Passenger Automobile and Light Truck Greenhouse Gas Emission Regulations

Marginal note:Allowance for certain full-size pick-up trucks

• 18.4 (1) Subject to subsections (2) to (4), for fleets of light trucks of the 2017 to 2025 model years, a company may elect to calculate, using the following formula, a CO₂ allowance for the presence, in its fleet, of full-size pick-up trucks equipped with hybrid electric technologies and of full-size pick-up trucks that achieve carbon-related exhaust emission values below the applicable target value:

  $\frac{\mathrm{\Sigma \; (}{\mathrm{A}}_{\mathrm{H}}\times {\mathrm{B}}_{\mathrm{H}})\; +\; \Sigma \; ({\mathrm{A}}_{\mathrm{R}}\times {\mathrm{B}}_{\mathrm{R}})}{\mathrm{C}}$

  where

  A_H

  is the allowance for the use of hybrid electric technologies, namely,

  • (a) 10 grams of CO₂ per mile for mild hybrid electric technologies, or

  • (b) 20 grams of CO₂ per mile for strong hybrid electric technologies;

  B_H

  is the number of full-size pick-up trucks in the fleet that are equipped with mild hybrid electric technologies or that are equipped with strong hybrid electric technologies, as the case may be;

  A_R

  is the allowance for full-size pick-up trucks that achieve a certain carbon-related exhaust emission value, namely,

  • (a) 10 grams of CO₂ per mile for full-size pick-up trucks that achieve a carbon-related exhaust emission value that is less than or equal to their applicable target value, determined in accordance with subsection 17(7), multiplied by 0.85 and greater than their applicable target value multiplied by 0.8, or

  • (b) 20 grams of CO₂ per mile for full-size pick-up trucks that achieve a carbon-related exhaust emission value that is less than or equal to their applicable target value, determined in accordance with subsection 17(7), multiplied by 0.8;

  B_R

  is the number of full-size pick-up trucks in the fleet that achieve a carbon-related exhaust emission value that is within the range referred to in paragraph (a) of the description of A_R or that is less than or equal to their applicable target value, determined in accordance with subsection 17(7), multiplied by 0.8, as the case may be; and

  C

  is the total number of light trucks in the fleet.

• Marginal note:Allowance limitations — hybrid electric technologies

  (2) The allowance for the use of hybrid electric technologies referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) of the description of A_H in subsection (1) may be calculated in respect of full-size pick-up trucks of a model year only if the percentage in the fleet of full-size pick-up trucks of that model year that are equipped with those technologies is equal to or greater than the percentage for that model year set out in section 1870(a)(1) or (2), depending on the technology used, of Title 40, chapter I, subchapter C, part 86, of the CFR. The allowance referred to in paragraph (a) of the description of A_H may be calculated only for full-size pick-up trucks of the 2017 to 2021 model years.

• Marginal note:Description of A_H

  (2.1) If the percentage in the fleet of full-size pick-up trucks of a model year that are equipped with mild hybrid electric technologies or strong hybrid electric technologies is less than the percentage set out for the model year in, depending on the technology used, section 1870(a)(1) or (2) of Title 40, chapter I, subchapter C, part 86, of the CFR, the allowance for the use of hybrid electric technologies referred to in the description of A_H in subsection (1) is 10 grams of CO₂ per mile for those trucks, if the percentage in the fleet of full-size pick-up trucks that are equipped with either mild hybrid electric technologies or strong hybrid electric technologies is equal to or greater than the percentage referred to in section 1870(a)(3) of Title 40, chapter I, subchapter C, part 86, of the CFR. The allowance may be calculated only for full-size pick-up trucks of the 2017 to 2021 model years.

• Marginal note:Allowance limitations — carbon-related exhaust emissions performance

  (3) The allowance for full-size pick-up trucks that achieve a carbon-related exhaust emission value referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) of the description of A_R in subsection (1) may be calculated in respect of full-size pick-up trucks of a model year only if the percentage in the fleet of full-size pick-up trucks of that model year that achieve such a value is equal to or greater than the percentage for that model year set out in section 1870(b)(1) or (2), depending on the emission performance achieved, of Title 40, chapter I, subchapter C, part 86, of the CFR. The allowance referred to in paragraph (a) of the description of A_R may be calculated only for full-size pick-up trucks of the 2017 to 2021 model years.

• Marginal note:Single allowance

  (4) A company must not claim, in respect of the same pick-up truck, both the allowance referred to in the description of A_H in subsection (1) and the allowance referred to in the description of A_R in that subsection.

• Marginal note:Election

  (5) A company that elects to multiply the number of advanced technology vehicles in its fleet in accordance with subsection 18.1(4) must not use the allowance referred to in the description of A_R in subsection (1) for the same vehicle.
