Passenger Automobile and Light Truck Greenhouse Gas Emission Regulations

Marginal note:Group

• 17 (1) For the purposes of this section, passenger automobiles or light trucks of the same model type and that have the same footprint constitute a group.

• Marginal note:Rounding

  (2) The CO₂ emission target values calculated in accordance with paragraphs (4)(b) and (5)(b) must be rounded to the nearest 0.1 gram per mile.

• Marginal note:Calculation of fleet average CO₂ equivalent emission standard for 2012 and subsequent model years

  (3) Subject to section 24, a company must calculate the fleet average CO₂ equivalent emission standard in respect of each fleet of its passenger automobiles and fleet of its light trucks of the 2012 and subsequent model years in accordance with the following formula:

  (Σ (A × B)) ÷ C

  where

  A

  is the CO₂ emission target value for each group of passenger automobiles or light trucks, determined in accordance with subsection (4) or (5), as the case may be, and expressed in grams of CO₂ per mile;

  B

  is the number of passenger automobiles or light trucks in the group in question; and

  C

  is the total number of passenger automobiles or light trucks in the fleet.

• Marginal note:Targets — fleet of passenger automobiles

  (4) The CO₂ emission target value applicable to a group of passenger automobiles of a given model year corresponds to the following:

  • (a) in the case of each group with a footprint that is less than or equal to 3.8 m² (41 square feet), the CO₂ emission target value is as set out in the following table for the model year in question:

    	Column 1	Column 2
    Item	Model Year	CO2 Emission Target Value (grams/mile)
    1	2012	244.0
    2	2013	237.0
    3	2014	228.0
    4	2015	217.0
    5	2016 and subsequent model years	206.0

  • (b) in the case of each group with a footprint that is greater than 3.8 m² (41 square feet) and less than or equal to 5.2 m² (56 square feet), the CO₂ emission target value is to be calculated using the following formula:

    (4.72 × f) + b

    where

    f

    is the footprint of the group, expressed in square feet, and

    b

    is the value set out in the following table for the model year in question:

    	Column 1	Column 2
    Item	Model Year	b
    1	2012	50.5
    2	2013	43.3
    3	2014	34.8
    4	2015	23.4
    5	2016 and subsequent model years	12.7

  • (c) in the case of each group with a footprint that is greater than 5.2 m² (56 square feet), the CO₂ emission target value is as set out in the following table for the model year in question:

    	Column 1	Column 2
    Item	Model Year	CO2 Emission Target Value (grams/mile)
    1	2012	315.0
    2	2013	307.0
    3	2014	299.0
    4	2015	288.0
    5	2016 and subsequent model years	277.0

• Marginal note:Targets — fleet of light trucks

  (5) The CO₂ emission target value applicable to a group of light trucks of a given model year corresponds to the following:

  • (a) in the case of each group with a footprint that is less than or equal to 3.8 m² (41 square feet), the CO₂ emission target value is as set out in the following table for the model year in question:

    	Column 1	Column 2
    Item	Model Year	CO2 Emission Target Value (grams/mile)
    1	2012	294.0
    2	2013	284.0
    3	2014	275.0
    4	2015	261.0
    5	2016 and subsequent model years	247.0

  • (b) in the case of each group with a footprint that is greater than 3.8 m² (41 square feet) and less than or equal to 6.1 m² (66 square feet), the CO₂ emission target value is to be calculated using the following formula:

    (4.04 × f) + b

    where

    f

    is the footprint of the group, expressed in square feet, and

    b

    is the value set out in the following table for the model year in question:

    	Column 1	Column 2
    Item	Model Year	b
    1	2012	128.6
    2	2013	118.7
    3	2014	109.4
    4	2015	95.1
    5	2016 and subsequent model years	81.1

  • (c) in the case of each group with a footprint that is greater than 6.1 m² (66 square feet), the CO₂ emission target value is as set out in the following table for the model year in question:

    	Column 1	Column 2
    Item	Model Year	CO2 Emission Target Value (grams/mile)
    1	2012	395.0
    2	2013	385.0
    3	2014	376.0
    4	2015	362.0
