Rule Summary

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is establishing a manufacturer-run, in-use emissions testing program for heavy-duty diesel trucks. Under this program, manufacturers will measure gaseous and particulate exhaust emissions from diesel engines using portable onboard emission measurement systems. This cooperative effort represents a significant advance in helping to ensure that the benefits of more stringent emission standards are realized under real-world driving conditions.

Amendments
  • Direct Final Rule for In-Use Testing for Heavy-Duty Diesel Engines and Vehicles; Emission Measurement Accuracy Margins for Portable Emission Measurement Systems and Program Revisions
  • Direct Final Rule for Revisions to In-Use Testing for Heavy-Duty Diesel Engines and Vehicles; Emissions Measurement and Instrumentation; Not-to-Exceed Emission Standards; and Technical Amendments for Off-Highway Engines
