  1. A Model Regulatory Program for Heavy-Duty Vehicles Fanta Kamakaté BAQ, December 2006 Yogyakarta, Indonesia

  2. ICCT Background • The goal of the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) is to dramatically reduce conventional pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions from personal, public and goods transportation in order to improve air quality and human health, and mitigate climate change. • The Council is made up of leading regulators and experts from around the world that participate as individuals based on their experience with air quality and transportation issues. • The ICCT promotes best practices and comprehensive solutions to improve vehicle emissions and efficiency, increase fuel quality and sustainability of alternative fuels, reduce pollution from the in-use fleet, and curtail emissions from international goods movement.

  3. ICCT Participants

  4. Why focus on commercial trucks? • Significant opportunity to improve public health worldwide through adoption of harmonized best practices from mature programs for heavy-duty vehicles • Nations in developing world and especially in Asia are important and growing markets for commercial trucks. • Commercial truck growth is larger than light duty vehicle growth • Standards enforcement are challenging in these emerging markets • Commercial vehicle manufacturers support harmonization

  5. 1. Significant Progress To Date in Reducing Emissions from New Vehicles ICCT forthcoming

  6. Great Opportunities for Public Health Benefits Estimated health benefits of lower sulfur fuels and improved emission standards for light and heavy-duty vehicles in China (2008-2030) ICCT 2006

  7. 2. Market Growth in Asian Countries China and India Commercial Truck Markets Rival Traditional Markets Source: Automotive World 2005

  8. 3. Industry Supports Harmonization • Commercial truck CEOs have met annually since 2003 to identify policies and actions that would promote the harmonization of government regulations and test procedures. • In 2005, the group called on nations to adopt global technical regulations: • Worldwide emissions certification test procedures • On-board diagnostics and • Engine and vehicle certification standards to cover nearly all real-world operating conditions (i.e., not-to-exceed standards).

  9. Elements of the Model Rule • Combines the best elements of the main heavy-duty-vehicle regulatory programs (i.e. EU, Japan, and the United States): • State-of-the-art emission standards • Ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel • Harmonized certification test procedure • In-use compliance and enforcement program.

  10. Emission Standards 1. Exhaust emission standards • 2. Crankcase emission prohibited • Newly developed closed crankcase filtration systems for turbocharged heavy-duty diesel engines enable this new provision. • 3. Evaporative emission standards • For gasoline and methanol fueled engines and vehicles ICCT forthcoming

  11. Scenarios under Consideration for Euro VI Walsh 2006 ICCT Model Program

  12. Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel Standards ICCT Model Program recommends low sulfur diesel fuel standard at 10 to 15 ppm and gasoline fuel at 10 to 30 ppm Current and Projected Worldwide Diesel Fuel Sulfur Levels Walsh 2005

  13. Harmonized certification test procedure EU, Japan, and US HD Test Cycles • Test procedure developed by the World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP-29), a body of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN-ECE). • Includes two representative test cycles: one transient test cycle (WHTC) and one steady state test cycle (WHSC). • Created to cover typical driving conditions in the EU, the United States, and Japan. • The ICCT will review WP-29 procedure once finalized and adopted by the nations with the main regulatory programs • Recently adopted by EU • Recommended emission standards must be reviewed under the UN-ECE test procedure to assess stringency and ensure feasibility.

  14. In-use Compliance & Enforcement • Manufacturer liability over useful life of vehicle: • 10 years or for light HDV:177,000 km, medium HDV: 298,000 km, heavy HDV: 700,000 km • In-use compliance with emission limits under all conditions encountered in normal vehicle operation and use with not to exceed standards: • Limited at 1.5 times emission standard • Procedures developed under UN-ECE • On-board diagnostics will be used in conjunction with fail-safe mechanisms to ensure that emissions controls are operating correctly: • Urea use in Selective Catalytic Reduction • Portable emission measurement systems could be used for compliance and enforcement purposes • US EPA currently uses PEMS for in-use heavy-duty vehicle compliance

  15. Conclusion • This is not a new regulatory program but rather guidance on the next steps for existing programs • Regulatory pace is nation-specific • Full package must be adopted to achieve harmonization benefits • Fuel economy not necessarily a trade-off with emission improvements • Publication expected early 2007
