45-Day Notice 02/08/08 Proposed §1962

Hearing Date: 03/27/08
15-Day Notice: 07/25/08 1 § 1962. Zero-Emission Vehicle Standards for 2005 t hrough 2008 and Subsequent

Model Year Passenger Cars, Light-Duty Trucks, and Medium-Duty Vehicles.

(a) ZEV Emission Standard. The Executive Officer shall certify new 2005 through 2008 and Subsequent model passenger cars, light-duty trucks and medium

duty vehicles as ZEVs if the vehicles produce zero exhaust emissions of any criteria pollutant (or precursor pollutant) under any and al l possible operational modes and conditions. Incorporation of a fuel-fired heater s hall not preclude a vehicle from being certified as a ZEV provided: (1) the fuel-fired hea ter cannot be operated at ambient temperatures above 40 o F, (2) the heater is demonstrated to have zero fuel evaporative emissions under any and all possible operational mo des and conditions, and (3) the emissions of any pollutant from the fuel-fired heat er when operated at an ambient temperature between 68 o F and 86 o F do not exceed the emission standard for that pollutant for a ULEV under section 1961(a)(1).

A vehicle that would meet the emissions standards for a ZEV except that it uses a fuel-fired heater that can be operated at ambient temperatures above 40 o F, that cannot be demonstrated to have zero fuel evaporativ e emissions under any and all possible operation modes and conditions, or that ha s emissions of any pollutant exceeding the emission standard for that pollutant for a ULEV under section 1961(a)(1),

shall be certified based on the emission level of t he fuel-fired heater.

(b) Percentage ZEV Requirements.

(1) General Percentage ZEV Requirement.

(A) Basic Requirement. The minimum percentage ZEV requirement for

each manufacturer is listed in the table below as t he percentage of the PCs and LDT1s, and LDT2s to the extent required by section (b)(1)( C), produced by the manufacturer

and delivered for sale in California that must be Z EVs, subject to the conditions in this section 1962(b).

Model Years Minimum ZEV Requirement

2005 through 2008 10 percent 2009 through 2011 11 percent 2012 through 2 014 12 percent 2015 through 2017 14 percent 2018 and subsequent 16 percent

(B) Calculating the Number of Vehicles to Which the Per centage ZEV Requirement is Applied

. A manufacturer’s volume of PCs and LDT1s produced and delivered for sale in California will be averaged f or the 1997, 1998, and 1999 model years to determine the California PC and LDT1 produ ction volume for the model year 2005 ZEV requirements. For subsequent the three-year periods following model year 2005, a manufacturer’s California production volume of PCs and LDT1s, and LDT2s as applicable, will be based on a three-year average o f the manufacturer’s volume of PCs45-Day Notice 02/08/08 Proposed §1962

Hearing Date: 03/27/08

15-Day Notice: 07/25/08 2 and LDT1s, and LDT2s as applicable, produced and de livered for sale in California in the prior fourth, fifth and sixth years (e.g. 2006 to 2008 model-year ZEV requirements will be based on California production volumes of P Cs and LDT1s, and LDT2s as applicable, for 2000 to 2002 model years). This pr oduction averaging is used to determine ZEV requirements only, and has no effect on a manufacturer’s size determination. As an alternative to the three year averaging of prior year production described above, a manufacturer may during model ye ar 2005 or the first model year of a subsequent three year period elect to base its ZE V obligation on the number of PCs and LDT1s, and LDT2s to the extent required by sect ion (b)(1)(C), produced by the

manufacturer and delivered for sale in California t hat same year. If a manufacturer elects to use this method after model year 2005 it must be used for each year of the three-year period. In applying the ZEV requirement , a PC, LDT1, or LDT2 as applicable, (beginning in the 2007 model year) that is produced by a small volume manufacturer, but is marketed in California by anot her manufacturer under the other manufacturer’s nameplate, shall be treated as havin g been produced by the marketing

manufacturer.

(C) Phase-in of ZEV Requirements for LDT2s

. Beginning with the ZEV requirements for the 2007 model year, a manufac turer’s LDT2 production shall be included in determining the manufacturer’s overall ZEV requirement under section (b)(1)(A) in the increasing percentages shown the t able below.

2007 2008 2009 2010

2011 2012+

17% 34% 51% 68% 85% 100%

(D) Exclusion of ZEVs in Determining a Manufacturer’s S ales Volume. In calculating for purposes of sections 1962(b)(1)( B) and 1962(b)(1)(C) the volume of PCs, LDT1s and LDT2s a manufacturer has produced an d delivered for sale in California, the manufacturer shall exclude the numb er of ZEVs produced by the manufacturer, or by a subsidiary in which the manuf acturer has a greater than 50% ownership interest, and delivered for sale in Calif ornia.

However, a small volume manufacturer or an independent low vol ume manufacturer may earn and market credits for the ZEVs or PZEVs it produces an d delivers for sale in California.

(5) Counting ZEVs and PZEVs in Fleet Average NMOG Calcu lations

. For the purposes of calculating a manufacturer’s fleet average NMOG value and NMOG credits under sections 1960.1(g)(2) and 1961(b) and (c), a vehicle certified as a ZEV is counted as one ZEV, and a PZEV is counted as one SU LEV certified to the 150,000 mile standards regardless of any ZEV or PZEV multip liers.

(6) Implementation Prior to 2005 Model Year

. Prior to the 2005 model year, a manufacturer that voluntarily produces vehi cles meeting the ZEV emission standards applicable to 2005 and subsequent model y ear vehicles may certify the vehicles to those standards and requirements for pu rposes of calculating fleet average45-Day Notice 02/08/08 Proposed §1962

(7) Changes in Small Volume, Independent Low Volume, an d

Intermediate Volume Manufacturer Status.

(A) Increases in California Production Volume

. In the 2003 and subsequent through 2008 model years, if a small volume manufacturer’s avera ge California production volume exceeds 4,500 units of new PCs, LDTs, and MDVs based on the average number of vehicles produced and deli vered for sale for the three previous consecutive model years, or if an independ ent low volume manufacturer’s average California production volume exceeds 10,000 units of new PCs, LDTs, and MDVs based on the average number of vehicles produc ed and delivered for sale for the three previous consecutive model years, or if an in termediate volume manufacturer’s average California production volume exceeds 60,000 units of new PCs, LDTs, and MDVs based on the average number of vehicles produc ed and delivered for sale for the three previous consecutive model years (i.e., total production volume exceeds 180,000 in a three-year period) , the manufacturer shall no longer be treated as a small volume, independent low volume, or intermediate volume manu facturer, as applicable, and shall comply with the ZEV requirements for independent lo w volume, intermediate volume or large volume manufacturers, as applicable, beginnin g with the sixth model year after the last of the three consecutive model years. The lead time shall be four rather than six years Requirements will begin in the fourth model year ra ther than the sixth model

year where a manufacturer ceases to be a small or interm ediate volume manufacturer

in the 2003 or

subsequent through 2008 model years due to the aggregation requirements in majority ownership situations, exce pt that if the majority ownership in the manufacturer was acquired prior to the 2001 mod el year, the manufacturer must comply with the stepped-up ZEV requirements startin g in the 2010 model year.

(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 the av erage number of vehicles produced and delivered for sale for the three previ ous consecutive model years, the manufacturer shall be treated as a small volume, in dependent low volume, or intermediate volume manufacturer, as applicable, an d shall be subject to the requirements for a small volume, independent low vo lume, 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 owners hip in a particular model year, the change will affect app lication of the aggregation requirements on the manufacturer starting with the next model year. The

manufacturer’s small or intermediate volume manufac turer status for the next model year shall be based on the average California produ ction volume in the three previous consecutive model years of those manufacturers whos e production volumes must be aggregated for that next model year. For example, where a change of ownership45-Day Notice 02/08/08 Proposed §1962

Hearing Date: 03/27/08

15-Day Notice: 07/25/08 8 during the 2004 model year results in a requirement that the production volume of Manufacturer A be aggregated with the production vo lume of Manufacturer B, Manufacturer A’s status for the 2005 model year wil l be based on the production

volumes of Manufacturers A and B in the 2002-2004 m odel years. Where the production volume of Manufacturer A must be aggrega ted with the production volumes of Manufacturers B and C for the 2004 model year, a nd during that model year a change in ownership eliminates the requirement that Manufacturer B’s production volume be aggregated with Manufacturer A’s, Manufac turer A’s status for the 2005 model year will be based on the production volumes of Manufacturers A and C in the 2002-2004 model years. In either case, the lead ti me provisions in section 1962(b)(5 7 )(A) and (B) will apply.

(c) Partial ZEV Allowance Vehicles (PZEVs)

.

(1) Introduction. This section 1962(c) sets forth the criteria for identifying

vehicles delivered for sale in California as PZEVs. A PZEV is a vehicle that cannot be certified as a ZEV but qualifies for a PZEV allowan ce of at least 0.2.

(2) Baseline PZEV Allowance

. In order for a vehicle to be eligible to receive a PZEV allowance, the manufacturer must demonstrate compliance with all of the following requirements. A qualifying vehicle will receive a baseline PZEV allowance of

0.2.

(A) SULEV Standards. Certify the vehicle to the 150,000-mile SULEV

exhaust emission standards for PCs and LDTs in sect ion 1961(a)(1) (for model years 2003 through 2006, existing SULEV intermediate in-u se compliance standards shall apply to all PZEVs). Bi-fuel, fuel-flexible and du al-fuel vehicles must certify to the applicable 150,000-mile SULEV exhaust emission stan dards when operating on both fuels;

(B) Evaporative Emissions. Certify the vehicle to the evaporative emission standards in section 1976(b)(1)(E) (“ zero” -fuel evaporative emissions standards);

(C) OBD. Certify that the vehicle will meet the applicable on-board diagnostic requirements in sections 1968.1 or 1968.2, as applicable, for 150,000 miles;

and

(D) Extended Warranty

. Extend the performance and defects warranty period set forth in sections 2037(b)(2) an d 2038(b)(2 1 ) to 15 years or 150,000 miles, whichever occurs first, except that the time period is to be 10 years for a zero emission energy storage device used for traction po wer (such as a battery, ultracapacitor, or other electric storage device).45-Day Notice 02/08/08 Proposed §1962

15-Day Notice: 07/25/08 9 (3) Zero-Emission VMT PZEV Allowance

.

(A) Calculation of Zero Emission VMT Allowance

. A vehicle that meets the requirements of section 1962(c)(2) and ha s zero-emission vehicle miles traveled (“VMT”) capability will generate an additi onal zero emission VMT PZEV

allowance calculated as follows:

Urban All-Electric Range Zero-emission VMT Allowance

< 10 miles 0.0

10 miles to 90 miles ( 33.8 + [0.5 x Urban AER])/35

>90 miles 2.25

The urban all-electric range shall be determined in accordance with section E.3.(2)(a) 2.1 of the “California Exhaust Emission Standards and Test Procedures for 2005 and Subsequent through 2008 Model Zero-Emission Vehicles, and 2001 and Subsequent Model Hybrid Electric Vehicles, in the Passenger Car, Light-Duty Truck and Medium-Duty Vehicle Classes,” incorporate d by reference in section 1962(h).

(B) Alternative Procedures. As an alternative to determining the

zero-emission VMT allowance in accordance with the preceding section 1962(c)(3)(A), a manufacturer may submit for Executive Officer app roval an alternative procedure for determining the zero-emission VMT potential of the vehicle as a percent of total VMT, along with an engineering evaluation that adequatel y substantiates the zero-emission VMT determination. For example, an alternative pro cedure may provide that a vehicle

with zero- emissions of one regulated pollutant (e.g. NOx) and not another (e.g. NMOG) will qualify for a zero-emission VMT allowance of 1 .5.

(C) Additional Allowances for Qualifying HEVs. The Executive Officer shall approve an additional 0.1 zero-emissi on VMT partial ZEV allowance for an HEV with an all-electric range if the manufacturer demonstrates to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Executive Officer that the HEV is equipped with software and/or other strategies that would promote maximum use of off-ve hicle charging, and that the strategies employed are reasonably reliable and tam per-proof.

(4) PZEV Allowance for Advanced ZEV Componentry

. A vehicle that meets the requirements of section 1962(c)(2) may qu alify for an advanced componentry PZEV allowance as provided in this section 1962(c)( 4).

(A) Use of High Pressure Gaseous Fuel or Hydrogen Stora ge System

. A vehicle equipped with a high pressure gaseous f uel storage system capable of refueling at 3600 pounds per square inch or more and operating exclusively on this gaseous fuel shall qualify for an advanced componen try PZEV allowance of 0.2.

15-Day Notice: 07/25/08 18

(B) Credits from PZEVs. The amount of g/mi ZEV credits from PZEVs earned by a manufacturer in a given model yea r shall be expressed in units of g/mi NMOG, and shall be equal to the total number o f PZEVs produced and delivered for sale in California that the manufacturer applie s towards meeting its ZEV requirement for the model year subtracted from the total number of PZEV allowances from PZEVs produced and delivered for sale in California by th e manufacturer in the model year and then multiplied by the NMOG fleet average requireme nt for PCs and LDT1s for that model year.

(C) Separate Credit Accounts. The number of credits from a manufacturer’s [i] ZEVs, [ii] advanced technology P ZEVs, and [iii] all other PZEVs shall each be maintained separately.

(3) ZEV Credits for MDVs and LDTs Other Than LDT1s

. ZEVs and PZEVs classified as MDVs or as LDTs other than LDT1s may be counted toward the ZEV requirement for PCs, and LDT1s, and LDT2s as applicable , and included in the calculation of ZEV credits as specified in this sec tion 1962(g) if the manufacturer so designates.

(4) ZEV Credits for Advanced Technology Demonstration P rograms. A vehicle, other than a NEV, that is placed in a California ad vanced technology demonstration program may earn ZEV credits even if it is not “delivered for sale. ” or registered with the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). To earn such credits, the manufacturer must demonstrate to the r easonable satisfaction of the Executive Officer that the vehicles will be regular ly used in applications appropriate to evaluate issues related to safety, infrastructure, fuel specifications or public education, and that for more than 50 percent of the first year of placement the vehicle will be situated in California. Such a vehicle is eligible to receive the same allowances and credits that it would have earned if placed in serv ice. To determine vehicle credit, the model-year designation for a demonstration vehicle shall be consistent with the modelyear designation for conventional vehicles placed i n the same timeframe.

(5) ZEV Credits for Transportation Systems.

(A) General

. In model years 2001 through 2011 2008 , a ZEV, advanced technology PZEV or PZEV placed as part of a transportation system may earn additional ZEV credits, which may used in the same manner as other credits earned by vehicles of that category, except as prov ided in section (g)(5)(C) below. A NEV is not eligible to earn credit for transportati on systems. To earn such credits, the

manufacturer must demonstrate to the reasonable sat isfaction of the Executive Officer that the vehicle will be used as a part of a projec t that uses an innovative transportation system as described in section (g)(5)(B) below.

Credits earned or allocated by PZEVs pursuant to this section (g)(5), not including all credits earned by the vehicle itself, may be used to satisfy up to one-fiftieth of the manufacturer’s ZEV obligation in any given model year, but may only be used in the same manner as other credits earned by vehicles of that category.

(D) Allocation of Credits

. Credits shall be assigned by the Executive Officer to the project manager or, in the absence o f a separate project manager, to the vehicle manufacturers upon demonstration tha t a vehicle has been placed in a project. Credits shall be allocated to vehicl e manufacturers by the Executive

Officer in accordance with a recommendation submitt ed in writing by the project manager and signed by all manufacturers participati ng in the project, and need not be allocated in direct proportion to the number of vehicles placed.45-Day Notice 02/08/08 Proposed §1962

Hearing Date: 03/27/08

15-Day Notice: 07/25/08 20 (6) Submittal Use

of ZEV Credits

. A manufacturer may meet the ZEV requirements in any given model year by submitting to the Executive Officer a commensurate amount of g/mi ZEV credits, consistent with section 1962(b). These credits may be earned previously by the manufacture r or acquired from another party, except that beginning with the 2006 model year cred its earned from NEVs offered for sale or placed in service in model years 2001 throu gh 2005 cannot be used to satisfy more than the following portion of a manufacturer’s percentage ZEV obligation that may only be satisfied with credits from ZEVs and, start ing with the 2009 model year, the manufacturer’s percentage ZEV obligation that may b e satisfied by credits from AT

beyond

75% 50% 75% 50%

This limitation applies to credits earned in model years 2001 through 2005 by the same manufacturer or earned in model years 2001 through 2005 by another manufacturer and acquired. The amount of g/mi ZEV credits requi red to be submitted shall be calculated according to the criteria set forth in t his section 1962(g).

(A) Carry forward provisions for LVMs. ZEV credits generated from excess production in model years 2005 through 2008, including those acquired from another party, may be carried forward and applied t o the manufacturer’s percentage ZEV obligation that may only be satisfied by credit s from ZEVs in section 1962.1(b)(2)(B)1.b. Beginning with the 2012 model year, those earned ZEV credits 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 manufacturer’s percentage ZEV obligation that may b e satisfied by credits from Enhanced AT PZEVs, AT PZEVs, or PZEVs. For example , ZEV credit earned in 2008 would retain full flexibility through 2011, at whic h time that credit could only be used as Enhanced AT PZEV, AT PZEV, or PZEV credits.

(B) Carry forward provisions for manufacturers other than LVMs

. ZEV credits generated from 2008 model year producti on by manufacturers that are not LVMs may be carried forward by the manufacturer pro ducing the ZEV credit until the manufacturer becomes subject to the LVM requirement s, after the transition period permitted in section 1962(b)(7)(A). When subject t o the LVM requirements, a manufacturer must comply with the provisions of sec tion 1962(g)(6)(A).

ZEV credits generated from 2008 model year producti on traded by a manufacturer other than a LVM to any other manufacturer, includi ng a LVM, are subject to section 1962(g)(6)(A), applicable beginning 2008 model year (e.g., a 2008 model year ZEV credit traded in calendar year 2010 can only be app lied towards the portion of the manufacturer’s requirement that must be met with ZE Vs through model year 2011;45-Day Notice 02/08/08 Proposed §1962

15-Day Notice: 07/25/08 21 beginning in model year 2012, the credit can only b e applied to the portion of the manufacturer’s requirement that may be met with Enh anced AT PZEVs, AT PZEVs, or PZEVs).

(7) Requirement to Make Up a ZEV Deficit

.

(A) General. A manufacturer that produces and delivers for sal e in California fewer ZEVs than required in a given mode l year shall make up the deficit by

the end of the next third model year by submitting to the Executive Officer a commensurate amount of g/mi ZEV credits, except tha t credits generated from PZEVs may be used to offset defi cits for two model years . The amount of g/mi ZEV credits required to be submitted shall be calculated by [i] adding the number of ZEVs produced and delivered for sale in California by the manufac turer 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 large volume manufacturer, not to exceed that permitted under se ction 1962(b)(2)), [ii] subtracting that total from the number of ZEVs required to be p roduced and delivered for sale in California by the manufacturer for the model year, and [iii] multiplying the resulting value by the fleet average requirements for PCs and LDT1s for the model year in which the

deficit is incurred.

(8) Penalty for Failure to Meet ZEV Requirements. Any manufacturer that fails to produce and deliver for sale in California the required number of ZEVs or and submit an appropriate amount of g/mi ZEV credits an d does not make up ZEV deficits within the specified time period shall be subject t o the Health and Safety Code section 43211 civil penalty applicable to a manufacturer th at sells a new motor vehicle that does not meet the applicable emission standards ado pted by the state board. The

cause of action shall be deemed to accrue when the ZEV deficits are not balanced by the end of the specified time period. For the purp oses of Health and Safety Code section 43211, the number of vehicles not meeting t he state board’s standards shall be calculated according to the following equation, pro vided that the percentage of a large volume manufacturer’s ZEV requirement for a given m odel year that may be satisfied with partial ZEV allowance vehicles or ZEV credits from such vehicles may not exceed the percentages permitted under section 1962(b)(2)( A):

(No. of ZEVs required to be produced and delivered for sale in California for the model year) - (No. of ZEVs produced and delivered f or sale in California for the model year) - (No. of ZEV allowances from partial Z EV allowance vehicles produced and delivered for sale in California for t he model year) - [(Amount of ZEV credits submitted for the model year) / (the fl eet average requirement for PCs and LDT1s for the model-year)].

15-Day Notice: 07/25/08 22 Vehicles, in the Passenger Car, Light-Duty Truck an d Medium-Duty Vehicle Classes,” adopted by the state board on August 5, 1999, and l ast amended December 19, 2003 [Insert date of amendments] , which is incorporated herein by reference.

(i) ZEV-Specific Definitions. The following definitions apply to this section

1962.

(1) “Advanced technology PZEV” or “AT PZEV” means any PZEV with an allowance greater than 0.2 before application of th e PZEV early introduction phase-in multiplier

(2) “Battery electric vehicle” means any vehicle that operates solely by use of a battery or battery pack, or that is powered prima rily through the use of an electric battery or battery pack but uses a flywheel or capa citor that stores energy produced by the electric motor or through regenerative braking to assist in vehicle operation.

(2.5 3 ) “Electric drive system” means an electric motor a nd associated power electronics which provide acceleration torque to th e drive wheels sometime during normal vehicle operation. This does not include co mponents that could act as a motor, but are configured to act only as a generator or en gine starter in a particular vehicle application.

(3 4 ) “Neighborhood electric vehicle” means a motor veh icle that meets the definition of Low-Speed Vehicle either in section 3 85.5 of the Vehicle Code or in 49 CFR 571.500 (as it existed on July 1, 2000), and is certified to zero-emission vehicle

standards.

(4 5 ) “Placed in service” means having been sold or lea sed to an end-user and not to a dealer or other distribution chain entity, and having been individually registered for on-road use by the California Department of Mot or Vehicles.

(4.5 6 ) “Regenerative braking” means the partial recovery of the energy normally dissipated into friction braking that is returned a s electrical current to an energy storage

device.

(5 7 ) “Specialty ZEV” means a ZEV that is designed for a commercial or governmental fleet application, and either [i] has the same zero emissions energy storage device and chassis as an existing ZEV from which it is modified, or [ii] in the case of a vehicle that is not based on an existing ZEV platform, is optimized for a particular duty cycle, such as urban delivery servi ce, that conflicts with optimization for maximum vehicle range.

(6 8 ) “Type 0, I, II, and III ZEV” all have the meaning s set forth in section 1962(d)(5)(A).45-Day Notice 02/08/08 Proposed §1962
