NOTES
All Countries
Compression ignition, smoke: Percentages apply to smoke opacity at acceleration/lug/peak modes.
Canada
From September 1, 1997, Canadian standards are harmonized with U.S. standards by regulation, for all classes of on-road vehicles.
Heavy trucks: For heavy trucks (heavy-duty vehicles), Canadian vehicles were provided to U.S. standards by a Memorandum of Understanding with the industry.
Mexico
Compression ignition, particulates: The limit is 0.10 for vehicles under 14,969 kg and 0.7 for vehicles over 14,969 kg.
United States
Compression ignition: Standards apply to both diesel and methanol-fueled engines.
Spark ignition: Standards apply to gasoline, methanol and liquified petroleum gas-fueled engines (LPG).
Spark ignition, weights: The first category of spark ignition heavy trucks in this table weighs more than 8,500 pounds and weighs 14,000 pounds or less. The second category weighs more than 14,000 pounds.
