  1. Proposed Engine Manufacturer Diagnostic (EMD) System Regulation • Mobile Source Control DivisionCalifornia Air Resources Board May 20, 2004 Sacramento, California

  2. California Environmental Protection Agency Air Resources Board Diagnostic Systems • Comprised of an on-board computer, input and output components, and software routines • Use information from the input components to detect malfunctions of emission controls • Illuminate warning light and store fault information for repair technicians • Already implemented on light- and medium-duty vehicles since 1996 model year (OBD II)

  3. California Environmental Protection Agency Air Resources Board Reasons for EMD • Heavy-duty diesel trucks account for a substantial portion of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) emissions • More stringent on-road heavy-duty engine emission standards being phased in starting in 2007 • new or improved emission control technologies will be used to meet the standards • No existing diagnostic requirements • EMD would ensure that these emission controls are working properly

  4. California Environmental Protection Agency Air Resources Board NOx and PM Emissions in 2010 Diesel PM NOx

  5. California Environmental Protection Agency Air Resources Board Reasons for EMD • Heavy-duty diesel trucks account for a substantial portion of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) emissions • More stringent on-road heavy-duty engine emission standards being phased in starting in 2007 • new or improved emission control technologies will be used to meet the standards • No existing diagnostic requirements • EMD would ensure that these emission controls are working properly

  6. California Environmental Protection Agency Air Resources Board On-Road Heavy-Duty Diesel Emission Standards Becoming More Stringent

  7. California Environmental Protection Agency Air Resources Board Reasons for EMD • Heavy-duty diesel trucks account for a substantial portion of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) emissions • More stringent on-road heavy-duty engine emission standards being phased in starting in 2007 • new or improved emission control technologies will be used to meet the standards • No existing diagnostic requirements • EMD would ensure that these emission controls are working properly

  8. California Environmental Protection Agency Air Resources Board Proposed EMD Regulation • Would apply to: • On-road heavy-duty engines • 2007 and subsequent model years • Targets major emission control components • Builds on the existing manufacturer’s diagnostic systems on heavy-duty engines

  9. California Environmental Protection Agency Air Resources Board Proposed Monitoring Requirements • Functional monitoring of following components required: • fuel system • exhaust gas recirculation system • PM trap • Monitors calibrated to design limits, not to emission thresholds

  10. California Environmental Protection Agency Air Resources Board Proposed Monitoring Requirements (cont.) • Monitoring of electronic components (e.g., sensors, valves) that are : • “emission-related” or • used for other EMD monitors • Monitors check for circuit faults and proper function

  11. California Environmental Protection Agency Air Resources Board Additional Requirements • Alert the vehicle operator via a warning light • Store information about the detected malfunction for repair technicians

  12. California Environmental Protection Agency Air Resources Board Cost Effectiveness of Proposed Requirements • Virtually no additional cost expected • EMD system makes use of sensors and software already added to meet tailpipe standards • Proposed requirements retain the cost-effectiveness of the 2007 tailpipe standards: • $0.42/lb of NOx+NMHC and $3.42/lb of PM • Assumes EMD helps protect emission benefits already expected from 2007 tailpipe standards

  13. California Environmental Protection Agency Air Resources Board Future Regulation Proposal • EMD is a first step towards a comprehensive heavy-duty diagnostic regulation • Staff anticipates a proposal for Board consideration in 2005 • More like the current OBD II regulation. • Will require: • Comprehensive monitoring of all emission-control components/systems. • Monitors tied to emission levels. • Standardization requirements

  14. California Environmental Protection Agency Air Resources Board Summary • Heavy-duty emission standards becoming more stringent starting in 2007 • Proposed EMD regulation necessary interim step to help maintain low emissions • Staff to propose comprehensive heavy-duty diagnostic regulation in 2005
