Public Meeting to Consider
the "LEV III" Amendments to the California Greenhouse Gas and Criteria
Pollutant Exhaust and Evaporative Emission Standards and Test
Procedures, and to the On-Board Diagnostic System Requirements for
Passenger Cars, Light-Duty Trucks, and Medium-Duty Vehicles, and to the
Evaporative Emission Requirements for Heavy-Duty Vehicles; More Information Staff Presentation |

and More Information Staff Presentation |

will present to the Board the Advanced Clean Cars (ACC) program. The
ACC program combines the control of smog-causing pollutants and
greenhouse gas emissions into a single coordinated package of
requirements for model years 2015 through 2025 and assures the
development of environmentally superior cars that will continue to
deliver the performance, utility, and safety car owners have come to
expect. The Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) regulation (as proposed for
amendment) will act as the technology forcing piece of the ACC program,
pushing manufacturers to produce ZEVs and PHEVs in the 2018 through
2025 model years. In addition, the ACC program also includes
amendments to the Clean Fuels Outlet requirements that will assure that
ultra-clean fuels such as hydrogen are available to meet vehicle
demands brought on by amendments to the ZEV regulation. |
