• (b) in respect of any other of the company’s motorcycles, the classification unit determined in accordance with section 420, subpart E, of the CFR. (famille de moteurs)

“family emission limit”

“family emission limit” means the maximum emission level established by a company for an engine family for the purpose of emissions averaging. (limite d’émissions de la famille de moteurs)

“fuel tank permeation emissions”

“fuel tank permeation emissions” means evaporative emissions resulting from permeation of fuel through the fuel tank materials. (émissions par perméation du réservoir de carburant)

“subfleet”

“subfleet” means motorcycles of a specific model year that have a family emission limit and that a company manufactures in Canada, or imports into Canada, for the purpose of sale to the first retail purchaser. Each of the following groupings of motorcycles constitutes a subfleet for the purpose of emissions averaging:

• (a) in respect of the applicable HC+NO_x emission standard for all Class I and Class II motorcycles;

• (b) in respect of the applicable HC+NO_x emission standard for all Class III motorcycles;

• (c) in respect of the fuel tank permeation emission standard for all motorcycles with a non-metal fuel tank. (sous-parc)

• 32.2 (1) Subject to subsection (2), any motorcycle that does not conform to the applicable HC+NO_x emission standard or fuel tank permeation emission standard set out in the section of the CFR that is referred to in paragraph 17(a) shall conform, as the case may be, to:

  • (a) the applicable family emission limit for HC+NO_x emissions; or

  • (b) the family emission limit for fuel tank permeation emissions.

• (2) In any model year, the HC+NO_x family emission limit applicable to a motorcycle shall not exceed the applicable family emission limit cap set out in section 449, subpart E, of the CFR.

• (3) In any model year, a company’s subfleet may include motorcycles that conform to a family emission limit that is greater than the applicable HC+NO_x emission standard set out in the section of the CFR that is referred to in paragraph 17(a) or subsection 17.1(2) or the fuel tank permeation emission standard set out in that section if

  • (a) each motorcycle of a subfleet is covered by an EPA certificate, each motorcycle conforms to the family emission limit referred to in the EPA certificate and belongs to an engine family of which the total number of units sold in Canada does not exceed the total number of units sold in the United States; or

  • (b) in respect of a subfleet that contains motorcycles that do not meet all of the criteria set out in paragraph (a), the average HC+NO_x value or the average fuel tank permeation value, as the case may be, does not exceed the applicable HC+NO_x emission standard set out in the section of the CFR that is referred to in paragraph 17(a) or subsection 17.1(2) or the fuel tank permeation emission standard set out in that section, in respect of

    • (i) the subfleet, or

    • (ii) the group of motorcycles within the subfleet that do not meet all of the criteria set out in paragraph (a).
