZEV Allowance Vehicles (PZEVs).

Type I.5x and Type IIx vehicles are defined in subdivision C.4.5(g) and

C.9.10.

(b) Fast Refueling . The “fast refueling capability” requirement for a 2009 and subsequentthrough 2017 model year Type III, IV, or V ZEV in sectionsubdivision C.4.4.(a) will be considered met if the Type III ZEV has the capability to accumulate at least 95 miles of UDDS range in 10 minutes or less and the Type IV or V ZEV has the capability to accumulate at least 190 or 285 miles, respectively, in 15 minutes or less. For ZEVs that utilize more than one ZEV fuel, such as plug-in fuel cell vehicles, the Executive Officer may choose to waive these sectionsubdivision C.4.4.(b) fast fueling requirements and base the amount of credi t earned on UDDS ZEV range, as specified in sectionsubdivision C.4.4.(a).

(c) ZEV Credits for 2009 and Subsequent through 2017 Model-Year ZEVs. A 2009 and subsequentthrough 2017 model-year ZEV, other than a NEV or Type 0, earns 1 ZEV credit when it is produced and deliver ed for sale in California. A 2009 and subsequentthrough 2017 model-year ZEV earns additional credits based on the earliest year in which the ZEV is placed in service (not earlier than the ZEV’s model year). The vehicle must be delivered for sale and placed in service in a Section 177 state or in

California in order to earn the total credi t amount. The total credit amount will be earned in the state (i.e. California or a Section 177 st ate) in which the vehicle was delivered forB-2-C-14

New Section 177 State Optional Compliance Path TZEV Percentage 2.25% 2.40% 2.55%

Manufacturers may meet the reduced TZEV percentages above with credits from ZEVs

or credits from TZEVs. These reduced TZ EV percentages also reduce the total ZEV percent requirement, as illustrat ed in subdivision C.4.5(e)(3)(C).

1. Trading and Transferring TZEV Credits within the West Region Pool and East Region Pool

. Manufacturers may trade or transfer specified TZEV credits to meet the same model year subdivision C.4.5(e)(3)(C) percent ages within the West Region pool, and will incur no premium on their credit values. For example, for a manufacturer to make up a 2016 shortfall of 100 credits in State X, the manufacturer may transfer 100 (2016 model year) TZEV credits from State Y, within the West Region pool. Manufacturers may trade or transfer TZEV credits to meet the same model year subdivision C.4.5( e)(3)(C) within the East Region pool, and will incur no premium on their credit values. For example, for a manufacturer to make up a 2016 model year shortfall of 100 credits in State W, the manufacturer may transfer 100 (2016 model year) TZEV credits from State Z, wit hin the East Region pool.

2. Trading and Transferring TZEV Credit between the West Region Pool and East Region Pool. Manufacturers may trade or transfer specified TZEV credits used to meet the same model year percentages in subdivision C.4.5(e)(3)(C) between the WestB-2-C-18

As Amended: March 22, 2012 Date of Hearing: January 26-27, 2012 Region pool and the East Region pool; however, any credits transferred will incur a premium of 30% of their value. For example, in order for a manufacturer to make up a 2016 model year

shortfall of 100 credits in the West Region Pool, the manufacturer may transfer 130 (2016 model year) TZEV credits from the East Region Pool. No credits may be traded or transferred to the East Region pool or West Region pool fr om a manufacturer’s California ZEV bank, or from the East Region pool or West Region pool to a

manufacturer’s California ZEV bank.

(C) Total Requirement Percentages. Requirements for the minimum ZEV floor, and allowed percentages for AT PZEVs and PZEVs in subdivision C.2 remain in effect for large and intermediate volume m anufacturers choosing the optional section 177 state compliance path in each section 177 st ate. However, the optional section 177 compliance path requires manufacturers to meet additional ZEV requirements and

allows manufacturers to meet reduc ed TZEV percentages as described above in subdivision C.4.5(e)(3)(A) and (B). The table below enumerates the total annual percentage obligation in each section 177 st ate for the 2015 through 2017 model years if the manufacturer elects the optional section 177 state compliance path and produces the minimum number of credits required to meet its minimum ZEV floor and the maximum percentage allowed to be met with credits from TZEVs, AT PZEVs and

debits shall be rounded to the nearest 1/1000 th only on the final credit and debit totals using the conventional rounding method. For model year 2015 through 2017, ZEV

credits and debits shall be rounded to the nearest 1/100 th only on the final credit and debit totals using the conventional rounding method.

(e) Converting g/mi NMOG ZEV Credit to ZEV Credits

. After model year 2014 compliance, all manufacturer ZEV, Type I.5x and Type IIx, TZEV, AT PZEV, PZEV, and NEV accounts will be converted from g/mi NMOG to credits. Each g/mi NMOG account balance will be divided by 0.035. Starting in model year 2015, credits will no longer be expressed in terms of g/mi credits, but only as credits.

(f) Converting PZEV and AT PZEV Credits after Model Year 2017. After model year 2017 compliance, a manufactu rer’s PZEV and AT PZEV credit accounts will be converted to be used for compliance with r equirements specified in subdivision C.2. For LVMs, PZEV accounts will be discounted 93.25%, and AT PZEV accounts will be discounted 75%. For IVMs, PZEV accounts and AT PZEV accounts will be discountedB-2-C-23

This limitation applies to credits earned by the same manufacturer or earned by another manufacturer and acquired.

(b) Carry forward provisions for Large Volume Manufacturers for 2009-2011

Model Years. ZEV cCredits from ZEVs, excluding credits generated from NEVs generated from excess production in model years 2009 through 2011 model yearsand subsequent, including those acquired from another party, may be carried forward and applied to the ZEV minimum floor require ment specified in sectionsubdivisions C.2.2(b)(1)(B) and (d) for two subsequent m odel years. Beginning with the third subsequent model year, those earned ZEV credi ts may no longer be used to satisfy the manufacturer’s percentage ZEV obligation that may only be satisfied by credits from ZEVs, but may be used to satisfy the manuf acturer’s percentage ZEV obligation that may be satisfied by credits from Enhanced AT PZEVsTZEVs, AT PZEVs, or PZEVs. For example, ZEV credit earned in 2010 would retain full flexibility through 2012, after which time that credit could only be used as Enhanced AT PZEVsTZEVs, AT PZEV, or

PZEV credits.

(c) Carry forward provisions for manufacturers other than Large Volume

Manufacturers for 2009-2011 Model Years. ZEV cCredits generated from ZEVs, excluding credits generated from NEVs , from 2009 through 2011and subsequent model year production by manufacturers that ar e not large volume manufacturers may be carried forward by the manufacturer produci ng the ZEV credit until the manufacturer becomes subject to the large volume manuf acturer requirements, after the transition period permitted in sectionsubdivision C.2.7( a).

the commensurate amount of cr edits generated by ZEVs for model year 2015 through 2017. The amount of g/mi ZEV credits requir ed to be submitted shall be calculated by [i] adding the number of credits from ZEVs produced and delivered for sale in California by the manufacturer for the model year to the number of ZEV allowances from partial ZEV allowance vehicles produced and delivered for sale in California by the manufacturer for the model year (for a lar ge volume manufacturer, not to exceed that permitted under sectionsubdivision C.2.1), [ii] s ubtracting that total from the number of ZEVs credits required to be produced and de livered for sale in California by the manufacturer for the model year, and, fo r model year 2009 through 2014 compliance, [iii] multiplying the resulting value by t he fleet average requirements for PCs and LDT1s for the model year in which the deficit is in curred. Credits earned by delivery for sale of Type I.5x and Type IIx vehicles, TZEV, NEV, AT PZEV, and PZEV are not allowed to be used to fulfill a manufacturer’s ZEV deficit; only credits from ZEVs may be used to fulfill

a manufacturer’s ZEV deficit.

6.2.1 Amend subparagraph (a).

Overview . The dynamometer run shall consist of two tests, a “cold” start test, after a second fuel drain and fill and a 12 to 36 hour soak period performed pursuant to the provisions of the “California Evaporative Emission Standards and Test Procedures for 2001 and Subsequent Model

Motor Vehicles” and a “hot” start test following the “cold” start test by 10 minutes. Vehicle startup (with all a ccessories turned off), operation over the UDDS and vehicle shutdown make a complete cold start test. Vehicle startup and operation over the UDDS and vehicle shutdown make a complete hot start test.

For all UDDS tests, the exhaust em issions are diluted with ambient air in the dilution tunnel as shown in Figure B94-5 and Figure B94-6B-2-F-7

As Amended: March 22, 2012 Date of Hearing: January 26-27, 2012 (§86.110-94). As an alternative, the bag mini-diluter may be used in-lieu of the constant volume sampling (CVS) method for exhaust emission measurement as described below. A dilution tunnel is not required for testing vehicles waived from the requi rement to measure particulates. Four particulate samples are collected on filters for weighing; the first sample plus backup is collected during the cold start test (including shutdown); the second sample plus backup is collected during the hot start test (including shutdown). Part 1065 of the CFR may be used as an optional particulate sampling method. Continuous proportional samples of gaseous emissions are collected for analysis during each test. For hybrid electric vehicles with Otto-cycle auxiliary power units, the composite samples collected in bags are analyzed for THC, CO, CO 2 , CH 4 and NO
x . For hybrid electric vehicles that are not “off-vehicle charge capable,” and are equipped with petroleum-fueled diesel-cycle auxiliary power units (optional for natural gas-fueled, liquefied petroleum gas-fueled, and alcohol-fueled diesel-cycle vehicles), THC is sampled and analyzed continuously pursuant to the provisi ons of §86.110-94. Parallel samples of the dilution air are similarly analyzed for THC, CO, CO 2 , CH 4 and NO
x . For hybrid electric vehicles with natural gas-fueled, liquefied petroleum gas-fueled, and alcohol-fueled auxiliary power units, bag samples are collected and analyzed for THC (if not sampled continuously), CO, CO 2 , CH 4 and NO
x . For hybrid electric vehicles with alcohol-fueled auxiliary power units, alcohol and formaldehyde samples are taken for both exhaust emissions and dilution air (a single dilution air formaldehyde sample, covering the total test period may be collected). Parallel bag samples of dilution air are analyzed for THC, CO, CO 2 , CH 4 and NO
x .

Overview . The charge depleting range te st dynamometer run shall consist of a series of charge depleting UDDSs, each followed by a 10 minute key-off hot soak period until charge sust aining operation is achieved for two consecutive UDDSs. To determine charge sustaining operation, the vehicle must

meet the SOC criterion in section FG.10 from the star t of the first UDDS until the end of the second UDDS. As an option, charge sustaining operation may be achieved for a single UDDS if data is pr ovided showing that charge sustaining operation can consistently be maintai ned over one UDDS. To determine charge sustaining operation, in this case, the vehi cle shall meet SOC criterion in section

FG.10 from the start to the end of a single UDDS. Emissions are measured for all UDDSs when the auxiliary power unit is operating.B-2-G-5

than 68  F (20  C) and not more than 86  F (30  C) for 12 to 36 hours. At the end of this cold soak period, the v ehicle shall be placed or pushed onto a dynamometer.

The charge sustaining emission test dy namometer run shall consist of two consecutive UDDSs with a 10 minute key-off hot soak in between. Vehicle

emissions shall be measured over two UDDSs during charge sustaining operation, and the vehicle must meet the SO C criterion in section FG.10 from the

start of the first UDDS until the end of the second UDDS.

Vehicle charging shall be initiated wit hin three hours after either the charge depleting range test or the charge sustai ning emission test pursuant to section FG.5.4.2 or FG.5.4.3, as applicable. Du ring charging, all requirements in section FG.3 must be met, and energy consumption shall be calculated pursuant to the requirements in section FG.11.7.

For all exhaust emission tests, the exhaust emissions are diluted with ambient air

in the dilution tunnel as shown in Fi gure B94-5 and Figure B 94-6 (§86.110-94). As an alternative, the bag mini-diluter may be used in-lieu of the constant volume sampling (CVS) method for exhaust emi ssion measurement as described below. A dilution tunnel is not required for test ing vehicles waived from the requirement to measure particulates. For UDDSs, par ticulate samples are collected on filters for weighing during each UDDS. Each sample plus backup is collected during each UDDS (including shutdown). Part 1065 of the CFR may be used as an optional particulate sampling method. Continuous proportional samples of gaseous emissions are collected for analysis during each UDDS. For vehicles with Otto-cycle auxiliary power units, the composite samples collected in bags are analyzed for THC, CO, CO 2 , CH 4 and NO
x . For vehicles with petroleum-fueled diesel-cycle auxiliary power units (optional for natural gas-fueled, liquefied petroleum gas-f ueled, and alcohol-fueled diesel-cycle vehicles), THC is sampled and analyzed c ontinuously pursuant to the provisions of §86.110-94. Parallel samples of the dilu tion air are similarly analyzed for THC, CO, CO 2 , CH 4 and NO
x . For vehicles with natural gas-fueled, liquefied petroleum gas-fueled, and alcohol-fueled auxiliary power units, bag samples are collected and analyzed for THC (if not sampled continuously), CO, CO 2 , CH 4 and NO
x . For vehicles with alcohol-fueled auxiliary power units, alcohol and formaldehyde samples are taken for both exhaust emissions and dilution air (a single dilution air formaldehyde sample, covering the total test period may be collected). Parallel bag samples of dilution air are analyzed for THC, CO, CO 2 , CH 4 and NO
x .

6.2.1 Amend subparagraph (a): Over view. The dynamometer run consists of two tests, a “cold” start test, after a minimum 12-hour and a maximum 36-hour soak pursuant to the provisions of the “California Evaporative Emission Standards and Test Procedures for 2001 and Subsequent Model Motor Vehicles”, and a “hot” start test following the “cold” start test by 10 minutes. Vehicle startup (with all accessories turned off), operation over the UDDS and vehicle shutdown make a complete cold st art test. Vehicle startup and operation over the UDDS and vehicle shutdown make a complete hot start test. The

exhaust emissions are diluted with ambient air in the dilution tunnel as shown in Figure B94-5 and Figure B94-6. A diluti on tunnel is not required for testing vehicles waived from the requirement to m easure particulates. Four particulate samples are collected on filters for weighing; the first sample plus backup is collected during the cold start test (inc luding shutdown); the second sample plus backup is collected during the hot start test (including shutdown). Continuous proportional samples of gaseous emissions are collected for analysis during each test. For hybrid electric vehicles wit h gasoline-fueled, natural gas-fueled and liquefied petroleum gas-fueled Otto-cycle auxiliary power units, the composite samples collected in bags are analyzed for THC, CO, CO 2 , CH 4 and NO
x . For hybrid electric vehicles with petroleu m-fueled diesel-cycle auxiliary power units (optional for natural gas-fueled, liquefied petroleum gas-fueled and methanol-fueled diesel-cycle vehicles), THC is sampled and analyzed continuously pursuant to the provisions of § 86.110. Parallel samples of the dilution air are similarly analyzed for THC, CO, CO 2 , CH 4 and NO
x . For hybrid electric vehicles with natural gas-f ueled, liquefied petroleum gas-fueled and methanol-fueled auxiliary power units, bag samples are collected and analyzed for THC (if not sampled continuously), CO, CO 2 , CH 4 and NO
x . For hybrid

electric vehicles with methanol-fueled auxiliary power units, methanol and formaldehyde samples are taken for both exhaust emissions and dilution air (a single dilution air formaldehyde sample, covering the total test period may be collected). Parallel bag samples of dilution air are analyzed for THC, CO, CO 2 , CH 4 and NO
