Figure 2-32 Heavy-duty Diesel PM2.s Emission Rates (g/mile) by Age Group and Regulatory Class for Model Year 2015
using Nationally Representative Operating Mode Distribution
2.1.2.3.3 2027-2060 Model Years
The T&M approach for model years 2027 through 2060 is similar to the approach for 2010 through 2026,
but since the HD2027 standards set longer warranty period and useful life requirements (as shown in ) for
diesel heavy-duty vehicles starting with the 2027 model year, we adjusted the T&M effects and the
resulting PM2.5 emission rates to account for those changes. This is discussed in more detail in Appendix B.
2.1.2.4 Model Year Trends
Figure 2-33 displays the PM2.5 rates by model year and regulatory class for 0-3 age group estimated in
grams per mile (g/mile) using nationally representative operating mode distributions and average speeds.
MOVES models a very large decrease in PM2.5 emission rates starting in model year 2007 (decrease on
order of ~10 to 40 times), when all regulatory classes are assumed to have implemented diesel particulate
filters, with the exception of gliders (Section 2.5). As discussed in Section 2.1.1.8, some of the variation
between regulatory classes is also due to differences in the application of T&M adjustment factors and
differences in the operating mode distributions and average speeds.
Figure 2-34 provides resolution to the model year changes in PM2.5 emission rates for the 2007 and later
model years. Further reductions in PM2.5 emissions are observed for each regulatory class between the
2007-2009 and the 2014 and later emission rates. The higher rates for MY 2010 and later MHD vehicles
stem directly from the HDIUT data as shown in Figure 2-29 and discussed in Section 2.1.2.2.1. The minor
variation in the gram per mile emission rates within the 2010-2013 and 2014+ model year groups by model
year and regulatory class are due to differences in operating mode distributions. Finally, there is a small
change in PM2.5 rates beginning in MY2027 due to warranty period provisions of the HD2027 rule.

to less than ~10 percent due the implementation of diesel particulate filters.

2.1.3 Total Hydrocarbons (THC) and Carbon Monoxide (CO)
While diesel engine emissions of THC and CO are important, diesels are not the largest contributors to
mobile source THC and CO emission inventories. Diesel engines generally produces less THC and CO than
similar gasoline engines. Regulations of non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC), combined with the common
use of diesel oxidation catalysts have yielded reductions in both THC and CO emissions from later model
year heavy-duty diesel engines. As a result, data collection efforts typically do not focus on THC or CO from
heavy-duty diesel engines, and less data is available. As discussed in Section 1.1, this report discusses the
derivation of total hydrocarbons (THC), from which MOVES estimates other hydrocarbons and organic
gaseous pollutants.
2.1.3.1 1950-2009 Model Years
We used emissions data combined with emissions standards to develop appropriate model year groups.
Since standards did not change frequently in the past for either NMHC or CO, we created fewer model year
groups than we did for NOx and PM. The MOVES THC and CO model year groups are 1950-1989, 1990-
2006, and 2007-2009.
2.1.3.1.1 Data Sources
The heavy-duty diesel THC and CO emission rate development followed a methodology that resembles the
light-duty methodology12, where emission rates were calculated from 1-hz data produced from chassis
dynamometer testing. Data sources were all heavy-duty chassis test programs:
79
-------
1. CRC E-55/5940: As mentioned earlier, this program represents the largest volume of heavy-
duty emissions data collected from chassis dynamometer tests. All tests were used, not
just those using the TEOM. Overall, 75 trucks were tested on a variety of drive cycles.
Model years ranged from 1969 to 2005, with testing conducted by West Virginia University
from 2001 to 2005.
2. Northern Front Range Air Quality Study (NFRAQS)53: This study was performed by the
Colorado Institute for Fuels and High-Altitude Engine Research in 1997. Twenty-one HD
diesel vehicles from model years 1981 to 1995 selected to be representative of the in-use
fleet in the Northern Front Range of Colorado were tested over three different transient
drive cycles.
3. New York Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC)54: NYSDEC sponsored this
study to investigate the nature and extent of heavy-duty diesel vehicle emissions in the
New York Metropolitan Area. West Virginia University tested 25 heavy heavy-duty and 12
medium heavy-duty diesel trucks under transient and steady-state drive cycles.
4. West Virginia University: Additional historical data collected on chassis dynamometers by
WVU is available in the EPA Mobile Source Observation Database.
The pre-2010 onroad data used for the NOx analysis was not used since THC and CO were not collected in
the MEMS program, and the ROVER program used the less accurate non-dispersive infrared (NDIR)
technology instead of flame-ionization detection (FID) to measure HC. To keep THC and CO definitions and
data sources consistent, we only used chassis test programs which measured THC using a FID exclusively
for the analysis. Time-series alignment was performed using a method similar to that used for light-duty
chassis test data.

2.13.12 1950-2006 Model Years
Similar to the analysis done for PM2.5, for each second of operation on the chassis dynamometer, the
instantaneous scaled tractive power (STPt) was calculated using Equation 1-6 and the second was
subsequently classified to one of the 23 operating modes defined in Table 1-4. We used the same track-
load coefficients, A, B, and C pertaining to heavy-duty vehicles that were used in the PM2.5 analysis.
80
-------
Using the methods introduced in the NOx analysis, we averaged emissions by vehicle and operating mode.
We then averaged across all vehicles by model year group, age group, and operating mode. In populating
the emission rates in MOVES, we used the age group that had the most data in each regulatory class and
model year group combination. These age groups are shown in Table 2-27. We then used the T&M effects
discussed in Section 2.1.3.3 to extrapolate the emission rates for each age group. For missing operating
modes, we extrapolated using STP as was discussed for NOx in Section 2.1.1.4.2. For the 1950-2002 group,
data for the HHD and Urban Bus regulatory classes were combined because they have the same CO and
NMHC emission standards, although they have separate age effects as discussed in Section 2.1.3.3.

With limited data on LHD45 vehicles, we applied the LHD2b3 emissions data to all LHD vehicles. We also
applied the LHD emission rates from 1950-2002 to the LHD 2003-2006 model year group. For 2003-2006
MHD and Urban Bus regulatory classes emission rates, we applied the HHD 2003-2006 emission rates.
Figure 2-36 and Figure 2-37 show the rates for MHD and HHD for MY 2002 for THC and CO, respectively,
based on the methods described above. The THC and CO mean emission rates increase with STP, though
there is much higher uncertainty than for the NOx rates (Figure 2-1). This pattern could be due to the
smaller data set or may reflect a less direct correlation of THC and CO to STP as is observed for the 2010
and later model year rates.
N When we extended calculations to 40 ages, we duplicated the emission rates for MY 1960 for model
years back to 1950.

2,1,3,1,3 2007-2009 Model Years
With the increased use of diesel oxidation catalysts (DOCs) in conjunction with DPFs, we assumed an 80
percent reduction in zero-mile emission rates for both THC and CO for 2007-2009 model years. The
derivation of the T&M effects for 2007-2009 model years are presented in
Table 2-28 and discussed in Appendix B.9. As shown in Figure 2-48, the CO emission rates developed using
this assumption are significantly lower than the model year 2010 and later emission rates that were
developed based on the HDIUT data and could be re-evaluated in future versions of MOVES.
2,1,3,2 2010-2060 Model Years
We used the MY 2010+ HDIUT data set, using the same vehicles as used for NOx and described in Section
2.1.1.2 and Table 2-2. The HDIUT dataset includes vehicles in the HHD, MHD, LHD45, LHD2b3 and Urban
Bus regulatory classes. The HDIUT emission measurements are made using instruments that conform to
the requirements described in 40 CFR Part 1065, which require the use of a flame ionization detector (FID)
for measuring total hydrocarbons (THC)55 and a non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) analyzer for carbon
monoxide (CO)56
The THC and CO emission rates have more uncertainty than the NOx emission rates, which suggests a less
direct correlation of THC and CO to STP. Nevertheless, we followed the analysis methodology used for MY
2010+ NOx rates as described in Sections 1.6 (calculation of STP and assignment of operating modes),
2.1.1.5 (calculation of mean emission rates), 2.1.1.5.1 (NOx FEL groups) and Appendix G (selection of/sco/e).
Figure 2-38 and Figure 2-39 display the HHD THC and CO emission rates estimated from the HDIUT data by
the NOx FEL Groups used to develop the MY 2010-2013 emission rates. Comparisons of the THC and CO
emission rates by NOx FEL Groups for the LHD and MHD regulatory classes are provided in Appendix H.
These comparisons show that there are significant differences among the emission rates in different NOx
FEL groups for THC emissions. The THC emission rates in the 0.2 and 0.35 NOx FEL group are lower than the
THC emission rates from the vehicles in the 0.5 NOx FEL groups for each regulatory class, with the
differences being the most significant for MHD (Appendix H.1.2) and especially HHD (Figure 2-38). For CO,
there is not a consistent trend among the different NOx FEL groups and regulatory classes. Regardless, we
have analyzed the CO emission rates using the NOx FEL groups for consistency.

improved emission control hardware and engine and aftertreatment operation.

Figure 2-43 CO emission rates for the MY 2010-2013 and MY 2014-2015 vehicles in the HHD 0.20 NOx FEL Group
LHD2b3 and LHD45 emission rates are based on the vehicles with "LHD" service class in the HDIUT data set,
which only contains engine-certified LHD45 vehicles. Urban Bus emission rates are based on HHD vehicles
in the HDIUT data set. MHD and HHD emission rates are based on the emission rates from those vehicle
classes. The HDIUT data set predominantly contains vehicles in the 0-3 age group with only a handful
vehicles in the 4-5 age group. Since the HDIUT data is measured and submitted by the manufacturer and
the test vehicles are required to be free of any tampering or mal-maintenance, we can safely assume that
they represent zero-mile vehicles for the purpose of assigning base rates and applying the tampering and
mal-maintenance effects.
A comparison of HDIUT-based THC and CO emission rates for MY 2010+ heavy-duty vehicles by regulatory
class are shown in Figure 2-47 and Figure 2-48, respectively. The THC rates, generally low for diesel
vehicles, are comparable to MY 2007-2009 rates for both MHD and HHD. However, for CO, the HHD rates
for MY 2010+ are significantly higher compared to MY 2007-2009 but are comparable to the pre-2007 data
86
-------
which are based on emission measurements. The variation in the 2010-2018 rates reflects the model year
variation in the production volume by NOx FEL group, and use of the different 0.2 FEL NOx model year
group between 2010-2013 and 2014 and later.
In the 2017 review of a draft version of this report, we received a comment that single-cell-NDIR-based CO
measurements suffer from severe drift that is not corrected by zero and span checks because the
calibration gases are dry, while vehicle tailpipe exhaust gases are not dry. Based on the HDIUT data, it is
not possible for us to determine if MY 2010+ CO emission rates are affected by the alleged drift in the CO
measurements. We looked at the CO emissions for each of 93 vehicles in the HHD 0.20 FEL group (from the
2010-2016 selection years) and confirmed the high average CO rate is not due to a few outliers. Further,
the CO emission rate for the MHD and LHD vehicles is significantly lower (see Figure 2-48). Based on the
available data and trends, we are unable to confirm whether or not the high CO emissions for the HHD
vehicles is real or an artifact of CO sensor drift. In Section 2.1.5, we demonstrated that the fleet-average
heavy-duty CO emission rate estimates from MOVES compare well with measurements from heavy-duty
exhaust plume capture and tunnel measurement campaigns conducted in 2015 and 2017, which increased
our confidence that the CO emission rates measured from HDIUT are reasonable. Thus, we decided to
accept the reported HDIUT CO emission rates as valid.
As discussed in 2.1.1.5.5, we did not reduce the LHD2b3 zero-mile THC and CO emission rates due to the
implementation of the Tier 3 standard. For LHD2b3 2010 and later vehicles, the MOVES emissions rates are
based on LHD45 vehicles measured in the HDIU program, as described above. The surrogate LHD45
emission rates, for THC, CO, and PM2.5emissions, imply that current levels on the FTP cycle are substantially
below the Tier 3 standards. For example, when MOVES rates are used to simulate FTP cycle for NMHC, the
result is a rate of approximately 0.05 grams per mile, while the simulated FTP estimate for CO is less than
1.0 gram/mile. However, we did account for the lengthened useful life standard required by the Tier 3
standard in the Tampering & Mal-maintenance standards as discussed in the next section.
The THC and CO emissions for well-maintained vehicle are treated as constant for all model years beyond
2018, but the tampering and mal-maintenance effects vary by model year as described in the next section.
2,1,3,3 Tampering and Mal-maintenance
For all model years, we applied tampering and mal-maintenance effects to adjust emissions from the
measured age to all age groups, lowering emissions for younger ages and raising them for older ages, using
the methodology described in Appendix B. We applied the tampering and mal-maintenance effects shown
below in Table 2-28 to CO and THC.
For MY2027+ LHD45, MHD, HHD vehicles, we adjusted the T&M effects in estimating the emission rates for
CO and THC to account for the longer warranty period and useful life requirements in HD2027 standards
(as shown in Table B-2).

and Bus are at partial (33%) and full OBD adoption in MY 2010-2012
and MY 2013, respectively.
While LHD2b3, LHD45 and MHD vehicles share the same pre-2010 MY fully deteriorated emission rates for
THC and CO, they deteriorate differently as they age. Tables B-4 and B-5 estimate the degree of T&M that
occurs by age by using the warranty and full useful life requirements for each heavy-duty regulatory class
with the average mileage accumulation rates. We multiplied these increases by the T&M age-based
adjustment factors shown in Tables B-4 and B-5and applied the result to the zero-mile (or age 0) emissions
rate to estimate the emissions rate by age group using Equation 8-3. As shown in Table B-4, there are
different age effects for Tier 2 and Tier 3 LHD2b3 vehicles. We used Equation 2-27 to estimate a weighted
average of the THC and CO emission rates during the Tier 3 phase-in (Model year 2017-2022) as discussed
in Section 2.1.1.5.5.
Figure 2-44 and Figure 2-45 show THC and CO emission rates by age group for MY 2015. Due to our
projections of T&M effects, there are large increases as a function of age. Additional data collection would
be valuable to determine if real-world deterioration effects are consistent with those in MOVES.

per mile emission rates within the model year groups and between regulatory classes are due to
differences in operating mode distributions. Differences in the emission rates for age group 0-3 between
regulatory classes are also due to different application of the T&M adjustment factors (Section 2.1.3.3). For
example, as discussed in Section 2.1.3.1.3, the zero-mile MY 2003-2006 emission rates by operating mode
are equivalent for HHD, MHD, and Urban Bus, but the T&M adjustment factors are applied differently for
each regulatory class, and the operating mode distributions are difference, resulting in the differing gram
per mile emission rates observed for 2003-2006 in Figure 2-46 and Figure 2-48.
The MY 2007-2009 emission rates reflect the use of diesel oxidation catalysts and are derived by reducing
the CO and THC emissions in MY 2003-2006 by 80 percent and applying the model-year and regulatory
class specific T&M adjustment factors. For MY 2010-2018, the significant variation in the emission rates by
model year are due to the model year specific production volumes of the NOx FEL Group and the model
year split of the 2010-2013 and 2014 and later 0.2 NOx FELgroup (Section 2.1.1.5.2 and Section 2.1.3.2).
For example, the spike in THC emissions observed in the 2010 model year HHD vehicles (Figure 2-47) is
explained by the high THC emissions of the 0.5 NOx FEL group (Figure 2-38), and the high production
volumes of the 0.5 NOx FEL engines in MY 2010 (~50% of the total HHD, see Figure 2-12).
Finally, there are small reductions in emission rates attributable to the longer warranty period and useful
life requirements in the HD2027 rule.

2.1.4 Energy
2.1.4.1 1950-2009 Model Years
When we extended calculations to 40 ages, we duplicated the emission rates for MY 1960 for model years
back to 1950.
91
-------
2.1.4.1.1 LHD
Energy rates for LHD (LHD2b3 and LHD45) for pre-2010 MY diesel vehicles are unchanged from
MOVES2010a. In MOVES2010, the energy rates for LHD2b3 regulatory class, along with the light-duty
regulatory classes (regClasslDs 20 and 30), varied by fueltype, model year group, engine technology, and
"size weight fraction" as discussed in the MOVES2010a energy updates report.57 The energy rates in
MOVES2010a were simplified to be a single set of energy rates for each regulatory class, fuel type and
model year combination by weighting across engine size, engine technology, and vehicle weight according
to the default population in the MOVES2010 sample vehicle population table. The resulting C02 (g/mile)
emission rates and fuel economy values (miles per gallon) calculated from the energy rates using nationally
representative operating mode distributions and average speeds are shown in Figure 2-51 and Figure 2-52.
Because this approach uses highly detailed data, coupled with information on the vehicle fleet that varies
for each model year, model year variability was introduced into the energy rates used in MOVES.
2.1.4.1.2 MHD, Urban Bus, and HHD
The data used to develop NOx rates was used to develop running-exhaust energy rates for the MHD, Urban
Bus, and HHD vehicles. The energy rates were based on the same data (Section 2.1.1.2), STP structure and
calculation steps as in the NOx analysis (Sections 2.1.1.3 and 2.1.1.4); however, unlike NOx, we did not
classify the energy rates by model year, regulatory class, or by age, because neither variable had a
significant impact on energy rates or C02.
In MOVES, C02 emissions were used as the basis for calculating energy rates. To calculate energy rates
(kJ/hour) from C02 emissions (Equation 2-32), we used a heating value (HV) of 138,451 kJ/gallon and C02
fuel-specific emission factor (fC02) of 10,180 g/gallon58 for conventional diesel fuel.
HV
fenergy = fCo2 T~ Equation 2-32
JC02
The energy rates for the MHD, Urban Bus, and HHD vehicle classes are shown in Figure 2-49. Compared to
other emissions, the uncertainties in the energy rates are smaller, in part because there is no classification
by age, model year, or regulatory class. Thus, the number of vehicles used to determine each rate is larger,
providing for a greater certainty of the average mean energy rate.
Operating mode-based energy consumption rates are the same across MHD, Urban Bus, and HHD
regulatory classes. However, the distribution of time spent in the operating mode varies between these
regulatory classes based on differences in their activity and tractive power demand. Thus, the C02 (g/mile)
emission rates and fuel economy values (miles per gallon) calculated from the energy rates using nationally
representative operating mode distributions differ by regulatory class as shown in Figure 2-51 and Figure
2-52.

As shown in Table 2-29, the majority of vehicles within the NOx FEL groups of 0.35 and 0.5 are MY 2010-
2013 vehicles, for both HHD and MHD vehicles. As discussed in the next subsection, we expect improved
energy efficiencies in MY 2014 and later vehicles due to the phase-in of the Phase 1 Heavy-duty
Greenhouse Gas Emission Standards. Due to the small sample of vehicles in the 0.35 and 0.5 NOx FEL
groups, we assume that the MY 2010-2016 energy rates are representative of both the MY 2010-2013 and
the 2014-2016 model year groups.

Using this method, the energy rates for each model year are unique based on NOx FEL based production
volume weighting, as can be observed in the model year variability among the MY 2010-2013 C02 (g/mile)
emission rates and fuel economy values (miles per gallon) shown in Figure 2-51 and Figure 2-52.
2.1.4.3 2014-2060 Model Years
2.1.4.3.1 LHD45, MHD, Urban Bus, arid HHD Energy Rates
In developing the MY 2014-2060 running energy rates for LHD45, MHD, Urban Bus, and HHD, we also used
the NOx FEL groups, model year groups, and production volume weights as discussed in the previous
94
-------
section (Section 2.1.4.2). The MY 2014-2018 running energy rates were calculated as a weighted average
using the MY 2014-2015/2016 rates from the 0.2 NOx FEL group, and the MY 2010-2016 rates from the
0.35 and 0.5 NOx FEL groups. Although the 0.35 and 0.5 NOx FEL groups contain measurements from MY
2010-2013 vehicles (Table 2-29), applying the MY-specific production volume weighting of the FEL groups
means that the MY 2014-2018 emission rates are primarily or entirely based on the data from the MY
2014-2015/2016 vehicles in the 0.2 NOx FEL group. The MY 2014-2018 running energy rates developed in
this step are considered the "baseline" - the reductions in energy rates expected from the Medium- and
Heavy-Duty Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Phase 1 Rule59 were applied to the "baseline" energy rates as
described below.
MOVES accounts for the improved fuel efficiency achieved by the HD GHG Rulemakings in two ways. First,
the running, start, and extended idle rates for total energy consumption are reduced to be consistent with
the HD GHG rules. Second, the truck weights and road-load coefficients are updated to reflect the lower
vehicle curb weights through lightweighting of materials, lower resistance tires, and improved
aerodynamics of the vehicle chassis. Vehicle weights and road-load coefficients are discussed in the
Population and Activity Report.
The HD GHG Phase 1 rule59 was implemented starting with 2014 model year and increased in stringency
through model year 2018. The reductions in start and running energy rates reflect the improvements
expected from improved energy efficiency in the powertrain. The estimated reductions for heavy-duty
diesel energy rates from the HD GHG Phase 1 rule are shown in Table 2-30.
The MY 2014-2016 running energy rates were not adjusted for the HD GHG Phase 1 rulemaking because
the impact of Phase 1 is assumed to be included in the measurements from the MY 2014-2015/2016
vehicles sampled from the HDIUT program. Instead, we renormalized the Phase 1 GHG reductions using
the MY 2014-2016 as the baseline using Equation 2-33.
Renormalized Phase 1 reductions in yeart
1 — (reductions inyeari)
1 — (Average reductions in 2014 thru 2016) Equation 2 33
For example, the renormalized reductions for LHD and MHD in 2017-2020 are calculated as:
Renormalized Phase 1 reductions for LHD and MHD in 2017 thru 2020
1 - (9%) 91%
= 1 " 1 - (5%) = 1 " 95% = 1 " 96% = 4% 2'34
We applied the renormalized reductions to estimate the MY 2017 and later running energy rates, as shown
in Table 2-30. As discussed in Section 2.2.4, because the start energy rates were not updated with more
data from model year 2014-2016 vehicles, the reduction in energy consumption from starts due to HD
GHG Phase 1 rule was modeled by directly using the reductions estimated from the rule.

MOVES also incorporated the Medium- and Heavy-Duty GHG Phase 2 rule61 as implemented. The Phase 2
program begins in 2021 and phases in through model year 2027. The Phase 2 rule breaks the diverse truck
sectors into three distinct categories, including:
• Line haul tractors and trailers (combination trucks source types in MOVES)
• Heavy-duty pickups and vans (passenger truck and light-commercial trucks)
• Vocational trucks (buses, refuse trucks, motorhomes, single-unit trucks)
The Phase 2 Rule set separate standards for engines and vehicles and ensured improvements in both. It
also set separate standards for fuel consumption, C02, N20, CH4 and HFCs.0
Because the Phase 2 rulemaking set different standards for vocational vehicles and tractor-trailers and
because single-unit vocational vehicles and tractor-trailers are mapped to the same regulatory classes
(MHD and HHD) under the default MOVES framework for emission rates, we modeled changes in running
energy rates due to Phase 2 using the EmissionRateAdjustment table. The EmissionRateAdjustment table
includes the following data fields, many of which are shared with the EmissionRate table:

Table 2-31 summarizes the energy rate reductions stored in the EmissionRateAdjustment table which are

Thus, for LHD45, MHD, HHD and Urban Bus, the running energy rates for MY 2021 through 2027 are
estimated with a chain of calculations starting with the HDIUT-based estimates by operating mode and
regulatory class, then reduced by applying the HD GHG Phase 1 reduction in Table 2-30 and further
reduced by applying the HDGHG Phase 2 reductions listed in Table 2-31. The reductions shown in Table
2-31 reflect a combination of improvements to the engine and other systems, but exclude improvements
to aerodynamics and tire rolling resistances. The projected improvements due to aerodynamics and tire
rolling resistance are reflected in new road load coefficients as described in the Population and Activity
Report.
In MOVES5, we updated the running energy consumption rates for all HD vehicles based on the HD GHG
Phase 3 rule. We maintained the same relative energy consumption rates across operating modes as
already existed, adjusting them down according to the changes in standards.
The change in emission standards for Phase 3, relative to Phase 2, can be found in the HD Phase 3 docket
in the HD TRUCS Output Calculator.62 The changes in standards by regulatory vehicle type are presented
below in Table 2-32. Bolded rows indicate those that we used to update MOVES energy consumption rates.
All other regulatory groupings are optional or, in the case of Heavy-Haul Tractors, represent a very small
portion of the HD fleet, so we ignore them for the purposes of updating energy consumption rates in
MOVES.

We mapped every HD source type and regulatory class combination in MOVES to the Phase 3 regulatory
groupings, presented in Table 2-33. We applied the percent reductions from Table 2-32 in
EmissionRateAdjustment. Combination long-haul trucks (source type 62) are covered by the MHD All Cab
and HHD Day Cab Tractor category when they are Class 6 or Class 7 and the Sleeper Cab Tractors category
when they are Class 8.

We expect compliance with the Phase 3 standards to be achieved primarily through the adoption of
electric vehicles. Therefore, we added fleet averaging for heavy-duty energy consumption and C02
emission rates (discussed in the Emission Adjustments Report) and updated HD ZEV sales projections in
MOVES (discussed in the Vehicle Population and Activity Report). When the HD ZEV sales are combined
with the fleet averaging algorithm, the resulting change in MOVES output energy consumption and C02
emission rates for HD ICE vehicles in model year 2027 and beyond is small.
98
-------
2,1,4.3,2 LHD2b3
Energy reductions for LHD2b3 are modelled differently than for other heavy-duty vehicles. Unlike the HD
standards for tractors and vocational vehicles, the HD pickup truck/van standards are evaluated in terms of
grams of C02 per mile or gallons of fuel per 100 miles. For simplicity, we apply the diesel chassis-certified
reductions to all LHD2b3 vehicles since most of the diesel LHD2b3 vehicles are chassis-certified/ The LHD
engine-certified vehicles are subject to the light-heavy duty reductions discussed in the previous section
that are applied to LHD45 vehicles. In addition, the fuel economy of medium-duty passenger vehicles
(MDPVs) are covered by the Light-duty GHG rule.63
Because MOVES includes energy rate measurements from LHD vehicles for model years 2014-2016, we
renormalized the Phase 1 reductions starting in MY 2017 so they could be applied to the MY 2014-2016
rates using Equation 2-33. Example calculations for LHD2b3 diesel in MY 2018-2020 are provided in
Equation 2-35.

Table 2-34 describes the expected changes in C02 emissions for diesel chassis-certified LHD2b3 vehicles
due to improved engine and vehicle technologies due to the HD GHG Phase 1 program. Note that the
impacts of the HD GHG Phase 1 program on gasoline LHD2b3 energy rates are discussed in Section
3.1.3.2.1. Since nearly all HD pickup trucks and vans will be certified on a chassis dynamometer, the C02
reductions for these vehicles are not treated as separate engine and road-load reduction components, but
represented as total vehicle C02 reductions and applied to all LHD2b3 vehicles in MOVES. MOVES models
the HD pickup truck/van standards by lowering the energy rates stored in the emissionRate table. No
change is made to the road-load coefficients or weights of passenger or light-duty truck source types.
Instead, the energy consumption rates for LHD2b3 were lowered by the percentages shown in Table 2-34
for the corresponding model years.

Note that we expect the Phase 2 requirements for LHD2b3 to be met via electrification starting in MY2025.
Projected electrification rates are described in the Population and Activity Report. The modeling of
electrification on diesel exhaust emissions due to fleet averaging is described in the Emission Adjustments
Report.

We do not model any change in medium-duty vehicle energy consumption rates as a result of the HD GHG
Phase 3 rule. Instead, they are covered by the LMDV20275 rule which is discussed in the GHG and Energy
Consumption Report.
2.1.4.4 Model Year Trends
Figure 2-51 and Figure 2-52 display the C02 (g/mile) emission rates and fuel economy values calculated in
MOVES from the energy rates using the carbon content and energy density conversion factors for
conventional diesel fuel as documented in the GHG and Energy Report. The C02 (g/mile) emission rates
and fuel economy values are estimated using nationally representative operating mode distribution and
average speed values. The figures show that, since model year 2010, there are decreasing trends in C02
(g/mile) with corresponding increases in fuel economy, due to the lower MOVES energy consumption rates
as well as the lower source mass values and improved road load coefficients estimated vehicles meeting
both Phase 1 and Phase 2 Heavy-Duty Greenhouse Gas Standards. The energy rates by operating mode are
constant for model year 2027-2060. Some of the small differences in C02 (g/mile) and fuel economy values
observed within model year groups and regulatory classes are due to differences in the nationally
representative operating modes across model years as proportion of source types represented in each
regulatory class changes.

2.1.5 Evaluation of Fleet-average Running Rates with Real-World Measurements
As one evaluation of the MOVES diesel exhaust running rates, Table 2-36 compares preliminary MOVES3
emission rates estimated in fuel-specific units (g/kg-fuel) to fuel-specific emission rates estimated from a
remote sensing and tunnel measurements in calendar years 2015-2017.
Haugen et al. (2018) conducted exhaust plume measurements from 1,844 in-use heavy-duty diesel trucks
at the Peralta weigh station near Anaheim, CA in 2017, of which over 63% of the fleet were model year
2011 or later. Wang et al. (2019), conduced sampling of the Ft. McHenry Tunnel in Baltimore, MD during
winter and summer of 2015. The model year distribution of the Ft. McHenry diesel fleet was not measured.
Wang et al. (2018) estimated the heavy-duty emission factors separately from the light-duty vehicles using
a linear regression which accounted for the fraction of the fleet is composed of heavy-duty vehicles. The
emission rates from both studies are compared to MOVES emission rates estimated from a national scale
run with a preliminary version of MOVES3 conducted for calendar year 2016 for all on-road heavy-duty
diesel vehicles. No effort was made to match the vehicle operation of the studies or to match the fleet and
fuel characteristics (model year distribution, regulatory class distribution). As such, the comparison is only
intended to be a rough comparison, to assure that MOVES provide estimates that are in the range of
feasible values measured from in-use fleets.
Table 2-36 shows that CO emission factors compare quite well between the different studies. The NOx
values are comparable to the Peralta CA location, but significantly lower than the Ft. McHenry location.
THC are also below the Peralta, CA measurements. PM2.5 is lower than the Ft. McHenry estimates, but
within the standard error of the winter measurements, and close to the 95% confidence range of the
summer measurements (approximately two times the standard error). Given the expected differences in
vehicle operation and fleet composition, the comparisons increased our confidence that MOVES is
estimating representative in-use running emission factors for heavy-duty diesel vehicles.

2.2 Start Exhaust Emissions
The start process occurs when the vehicle is started and the engine is not fully warmed up. For modeling
purposes, we define start emissions as the increase in emissions due to an engine start. Operationally, we
102
-------
estimate difference in emissions between a test cycle with a cold start and the same cycle with a hot
start.0
As explained in Section 1.2, we define eight stages which are differentiated by soak time length (time
duration between engine key off and engine key on) between a cold start (> 720 minutes of soak time) and
a hot start FTP (< 6 minutes of soak time). More details on how start emission rates are calculated as a
function of soak time, can be found later in this section and in the MOVES light-duty exhaust emission rate
report.12 The impact of ambient temperature on cold starts is discussed in the Emission Adjustments
Report.
The next subsections discuss the derivation of heavy-duty diesel start emissions by pollutant and model
year group. Start emissions are currently a small contributor to total exhaust emissions from heavy-duty
diesel vehicles. No T&M or other age effects are currently applied to the diesel start emissions.
2.2.1 THC, CO, and NOx
The pre-2010 model year emissions are discussed in Section 2.2.1.1 and 2010+ model year emission rates
are discussed in Sections 2.2.1.2.
2,2,1,1 1950-2009 Model Years
For light-duty diesel vehicles, start emissions are estimated by subtracting FTP bag 3 emissions from FTP
bag 1 emissions. Bag 3 and Bag 1 are collected on the same dynamometer cycle, except that Bag 1 starts
with a cold start, and Bag 3 begins with a hot start.0 A similar approach was applied for LHD vehicles tested
on the FTP and ST01 cycles, which also have separate bags measuring cold and hot start emissions over
identical drive cycles. Data from 21 LHD diesel vehicles, ranging from model years 1988 to 2000, were
analyzed. No classifications were made for model year or age due to the limited number of vehicles. The
results of this analysis for THC, CO, and NOx are shown in Table 2-37.

For pre-2010 model year HHD and MHD trucks, analogous data were unavailable. To provide at least a
minimal amount of information, we measured emissions from a 2007 Cummins ISB which is used in both
LHD and MHD vehicles on an engine dynamometer at the EPA National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions
Laboratory in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Among other idle tests, we performed a cold start idle test at 1,100
RPM lasting four hours, long enough for the engine to warm up. Essentially, the "drive cycle" we used to
compare cold start and warm emissions was the idle cycle, analogous to the FTP and ST01 cycles used for
LHD vehicles. Emissions and temperature stabilized about 25 minutes into the test. The emission rates
Q As discussed in Section 1.2.2, ideally, bag 3 would not include a start, but only include running emissions.
Operationally, we use bag 3 with a hot-start because that is the available data, and we assume that the hot-start
emissions are small in comparison to the cold-start emissions, and thus have minimal impact on the cold-start
estimate. Our estimates of emissions by soak time in Sections 2.2.3.1 and 2.2.3.2 support this assumption; for pre-
2010, hot-start THC and CO emissions are less than 10% of the cold-start emissions, and NOx hot-start emissions are
less than 20% of cold-start emissions. For 2010+ emissions the hot-start emissions for THC, CO, and NOx are less than
1% of the cold-start emissions.

through time are shown in Figure 2-53. The biggest drop-in emission rate over the test was with CO,
whereas there was a slight increase in NOx (implying that cold start NOx is lower than running NOx), and an
insignificant change in THC.

Cummins ISB Measured on an Engine Dynamometer)
We calculated the area under each curve for the first 25 minutes and divided by 25 minutes to get the
average emission rate during the cold start idle portion. Then, we averaged the data for the warm idle
portion using the remaining portion of the test (215 minutes). We then calculated the difference between
cold start and warm idle over a 25-minute period of the elevated cold starts as shown in Equation 2-36.

The results are shown in Table 2-38. The measured THC increment is zero. The NOx increment is negative
since cold start emissions were lower than warm idle emissions.

We also considered NOx data from University of Tennessee,64 which tested 24 trucks with PEMS at
different load levels during idling. Each truck was tested with a cold start going into low-RPM idle with air-
conditioning on. We again used Equation 2-36 to integrated the emissions over the warm-up period to get
the total cold start idling emissions. We calculated the warm idling emissions by multiplying the reported
warm idling rate by the stabilization time. We used the stabilization period from our engine dynamometer
tests (25 minutes). Then, we subtracted the cold start-idle emissions from the warm idle emissions to
104
-------
estimate the cold start increment. We found that several trucks produced lower NOx emissions during cold
start (similar to our own work described above), and several trucks produced higher NOx emissions during
cold start. Due to these conflicting results, and the recognition that many factors affect NOx emission
during start (e.g., air-fuel ratio, injection timing, etc.), we set the default NOx cold-start increment to zero.
Table 2-39 shows our final MOVES inputs for HHD and MHD diesel start emissions increases from our 2007
MY in-house testing. Due to the limited data, the emission rate is constant for all pre-2010 model years
and ages.

As discussed in the Emission Adjustments Report, MOVES applies an additive adjustment to diesel THC
cold-start emissions for ambient temperatures below 72 F. Thus, despite a pre-2010 baseline THC start
emission rate of zero, MOVES estimates positive THC start emissions from heavy-duty diesel vehicles at
ambient temperatures below 72 F. No temperature adjustments are applied to CO, PM2.5, or NOx diesel
start emissions because no clear trend was found with the data.
2,2,1,2 2010-2026 Model Years
The cold start emissions for 2010 model year and later LHD, MHD, and HHD diesel engines were updated
for MOVES3 based on new data. However, because of the small sample size and lack of real-world data,
notable uncertainty about real world heavy-duty diesel start emissions remains.
Similar to the approach taken for light-duty vehicles, the cold start emissions are defined as the difference
in emissions between a test cycle with a cold start and the same test cycle with a hot start. Heavy-duty
diesel engines are certified using the Heavy-Duty Diesel Engine Federal Test Procedure (FTP) cycle65. The
test procedure for certification requires that manufacturers run the engine over the FTP cycle with a cold
start and then repeat the cycle with a warm start. Starting in model year 2016, EPA began collecting
certification data that contained separate cold and hot results for each engine certified. The data included
the following engine families from 2016 and 2017 model years shown in Table 2-40.

The certification data was used to determine the grams emitted per cold start using Equation 2-37.

-------
Grams per Start
= [Cold FTP Emission Results (g/(hp — hr))
— Hot FTP Emission Results (g/(hp — hr))] Equation 2-37
* FTP Cycle Work (hp — hr)
The amount of work (hp-hr) performed over the FTP cycle is required to convert the FTP emission results in
grams per horsepower-hour into grams, but it is not provided as part of the certification data submitted by
the manufacturers to EPA. Furthermore, the FTP cycle work is unique to each engine and is generally
calculated based on the engine's maximum speed, curb idle speed, and the maximum torque curve.
Therefore, we needed to develop a surrogate from the information that is provided by manufacturers for
certification for each engine. We determined that the rated power of an engine correlates well to the FTP
cycle work. This analysis was based on FTP cycle work and rated power data from ten HD engines. As
shown in Figure 2-54, the FTP cycle work is approximately a linear function of the engine's rated power.
For the calculation of cold start emissions for each engine analyzed, the FTP cycle work (hp-hr) was
estimated for the engine based on its rated power using the equation in Figure 2-54 - 0.0599 (hr) times the
rated power (hp) plus 4.4297 (hp-hr).

We apply the cold start THC, CO, and NOx emission rates from the 2016 MY and 2017 MY engines to all
engines MY 2010 through 2026. They are subject to the same HD diesel emission standards, and the
aftertreatment systems on these engines are similar and generally include both a diesel particulate filter
and selective catalytic reduction system.
2,2,1,2,4 Incorporation of Tier 3 Standards for Light Heavy-Duty Diesel
The Tier 3 exhaust emission standards affect light heavy-duty diesel vehicles in the LHD2b3 regulatory class
(regClassID 41). Reductions are applied to start rates for NOx only, phasing in from MY2018 to MY2021 as
previously described for running emissions in Section 2.1.1.5.5. No reductions applies to THC and CO rates.
107
-------
2,2,1,3 2027-2060 Model Years
Start emissions for THC and CO are the same for model years 2010 to 2060, but as noted in Section 2.1.1.6,
the HD2027 NOx standards include duty-cycle standards, off-cycle standards and changes to warranty and
useful life requirements. To account for the HD2027 standards, we updated NOx start emission rates to
reflect the changes in the duty-cycle standards using the method described in this section.
We did not estimate the impact of the off-cycle standard on start emissions, in part because the baseline
MY 2010 and later start emission rates in MOVES are not based on in-use data but are based on emissions
data from the FTP duty-cycle. Additionally, because the heavy-duty diesel start emission rates in MOVES do
not vary with age due to insufficient data, we did not estimate changes due to the changes in warranty and
useful life.
Because engines meeting the HD2027 standard are not yet in production, to update the NOx start emission
rates for MY2027+, we estimated the NOx cold start emission rate (g/start) from a CARB Stage 1 HDD
engine66 tested on the FTP duty-cycle cycle after different periods of use (aging). Table 2-44 contains the
NOx Cold and Hot FTP measurements in Columns (B) and (C) for different aging periods. Column (E), "Cold -
Hot," is calculated as the difference between Columns (B) and (C). The cold start, Column (F), is then
calculated by multiplying the difference in Column (E) by the work performed on the FTP cycle, Column (D),
as shown in Equation 2-38.

The Stage 1 HHD engine was deemed representative of an engine-certified to a 0.02 g/hp-hr NOx standard
based on the FTP composite measurements in Column (A). Table 2-44 demonstrates that the larger cold
start measured with increased aged hours, and after the DPF ash clean out at 1000 hours. We used the
1000 hr, Post Ash Clean cold start emission rate (3.14 g/start shown in Table 2-44) to represent the 12-
hour cold-start (operating mode 108) emission rate.
To estimate the 12-hour cold-start NOx emission rate for HHD diesel vehicles subject to the HD2027
standards, we interpolated the HHD 12-hour cold-start between the Stage 1 cold start (3.14 g/start) and
the MOVES baseline (MY2010-2026) 12-hour cold-start (8.4 g/start), and their respective FTP duty-cycle
standards using Equation 2-39 as shown in Figure 2-55 and Table 2-45. For example, the interpolation
yielded an estimated 12-hour cold start of 4.02 g/start for the 0.05 g/hp-hr FTP standard.

We assumed that the relative difference in cold start emission rates by regulatory class is the same in the
baseline and HD2027 standards. This calculation was combined with the estimate of emissions by start
operating mode and is described in Equation 2-40 in Section 2.2.3.
2.2.1.4 Model Year Summary
Figure 2-56 through Figure 2-58 display the cold start (operating mode 108) emission rates across model
years for heavy-duty diesel vehicles. The figures show the large difference in start emission rates before
and after model year 2010. Model year 2010 corresponds to the implementation of (SCR) aftertreatment,
as well as the different datasets and methodologies. The rates for LHD2b3 are lower starting in MY2018
due to the phase-in of Tier 3 standards. The HD NOx emission rates change in MY2027 due to the HD2027
rule.

2.2.2 Particulate Matter (PM2.5)
2,2,2,1 1950-2010 Model Years
Data for particulate matter start emissions from heavy-duty vehicles are limited. Typically, heavy-duty
vehicle emission measurements are performed on fully warmed up vehicles. These procedures bypass the
engine crank and early operating periods when the vehicle is not fully warmed up.
Data for model year 2009-and-earlier vehicles was only available from engine dynamometer testing
performed on one heavy heavy-duty diesel engine, using the FTP cycle with particulate mass collected on
filters. The engine was manufactured in MY 2004. The cycle was repeated six times, under both hot and
cold start conditions (two tests for cold start and four replicate tests for hot start). The average difference
in PM2.5 emissions (filter measurement - FTP cycle) was 0.11 grams. The data are shown in Table 2-46.

We use the difference between the cold start and warm start bags to represent the cold start (g/start in
MOVES.0 We applied this value to 1950 through 2006 model year vehicles. For 2007 through 2009 model
years, we applied a 90 percent reduction to account for the expected use of DPFs, leading to a
corresponding value of 0.011 g/start. The value is the same for all heavy-duty diesel regulatory classes.
As introduced in Section 2.1.2.1.8, in MOVES, the PM2.5 emission rates are estimated as the elemental
carbon (EC) and non-elemental carbon PM (nonEC). We estimated the EC and nonEC from the total PM2.5
starts rates by applying the EC/PM fraction of 46.4 percent from the PM2.5 speciation profile developed
from the idle mode of the UDDS tests from the E55/59 program for pre-2007 trucks.6 For all 2007+ trucks,
we apply the EC/PM fraction of 9.98 percent from the PM2.5 speciation profile developed from trucks
equipped with diesel particulate filters.6
2,2,2,2 2010-2060 Model Years
The cold start emissions for 2010 model year and later LHD, MHD, and HHD diesel engines were updated in
MOVES3 based on new data. We updated the cold start particulate matter emission rates based on the
certification data and data analysis methods discussed in Section 2.2.1.2. The resulting cold start emission
rates for each HD diesel engine regulatory group are shown in Table 2-47. For LHD diesel vehicles, the
certification data yielded zero PM2.5 start emissions. We attribute the zero start to the uncertainty of the
data (note the standard deviation shown in Table 2-47 is of similar magnitude to that of HHD and MHD).
Instead of using the certification test data, we used the data from MHD diesel to represent the LHD diesel
PM2.5 emission rate in MOVES, because of the overlap in engines and aftertreatment systems between the
two categories.

We are applying the new cold start PM2.5 emission rates from the model year 2016 and 2017 engines to MY
2010 and newer engines because the PM standards are the same and all the MY 2010 and later engines
generally include both a diesel particulate filter (DPF) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system.
2.2.2.3 Model Year Summary
Figure 2-58 and Figure 2-59 display the cold start (operating mode 108) emission rates across model years
for heavy-duty diesel vehicles. As expected, large reductions are shown in model year 2007 with the
implementation of diesel particulate filters. Further changes are due to the incorporation of the 2010 and
later certification data.

2.2.3 Adjusting Start Rates for Soak Time
The discussion to this point has concerned the development of rates for cold start emissions from heavy-
duty diesel vehicles. In addition, it was necessary to derive rates for additional operating modes that
113
-------
account for shorter soak times. As with light-duty vehicles, we accomplished this step by applying soak
fractions.
In the MOVES input database, operating modes for start emissions are defined in terms of soak time
preceding an engine start. The "cold-start" is defined as a start following a soak period of at least 720
minutes (12 hours) and is represented as opModelD=108. An additional seven modes are defined in terms
of soak times ranging from 3 min up to 540 min (opModelD = 101-107). Table 1-5 describes the different
start-related operating modes in MOVES as a function of soak time. The distribution of vehicle start activity
among the start operating modes is described in the MOVES Vehicle Population and Activity report.
2.2.3.1 Adjusting Start Rates for Soak Time - MY 2009 and Earlier
The soak adjustment ratios we used for THC, CO, and NOx for MY 2009 and older HD diesel vehicles are
illustrated in Figure 2-60 below. Due to limited data, we applied the same soak ratios that we applied to
1996+ MY light-duty gasoline vehicle as documented in the light-duty emission rate report.12 The soak
adjustments are taken from the non-catalyst soak adjustments derived in a CARB report67 and reproduced
in a MOBILE6 report.68

Figure 2-60. Soak Adjustment Ratios Applied to Cold-Start Emissions (opModelD = 108) to Estimate Emissions for
shorter Soak Periods (operating modes 101-107). This figure is reproduced from the Light-Duty Emissions Report12
For light heavy-duty vehicles (regulatory classes LHD2b3 and LHD45), the soak ratios apply to the cold
starts for THC, CO and NOx. For medium and heavy heavy-duty vehicles (regulatory classes MHD, HHD, and
Urban Bus), only the CO soak ratios are applied to the cold-start emissions, because the base cold start THC
and NOx emission rates for medium and heavy heavy-duty emission rates are zero (see Section 2.2.1.1).
The start emission rates entered into MOVES for 2009 and older model year heavy-duty vehicles, derived
from applying the soak ratios are displayed in Table 2-48 for THC, CO, and NOx.

2.23.2 Adjusting Start Rates for Soak Time - MY 2010 and Later
As described in the preceding section, the start rates are based on data collected from light-duty vehicles
in the 1990's. The question arose as to whether they could be considered applicable to heavy-duty diesel
vehicles with aftertreatment systems designed to meet the 2007/2010 exhaust emissions standards. To
115
-------
address this question, we initiated a research program in 2016, with the goal of examining the
relationships between soak time and start emissions for a set of heavy-duty vehicles. Two test programs
were conducted to revise the 2010 MY and later soak curves for heavy-duty diesel vehicles in MOVES3 and
later versions. The testing consisted of both chassis and onroad testing of MY 2015 and MY 2016 vehicles.
The first test program included a MY 2015 day-cab tractor with a MY 2015 HHD diesel engine tested on a
heavy-duty chassis.69 The vehicle was relatively new and had 10,000 miles on the odometer. The testing
consisted of running two repeats of a transient drive cycle developed by the National Renewable Energy
Laboratory (NREL). The vehicle speed trace is shown below in Figure 2-61. Prior to each soak test, the
vehicle was first run through two of the NREL cycles. Then the engine was shut off for a specified amount
of time to reflect the soak periods shown in Figure 2-61. At least two repeats were conducted for each
soak period. The emission measurements included dilute gaseous measurements and triplicate particulate
matter filters.

In addition to the chassis testing, onroad testing was conducted using a portable emissions measurement
system (PEMS).70 The emissions data gathered by the PEMS in this test program only included the gaseous
emissions, not PM data. A MY 2016 work van with a diesel engine was tested on the road. The vehicle was
soaked and started within a laboratory under controlled temperatures. All onroad testing occurred with
ambient temperatures over 50 degrees F. Each test began with 10 seconds of idle followed by driving a
defined "soak route." A typical vehicle speed profile from the route is shown in Figure 2-66. The route

Figure 2-69 MY 2016 Heavy-Duty Vehicle CO Emissions by Soak Time
The soak emission adjustment ratios were calculated using a multi-step process based on the chassis test
and onroad test results. First, the total emissions over the route or drive cycle were averaged for each soak
period for each pollutant (NOx, THC, CO) for each vehicle. Then the start emissions for each soak period
were determined by subtracting the average total emissions from the tests with the 3 minute soak time
from the emissions from the specific soak period. The ratios for soak period operating modes 102 through
108 were calculated based on the average start emissions of the soak period divided by the average start
emissions of the cold start (>12 hours) soak period. The soak fractions for the operating mode 101 were
determined by extrapolating the value from the operating mode 102 result using the proportional
difference in time between the midpoints of each operating mode 101 and 102 soak times. In other
words, soak fraction for operating mode 102 was multiplied by the ratio of 3 minutes divided by 18
120

minutes (the midpoint times of operating mode 101 and 102). The NOx, CO, and THC soak period ratio
results for each vehicle are shown below in Figure 2-70.

For MY2027+ vehicles subject to HD2027 standards, we used Table 2-42 to estimate the MOVES NOx
emission rates for each MOVES heavy-duty regulatory class (LHD45, MHD, and HHD), and for each MOVES
start operating mode classified by different soak times. We assumed that the relative difference in
emission rates by regulatory class and by operating mode is the same for MY2010-2026 and MY2027 and
later meeting the HD2027 standards.

below. They were updated in MOVES3 using a linear interpolation based on the new cold start data
(certification data discussed in Section 2.2.2.2) for Operating Mode 108. They are estimated by assuming a
linear decrease in emissions with time between a full cold start (>720 minutes) and zero emissions at a
short soak time (< 6 minutes). This approach is consistent with the approach taken for MY 2009 and older
vehicles, as described in Section 2.2.3.1. We did not revise the approach because we obtained PM2.5 data
for only one of the trucks and it showed mixed soak effect results.

2.2.3.3 Adjusting Start Rates for Ambient Temperature
The ambient temperature effects in MOVES are used to estimate the impact ambient temperature has on
cooling the engine and aftertreatment system on vehicle emissions. The temperature effect is the greatest
for a vehicle that has been soaking for a long period of time, such that the vehicle is at ambient
temperature. Accordingly, the impact of ambient temperature should be less for vehicles that are still
warm from driving. The Emission Adjustments Report discusses the impact of ambient temperature on
cold start emission rates (operating mode 108). The ambient temperature effects for starts with warm and
hot soaks (operating mode 101-107) are documented below and recorded in the MOVES
startTempAdjustment table.
Because the THC temperature effects in MOVES are modeled as additive adjustments, the adjustment
calculated for cold starts needs to be reduced for warm and hot starts. Due to lack of data, we multiply the
soak fractions described earlier in Figure 2-60 for pre-2007 trucks by the additive cold temperature effect
for the 12-hour cold start (operating mode 108) to obtain cold start temperature adjustments for the
warm and hot soaks starts (operating mode 101 through 107) for all model years.R The additive cold start
adjustment for THC emission factors are displayed in Table 2-52, along with the soak fractions applied.
These additive THC starts are applied to all diesel sources in MOVES, including light-duty diesel (regulatory
class LDV and LDT). There are currently no diesel temperature effects in MOVES for PM2.5, CO, and NOx.
R The temperature effects from pre-2010 technology engines are applied to all model years. We hope to update the
temperature effects by operating mode for 2010 and later model year vehicles in future version of MOVES using the
data from 2010 and later engines.

2.2.4 Start Energy Rates
The start energy rates (in units of kJ) were developed for MOVES200471, and updated in MOVES2010 as
documented in the MOVES2010a energy updates report.57 Figure 2-72 displays the cold starts in grams of
C02 emissions calculated from the energy rates using the carbon content for conventional diesel fuel as
documented in the MOVES3 Greenhouse Gas and Energy Report.
As shown, there is more detail in the pre-2000 energy rates. The spike in C02 g/startfor model years 1984-
1985 reflects variability in the data used to derive starts, which was consistent with the more detailed
approach used to derive the pre-2000 energy rates in MOVES2004. The only updates to the start energy
rates post-2000 is the impact of the Phase 1 Heavy-Duty GHG standards, which began phase-in in 2014 and
have the same reductions as the running energy rates as presented in Table 2-30 and Table 2-34. It is
worth noting that unlike the Phase 1 HD GHG standards, the technologies projected for meeting the Phase
2 HD GHG standards are not expected to have an impact on start energy rates. Therefore, the start energy
rates are constant after MY 2018 (the first year of full phase-in of the HD Phase 1 rule).

The energy rates for heavy-duty starts have not been updated due to relatively small contribution the
starts have to the energy inventory. Table 2-54 displays the relative contribution of total energy
consumption estimated from a national run of MOVES for calendar year 2016, using a draft version of
MOVES3 developed for the proposed Clean Trucks Rule.72 As shown, the estimated energy consumed due
to starts is very small in comparison to the energy use of running activity.

2.3 Extended Idling Exhaust Emissions
In the MOVES model, extended idling is idle operation characterized by long duration idle periods (e.g., > 1
hours), typically overnight, including higher engine speed settings and extensive use of accessories by the
vehicle operator. Extended idling most often occurs during rest periods by long-haul trucking operators
where the truck is used as a residence (sometimes referred to as "hotelling"). Operators idle to power
accessories such as air conditioning systems or heating systems. Heavy-duty engine and truck
manufacturers recommend trucks not idle at low engine speeds for extended periods, because it can
"create engine wear and carbon soot buildup in the engine and components."73 Additionally, idling for
extended periods allows the vehicle's exhaust to cool below the effective temperature required for
emission aftertreatment systems in modern trucks such as selective reduction catalysts and diesel
oxidation catalysts. As a result, extended idle is treated as a separate emission process in MOVES which
uses a different emission rate than the idling that occurs during the running emission process.
Extended idling does not include vehicle idle operation that occurs during normal road operation, such as
idling at a traffic signal or the "off-network" idle that might occur during a delivery. Although frequent
stops and idling can contribute to overall emissions, these modes are included in the normal vehicle hours
of operation. Extended idling is characterized by idling periods that last hours rather than minutes.
In the MOVES model, long-haul combination trucks (sourceTypelD 62) is the only source type assumed to
have extended idling activity. These trucks are only associated with MHD, HHD and Glider1 regulatory
classes. As an alternative to extended idling, long-haul truck operators can also use auxiliary power units
(APUs) or plug into facility's power (shore power) to power their cabin and accessories during hotelling.
s The default hotelling activity in MOVES3 is estimated from telematics data in which all idle events with duration
greater than one hr from long-haul combination trucks are assigned to extended idling.
T Glider extended idle emission rates are documented in Section 2.5.
126
-------
The emission rates for auxiliary power units (APUs) are discussed in Section 2.4, and the energy
consumption rates for shore power are discussed in the Greenhouse Gas and Energy Consumption
technical report.
Extended idle emission rates for THC, CO, NOx and PM2.5 were updated in MOVES3 for all model years.
Energy rates were updated for 2007 and later model years. Separate analyses were conducted using
different data sets to derive extended idle emission rates for pre-2007 (Section 2.3.1) and 2007 and later
long-haul combination trucks (Section 2.3.2). For each range of model years, MOVES applies different data
and assumptions regarding the impact of accessory use, frequency of high idle engine speed, and impacts
of tampering and mal-maintenance to calculate extended idle emission rates.
2.3.1 1950-2006 Model Years
The MOVES extended idling emission rates for pre-2007 model years were derived from data collected in
several distinct test programs under different types of idle conditions. For MOVES3 and later versions,
weightings were adjusted from those in previous versions of MOVES to better account for new information
on typical extended idling engine idling speeds and loads. These adjustments are described below in
Section 2.3.1.2. Appendix D summarizes the data and calculations for the pre-2007 model years.
2,3,1,1 Data Sources
The references included in this section provide more detailed descriptions of the data and how the data
were obtained:
• Testing was conducted on 12 heavy-duty diesel trucks and 12 transit buses in Colorado by
McCormick et al.74 Ten of the trucks were Class 8 heavy-duty semi-tractors, one was a
Class 7 truck, and one of the vehicles was a school bus. The school bus data was not used
to calculate extended idle rates. The model years ranged from 1990 through 1998. Typical
Denver area wintertime diesel fuel was used in all tests. Idle measurements were collected
during a 20-minute time period. All testing was done at 1,609 meters above sea level (high
altitude).
• Testing was conducted by EPA on five trucks in May 2002 (Lim et al.).75 The model years
ranged from 1985 through 2001. The vehicles were put through a battery of tests including
a variety of idling conditions.
• A total of 63 trucks (nine in Tennessee, 12 in New York and 42 in California) were tested
over a battery of idle test conditions including with and without air conditioning (Irick et
al.).76 Not all trucks were tested under all conditions. Only results from the testing in

• The California test data was collected on 42 diesel trucks in parallel with roadside smoke
opacity testing (Lambert)77. All tests conducted by the California Air Resources Board
(CARB) at a rest area near Tulare, California in April 2002 are described in the Lambert77
Clean Air Study. All analytical equipment for all testing at all locations was operated by
Clean Air Technologies.
• Fourteen trucks were tested as part of the E-55/59 Coordinating Research Council (CRC)
study of heavy-duty diesel trucks with idling times either 900 or 1,800 seconds long.78
• The National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP)79 obtained the idling
portion of continuous sampling during transient testing to determine idling emission rates
on two trucks.

• A total of 33 heavy-duty diesel trucks were tested in an internal study by the City of New
York (Tang et al.)80. The model years ranged from 1984 through 1999. One hundred
seconds of idling were added at the end of the WVU five-mile transient test driving cycle.
• A Class 8 Freightliner Century with a 1999 engine was tested using EPA's onroad emissions
testing trailer based in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina (Brodrick).81 Both short (10
minute) and longer (five hour) measurements were made during idling. Some testing was
also done on three older trucks.
• Five heavy-duty trucks were tested for particulate and NOx emissions under a variety of
conditions at Oak Ridge Laboratories (Storey et al.).82 These are the same trucks used in
the EPA study (Lim et al.).
• The University of Tennessee (Calcagno et al.) tested 24 1992 through 2006 model year
heavy-duty diesel trucks using a variety of idling conditions including variations of engine
idle speed and load (air conditioning).64
2,3,1,2 Analysis
We used the data sources referenced above to estimate the emission rates for particulate matter (PM2.5),
oxides of nitrogen (NOx), hydrocarbons (THC), carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (C02). The data
were grouped by truck and bus and by idle speed and accessory usage to develop emission rates
representative of extended idle emissions.
The important conclusion from the analysis was that truck operator behavior plays an important role when
assigning emission rates to periods of extended idling. Factors such as accessory use and engine idle speed,
which are controlled by operators, affect engine load and emission rates during extended idling. The
impacts of other factors, such as engine size, altitude, model year within MOVES groups, and test cycle are
negligible.
We first evaluated the studies on engine idle speed. NREL's review of owner's manuals found that several
heavy-duty engine manufacturers recommend use of fast idle (> 1000 rpm) if the engine needs to idle for
extended periods.83 In a 2004 UC-Davis survey (Lutsey et al. 2004), respondents' average engine idle speed
was 866 rpm, with small peaks around 650 and 1000 rpm.84 About one-third of the respondents indicated
they changed their idle speed from its usual setting, which is consistent with the distribution of the
responses where about one-third of the idle engine speeds reported were 1000 rpm or faster. A 2015
study by Hoekzema (2015)85 suggested that even fewer trucks operated in a high idle condition. Drivers
surveyed for this study reported high idle operation (> 1000 rpm) just 18 percent of the time during idling
periods of an hour or more. Additionally, Hoekzema (2015) cited similar studies representing 764 trucks
that averaged engine speeds of 886 rpm during extended idle. Therefore, in MOVES3 and later versions,
we reduced the amount of high idle from 100 percent assumed in MOVES2014 to 33 percent, to better
match the references noted above.
The use of accessories (e.g., air conditioners, heaters, televisions, etc.) provides recreation and comfort to
the operator and increases load on the engine. There is also a tendency to increase idle speed during long
idle periods for engine durability. The emission rates estimated for the extended idle in MOVES assume
both accessory use and engine idle speeds set higher than used for "curb" (non-discretionary) idling. We
classify the extended idling that does not employ high speed idle without additional auxiliary loads as "curb
idle."
Emissions data from the references in the data sources section (2.3.1.1) was classified into one of three
idle conditions. The first condition, which has a low engine speed (<1,000 rpm) and no air conditioning is
128
-------
representative of curb idle. The second condition is representative of extended idle with higher engine
speed (>1,000 rpm) and no air conditioning. The third represents an extended idle condition with higher
engine speed (>1,000 rpm) and air conditioning. For the purpose of this analysis, the load placed on the
engine due to air conditioning is assumed to represent all forms of accessory load that may be used during
hotelling.
Note that some of the idle tests are of short duration. We believe it is reasonable to classify the short-
duration tests as curb idle in our calculations of extended idle emissions. We are using the short-duration
idle tests from the pre-2007 MY vehicles because idle emissions stabilize more quickly than later model
years because the pre-2007 vehicles lack the emission aftertreatment technologies that can lose
effectiveness as exhaust cools during longer idle periods.
For 1990 and earlier, we developed curb idle emission rates based on the analysis of the 18 heavy-duty
diesel trucks from 1975-1990 model years used in the CRC E-55/59 study and one MY 1985 truck from the
Lim study. The curb idle rates were then adjusted using ratios from 1991-2006 trucks to estimate the
elevated NOx emission rates characteristic of higher engine speed and accessory loading of extended idle.
In particular, as summarized in the tables in Appendix D, data from 188 vehicles were used to estimate
curb idle NOx emission rates for 1991-2006 model year heavy-duty diesel trucks. The curb idle NOx
emission rate of 91 g/hr was calculated by weighting the average NOx emission rate from each test by the
number of vehicles tested. Four studies and results from 31 vehicles included higher idle engine speed and
air conditioner use, which resulted in a weighted idle NOx emission rate of 227 g/hr. The ratio of the 1991-
2006 MY NOx emission rate from curb idle to idle with high engine speed and A/C was applied to the 1990
and earlier model year curb idle rate to get the calculated 1990 and earlier NOx emission rate with high
engine speed and A/C. A similar strategy was applied to the THC, CO, and C02 emission rates for 1990 and
earlier model years.
For both the MY 1950-1990 and 1991-2006 vehicles, using the data summarized in Appendix E, adjusted
emission rates were calculated for each pollutant by weighting the overall "high speed idle, A/C on" results
by 0.33 and the "low speed idle, A/C off" (i.e., curb idle) results by 0.67 to account for the fraction of idling
at high and low engine speeds.
The NOx, THC, CO, and PM2.5 emission rates from this data analysis are primarily from diesel HHD trucks. In
MOVES2014, we calculated the MHD extended idle emission rates as half of the corresponding HHD
emission rates. However, a study by Khan et al. (2009)86 found that MHD and HHD trucks had similar
emission rates during extended idle. Consequently, MOVES applies the same extended idle emissions rates
to MHD and HHD, as shown in Table 2-55.
MOVES stores PM2.5 emission rates according to elemental carbon (EC) and non-elemental carbon
(NonECPM), but the data sources used to calculate the extended idle emission rates reported only total
PM2.5. As mentioned in Section 2.1.2.1.8, an EC/PM fraction of 46.4 percent is applied for the running
exhaust idle operating mode (opModelD 1), and we also apply it to extended idle. The resulting EC and
NonECPM rates are also shown in Table 2-55.
No adjustment to the rates are made to account for tampering and mal-maintenance (T&M) because the
pre-2007 trucks do not have the exhaust aftertreatment technologies that are anticipated to see large
emission increases when they are tampered or mal-maintained. While the 188 trucks used for these
estimates may not fully represent real-world emission deterioration, they do include real-world vehicles at
129
-------
a variety of ages and conditions and thus it would be "double-counting" to apply the exhaust running T&M
effects to these rates.

2.3.2 2007-2026 Model Years
The extended idle emission rates for model years 2007 to 2026 are based on the following data sources
and analysis.
2,3,2,1 Data Sources
The extended idle emission rates for model year 2007 and later heavy-duty diesel combination long-haul
trucks (sourceTypelD 62) diesel emission rates in MOVES are based on two test programs measuring
extended idle emissions from HHD diesel trucks. The Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) tested extended
idle emission from 15 heavy-duty diesel tractors ranging from model year 2005u to 2012.87 Another study
conducted by California Air Resources Board (ARB)88 tested five tractors (engine model years 2007 and
2010). As discussed in the analysis section (Section 2.3.2.2), the four MY 2005 and 2006 engines included in
the TTI study are included in the development of the 2007 and later model year emission rates for THC,
CO, NOx, and energy because there is no noticeable differences in the emission rate for these model years
from comparable MY 2007 and later engines. For PM2.5, these engines are only used for comparison and to
develop T&M adjustment factors.
The study (TTI or ARB), engine model year, engine manufacturer, odometer, the NOx certification level,
California Clean Idle certification, and engine aftertreatment are listed for each of the trucks in Table 2-56.
The last three columns in Table 2-56 are taken from the California Executive Order certification database.89
NOx certification level (g/bhp-hr) is the standard to which the engine was certified. Some 2010 and later
engines were certified above the 0.2 g/bhp-hr NOx 2010 federal standard due to the emissions averaging,
banking and trading (ABT) program, and EPA allowance of nonconformance penalty (NCP) engines in
2012.90 In these cases, the family emission limit for which the vehicle was certified is reported in Table
2-56. California Clean Idle Certification was implemented in 2008 and allows engines that are certified to a
30 g/hr idle NOx standard to idle beyond the 5-minute idle limit initiated in 2008 in California. The
aftertreatment column in Table 2-56 indicates whether the engine was certified with an oxidation catalyst
(OC), diesel particulate filter or periodic trap oxidizer (DPF), and/or selective catalytic reduction (SCR)
system.
u Although 2005-2006 model year engine data was available at the time of the MOVES3 MY 2007+ analysis, we lacked
the time and resources to incorporate them into the pre-2007 emission rates.

The 15 trucks from the TTI program were tested in an environmental chamber under hot and cold
conditions to represent summer conditions in Houston, TX and winter conditions in the Dallas-Fort Worth
area. The test data we used in this analysis were the measurements taken after a twelve-hour soak, where
the vehicle had idled for at least one hour, and the vehicle had reached a 'stabilized' idling condition. The
vehicles were tested at the engine load required to run the heater or air conditioning under the cold winter
or hot summer conditions (see Table 2-57) but were not commanded to be in the high idle state.
While the TTI tests included idling after different soak lengths and 'commanded high idle' for engines
capable of idling with an engine speed approximately 400 rpm higher than their standard idle speed, we
decided not to use the 'commanded high idle' emission rates for several reasons:
131
-------
• Six of the fifteen TTI trucks were not able to be commanded into high idle.
• The 'stabilized' idling emission tests did contain some high idle that appears representative
of automatic engine control strategies for 2007 and later trucks. Two of the trucks included
high idle during the winter stabilized tests due to automatic engine control strategies. We
assume that for 2007 and later technology trucks, operators and manufacturers rely on
automatic engine control strategies rather than the vehicle operators to employ high idle
conditionsv. Because most of the engines did not use high engine speeds to power the
heater/air conditioner during the winter/summer conditions, we assume this engine
operation of MY 2007 and later trucks is also representative of in-use operation.
• The emissions impact of "commanded" high idle versus stabilized idle was not as
pronounced as observed in the pre-2007 trucks. For the TTI study, the high idle NOx rates
were only ~36 percent higher than the stabilized emission rates. By using the stabilized
emission rates, we are using emission rates that are not much different than the
"commanded" high idle emission rates.
For these reasons, the summer and winter stabilized conditions were deemed to be the best estimate of
real-world extended idle emissions. The 'stabilized' idle emission rates (g/hr) for the winter and summer
conditions, are reported in Figure 2-73 through Figure 2-77.

ARB tested five trucks on a chassis dynamometer on the ARB HHDDT 4-mode cycle, reporting the g/hr
results from the 10-minute 'Idle' mode. Before testing the 'Idle' mode, the vehicle was first warmed on a
pre-conditioning cycle, and then soaked for 10-20 minutes.91 Additional test conditions were not reported
by ARB, but we assumed that the ARB vehicles were tested at moderate temperatures, with no auxiliary
loading. Thus, we treated the ARB data as more representative of an extended idling truck that did not
require significant A/C or heating system auxiliary loading on the engine, where the extended idling
occurred shortly after active driving by the main engine.
2.3.2.2 Analysis
In developing the extended idle emission rates, we averaged the emission rate from each of the tests,
within model year ranges that represent engine and aftertreatment technology groups that have similar
impacts on extended idle emissions. Where possible, we used all 35 tests (15 trucks x 2 conditions = 30 TTI
tests, and 5 ARB tests). Because there were more TTI tests, the average within each model year group is
weighted significantly towards the TTI tests. We chose to weight each test equally, because we believe the
TTI data are more representative of real-world extended idle conditions, because they were tested with
auxiliary loads at non-standard 'lab' temperatures.
The individual test results and the average emission rates by model year group are presented in the
following figures (Figure 2-73 to Figure 2-77). Within each figure, the tests are distinguished according to
vAs discussed earlier, our assumptions for pre-2007 trucks are different.
132
-------
the test condition - 'hot' and 'cold' conditions represent the tests from the TTI test program; 'lab' test
condition are the tests from the ARB test program. Additionally, we indicate if the test was from a truck
equipped with SCR or not, which we found was the most useful aftertreatment classifier to determine
engine model year groups.
For C02, CO, and NOx, we do not model any increase in emissions to account for deterioration, including
tampering, of the engines or emission control systems, because we did not observe strong effects of the
emission control on the extended idle emission rates for these pollutants - the aftertreatment technology
(oxidation catalyst, selective catalytic reduction systems) may not be fully functional during the extended
idle conditions, due to lower exhaust temperature occurring at extended idle. On the other hand, for THC
and PM2.5 emissions, we adjust the model year group emission rates to account for deterioration of the
aftertreatment systems, as discussed in more detail below.
Figure 2-73 displays the C02 individual test results. No trend with respect to aftertreatment or model year
is observed (nor was one expected). The emissions from cold tests tend to be higher than the hot tests,
which are both higher than the ARB laboratory tests. Two of the cold tests have extended idle emission
rates > 10,000 g/hr which is likely due to higher engine rpm for these engines during the cold tests. TTI
observed that some engines have an engine control strategy, termed "cold ambient protection," which
increases the idle engine speed at cold temperature to warm the coolant temperature and protect against
engine wear. We calculated an average C02 extended idle emission rate for all 2007 and later trucks by
using all the data and treating each test equally across all model years.
The C02 extended idle emission rate is used to derive the energy and fuel consumption extended idle rate
of 97,084 kJ/hr and 0.71 gallons-diesel/hr, respectively. We used the conversion factor of 0.0736 g C02/kJ
and 10,045 g C02/gallon from B3.4 biodiesel (3.4% percent biodiesel blend) highway diesel reported from
the MOVES GHG and Energy Report.

Within "condition," "hot" refers to the summer conditions from the TTI tests, "cold" refers to the winter
conditions from TTI, and "lab" refers to the laboratory tests conducted by ARB. For SCR, 0 means the truck
does not have a selective catalytic reduction system (SCR), and 1 means the truck has SCR.
Figure 2-74 displays the CO individual test results. No trend is observed with respect to model year or use
of aftertreatment. The laboratory ARB tests are lower than the TTI tests, which could be due to the lower
fuel consumption of the tests. The CO emission rate is slightly lower than the emission rate for 1990-2006
MY of 55 g/hr. Similar to C02, a single average emission rate is calculated for all the tests results and is
applied to all 2007 and later model years.

Figure 2-75 displays the NOx individual test results. We initially expected the data to show a decrease in the
extended idle emission rates beginning in MY 2008 to account for the California Clean Idle Certification (all
MY 2008 and later trucks were clean-idle certified). However, no reduction was observed. We also
expected to observe a decrease in 2012, with the full implementation of SCR, but this was also not the
case. Therefore, we calculated average NOx emission rates for two model year groups (2005-2009) and
(2010-2026) as represented by a solid line in Figure 2-75. The MY 2005-2009 rates calculated in this
analysis are applied to the 2007-2009 model years. Given the variability of the data, the 2007-2009
average rate of 100 g/hr compares well to the MY 1991-2006 rate of 136 g/hr shown in Figure 2-78.

Figure 2-76 displays the THC individual test results. The results are displayed with the SCR aftertreatment,
rather than according to the use of an oxidation catalyst aftertreatment. The use of SCR corresponded
better to THC emissions than the reported use of an oxidation catalyst. We believe the SCR aftertreatment
classification is a surrogate for the combined engine control and aftertreatment system used with SCR
equipped trucks that have a large impact on THC emissions. For example, with the use of SCR, engines can
be calibrated to run leaner, which reduces engine-out THC emissions. Additionally, SCR systems rely on
oxidation catalysts, or catalyzed DPFs to convert NO to N02, which also reduces the THC tailpipe emissions.
We calculated average emission rates for three model year groups 2005-2009, 2010-2012 and 2013 and
later model years. The 2005-2009 model year vehicles include a combination of DPF and non-DPF
equipped trucksw and are used to represent the 2007-2009 emission rates in MOVES. The 2010-2012
represents DPF equipped trucks, with some penetration of SCR equipped trucks. The model year group
representing 2013 and later model years was developed because starting in 2013, Navistar began certifying
a heavy heavy-duty diesel (HHDD) engine equipped with SCR aftertreatment. In 2014 and 2015, Navistar
and all other engine manufacturers certified all their HHDD engines equipped with SCR aftertreatment.92
Therefore, emission rate for the 2013+ model year group was estimated by averaging the rates of all the
SCR equipped trucks in the data set, even though the dataset did not include any data on 2013 and later
model year engines.
w The 2005-2009 THC rates here are ~3 times smaller than the THC rates for MY 1990-2006 derived in Section 2.3.1.2,
which may be due to the small sample size of overlapping model year vehicles (3 MY 2005-2006 trucks) in the TTI
study.

Figure 2-77 displays the PM2.5 individual test results. The ARB tests reported zero emission or "Not
Reported due to PM collection failure" for the five ARB tests, and thus, only the TTI data was used to
develop the PM2.5 extended idle emission rates. For the same reasons provided for the THC results, the use
of an SCR-equipped engine and aftertreatment systems should also have a significant impact on the PM2.5
emissions. Additionally, and as expected, the implementation of diesel particulate filters starting in 2007
model year had a significant impact on the PM2.5 emissions.
We grouped the individual emission tests into four model year groups: 2005-2006 (pre-DPF), 2007-2009
(DPF, pre-SCR), 2010-2012 (DPF and phase-in of SCR) and 2013 and later model years (SCR only). Because
the MY 2005-2006 PM2.5 emission rates are significantly different than the MY 2007-2009 emission rates,
they are grouped separately. The 2005-2006 rates from this study are not used to update the pre-2007
PM2.5 emission rates.x The other model years and aftertreatment groups are used to estimate the MOVES
emission rates for MY 2007 and later. As for THC, we used the results from the 2010 and later SCR
equipped trucks to calculate PM2 5 emission rate for the 2013 and later model year group.
x The MY 2005-2006 PM2.5 emission rates measured from the TTI data are only ~3 times higher than the MY 2007-
2009 PM2.5 rates, and roughly ~10 times smaller than the PM2.5 rates for MY 1990-2006 (2.5 g/hr). We would expect a
larger decrease in PM2.5 emission rates with the use of DPF as discussed in Section 2.3.3. Differences could be due to
PM sampling methods, or variation in the truck emissions given the small sample size of 2005-2006 model year trucks
in the TTI study. As mentioned above, we did not update the pre-2007 PM2.5 emission rates in MOVES with
information from the TTI dataset due to limitations on time and resources.

PM2.5 emission rates in MOVES are composed of elemental carbon (EC) and non-elemental carbon PM
(nonEC). The TTI study measured total PM2.5 emissions, but not EC. We used the EC/PM fractions from the
sources listed in Table 2-58 to estimate the EC and PM2.5 emission rates.

2.3.2.3 Tampering and Mal-maintenance
As discussed in Section 2.3.1.2, we did not incorporate tampering and mal-maintenance effects on the pre-
2007 extended idle rates. For the 2007 and later extended idle rates, we incorporated the effects of the
effect of tampering and mal-maintenance (T&M) for two reasons:
1. The twenty vehicles used to estimate the extended idle emission rates did not appear to
include any tampered or mal-maintained vehicles with elevated emission rates. In
addition, 14 of the 20 vehicles had odometer readings with less than 100,000 miles (Table
2-56).
Y The pre-2007 EC/PM ratio for extended idling has subsequently been updated in MOVES3 to be 46.4% as discussed
in Section 2.3.1, but it was not updated for this analysis.
137
-------
2. The 2007 and later technology includes aftertreatment technology, including diesel
oxidation catalysts (DOC) and diesel particulate filters (DPF). We anticipate that the failure
of these after-treatment systems would significantly increase extended idle emissions if
they were tampered or mal-maintained.
We incorporated the T&M effects for extended idle exhaust using different data and methodology than
was used to derive the tailpipe exhaust emission rates for two reasons:
1. Extended idle emissions in MOVES are stored in the EmissionRate table, and are not
distinguished by vehicle age, as the running and start exhaust emission factors. To fit the
current MOVES structure, we incorporated the effects of T&M into a single emission rate
by model year that applies to all vehicle ages.
2. We are less confident in the application of the emission effects of T&M failures estimated
for running emissions in Appendix B to extended idling emission. For example, we do not
think failure of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) aftertreatments systems should impact
extended idling NOx emission rates as much as running exhaust emissions because the SCR
systems is not fully operational during long idling periods. Instead, we estimated the
effects of T&M on 2007 and later extended idle emissions using pre-2007 extended idle
emissions as surrogate values for 2007 and later extended idle emission with failed
aftertreatment systems.2
As shown in the figures above, the THC and PM2.5 emissions showed the largest reductions in extended idle
emissions with newer model year vehicles. We believe that the reductions are due primarily to the
continued effectiveness of the catalyzed diesel particulate filter even during extended idling conditions.
For the MOVES extended idle THC and PM2.5 emission rates, we included an estimate of the impact of
deterioration and failure of the diesel particulate filters in calculating the 2007-2009, 2010-2012, and
2013+ model year group emission rates as discussed in Appendix C, and displayed in Table 2-59. As shown,
the MOVES EC/PM emission rates for MY 2007+ trucks are slightly higher than the 'Baseline' EC/PM
fractions in Table C-2, because the fleet emissions are assumed to include some emission contribution
from trucks with failed DPFs, which have a higher EC/PM fraction.
To account for the failure of DPF in the THC and PM2.5 emission rates, we used the 2005-2006 average
extended idle emission rates to represent the 'failed' DPF emission rates. We then calculated a
'Deteriorated' emission rate that represents a mix of failed and properly operating systems by assigning
the 'failed' DPF emission rates a weight of 10 percent in the 2007-2009 model year group, and 5 percent
weight in the 2010-2012, and 2013+ model year groups, as shown in Table 8 2. The 'Deteriorated' emission
rate represents the presumed emission rate of fully-aged heavy-duty diesel trucks. Unlike the start and
running MOVES emission rates, extended idle emission rates in MOVES are not distinguished by age. Thus,
these rates are constant with respect to age.
z Starting in MY 2027, these vehicles have NOx emission standards for idle operation. Thus, we may reconsider this
approach in a future version of MOVES.

2,3,2,4 MHD Regulatory Class
The extended idle emission rates for MHD are assumed to be the same as HHD for the following two
reasons. First, MHD trucks are estimated to account for only five percent of long-haul combination trucks
in the US and therefore, they are a minor contributor to the emissions from extended idling trucks. Second,
Khan et al. 200994 evaluated extended idle emission rates of pre-2007 MHD engines and did not observe a
pronounced difference in extended idle emission rates between MHD and HHD trucks. Taken together,
these imply that any difference in emissions modeled with unique MHD extended idling rates would be
minimal, so without any extended idling data on 2007 and later model year MHD trucks, we felt it was
most defensible to keep the MHD emission rates the same as the HHD emission rates.
2.3.3 2027-2060 Model Years
For MY2027 and later vehicles subject to HD2027 standards, we anticipate that reductions in the HHD and
MHD NOx extended idle emissions rates will be driven by the idle standard, rather than the duty-cycle
standards in the rule. The duty-cycle standards do not contain high duration extended idling (> 1 hour) that
is representative of truck hotelling activity. We did not estimate any change in extended idle emission rates
due to the lengthened warranty or useful life periods because MOVES extended idle rates do not vary by
age.
To calculate the effects of the new standard, we estimated extended idle emission rates that would comply
with the off-cycle NOx/C02 g/kg standard calculated in Table 2-13. We then used Equation 2-25 to calculate
the extended idle off-cycle NOx g/hr emission rate based on the MOVES extended idle C02 g/hr emission
rate, as shown in Table 2-60.

2.3.4 Model Year Trends
Figure 2-78 through Figure 2-81 illustrate the extended idle emission rates for regClasslDs 46 and 47.
139
-------
As shown, the NOx and the CO extended idle emission rates have a relatively small decrease between the
pre-2007 and the 2007+ model years. For THC and PM2.5, we observe large decreases starting in MY 2007,
which is consistent with our understanding of the effect of diesel particulate filters. We observed a
decrease by ~29 times in extended idle PM2.5 rates between the pre-2007 and post-2007 extended idle
rates corresponding to the implementation of the DPFs, which is consistent with the ~27 times decrease in
PM2.5 running exhaust emission rates from PM2.5 certification data as discussed in Section 2.1.2.2.
Extended idle rates for NOx decrease in MY 2027 due to the HD2027 rule, but other pollutant rates remain
unchanged.

measurement system. The PM mass was measured using a BG-3 partial flow dilution and filter sampling
system. Limitations of the TTI study are discussed in the HD GHG Phase 2 MOVES documentation.101AA
The second study used to update APU emission rates was by Frey and Kuo (2009),96 who tested two APU
systems (APU ID 2 and 3), equipped with 2006 Kubota Z482 engines. The APU systems were tested at a
range of electric output loads to obtain the fuel consumption relationship with the electric power
demands, and the fuel-based emission rates. The study measured the in-use APU electric loads from a fleet
of 20 vehicles (10 trucks equipped with each APU system) for over a year. They then used the relationship
between electric power demand and the fuel-based emission factors with the average energy use of the
APU system to estimate average APU (g/hr) emission rates of C02, CO, NOx, THC, and PM for both a mild
temperature (50-68C F) scenario and a high temperature (lOOf F+) scenario. Frey and Kuo 2009 reported a
PM emission rate, but the emission rate is 'inferred from the literature' because their PM measurements
were semi-qualitative.
An additional two studies were used as a source of data to compare and evaluate the APU emission rates
obtained from the studies mentioned above. TTI 201297 conducted testing of two APU systems using their
environmental chamber at both lOOf F and Of F. The APU systems (APU 4 and 5) manufacturer, engine
make and model year were maintained confidential in the report. Storey et al. 200398 tested a Pony Pack
APU System (APU ID 6), equipped with a Kubota Z482 engine, in an environmental chamber at both 90f F
and Of F. This is one of the studies used by Frey and Kuo 200996 to determine the PM emission factor for
the APU's tested in their study. The engine year, engine displacement, and engine power were not
reported in the TTI 2012 and Storey et al. 2003 studies. For this reason, these studies were used only as
comparative data sets.

Table 2-63 contains the in-use emission rates measured from reviewed APU systems. As shown, the
emission and fuel rates for the APUs measured in the TTI 2014, and Frey and Kuo 2009 (APU ID 1, 2 and 3)
compare well with the APU emission rates reported from TTI 2009 Storey et al. 2003 (APU ID 4, 5, and 6).
AA Problems in testing meant only one of the APU systems could be used. Additionally, PM composition (EC/PM
fraction) was measured on tests with errors in the exhaust flow measurement. The PM emission rates determined
invalid for these tests were excluded and repeated, but the PM composition measurements from these tests were
considered valid and were not repeated.
144
-------
The impact of the DPF is clearly shown on the PM emission rates from APU ID 1, as expected. However,
there does not appear to be a substantial impact of the DPF on the gaseous emissions (C02, CO, NOx, and
THC). Additionally, no notable emission effects are observed with respect to the nonroad emission
standard tier or engine model year.
The impact of ambient temperature can be observed within individual studies. For APU ID 2 and 3, the C02,
and fuel consumption are higher at the hot ambient temperatures compared to the mild conditions, which
is expected. However, there is no consistent trend between hot and cold conditions, when the APU is
required to either cool or heat the tractor cabin. For APU ID 1 and 4, the cold temperatures had higher C02
emissions and fuel use. For APU ID 5 and 6, the hotter temperatures had higher C02 emissions and fuel
use.
For CO, NOx, THC, and PM there are conflicting trends with respect to ambient temperature. For APU 2 and
3, NOx and PM emissions are higher at the hot conditions compared to mild conditions, consistent with the
higher fuel use. However, CO shows lower emissions at hot conditions, and THC shows a mixed trend. For
the other studies, there is no consistent trend between the hot and cold conditions.

Next, we calculated a fleet-average APU emission rate. Similar to our treatment of the extended idle
emission rates, we equally weighted the different ambient conditions. For APUs, we weighted each
ambient condition (Cold, Hot, and Mild) equally in developing the fleet-average emission rate shown in
Table 2-66.
We estimated elemental carbon (EC) fraction of PM from composition measurements made on APU ID 1 as
reported in Appendix J. For each test, we calculated the elemental carbon/total carbon ratio, and then
averaged the ratio across all cold and hot tests, separately for the DPF and the non-DPF tests as shown in
Table 2-65. We assumed that total carbon (TC) is a reasonable approximation of the total PM2.5 emissions
from the APU, and we used the EC/TC ratio from the non-DPF tests as the source of the EC/PM fraction to
derive the EC and nonEC emission rates in Table 2-66.

users specify APU usage in years previous to 2010, it will use the 2010-2020 APU emission rate.
2.5 Glider Vehicle Emissions
"Glider vehicles" or "Gliders" refer to vehicles with old powertrain (engine, transmission and/or rear axle)
combined with a new chassis and cab assembly. Most gliders are Class 8 heavy heavy-duty vehicles. They
typically use model year 2001 or older remanufactured engines that do not have to use emissions controls
such as DPF or SCR needed to meet the stringent PM and NOx standards starting MY 2007+. 102
Starting with MOVES3, we model the emission impacts of the glider vehicles as a separate regulatory class
(regClassID 49) because their population became significant starting with model year 2008 as described in
the Population and Activity Report.
For modeling purposes, all glider vehicles are presumed to be combination trucks (sourceTypelD 61 and
62) running on diesel fuel. EPA's in-house glider vehicle emission testing data103 suggest that glider
emissions have similar THC, NOx, PM2.5, and C02 running exhaust emission rates to the MOVES model year
2000 heavy heavy-duty vehicles (regClassID 47), while CO from glider vehicles is higher. Based on this
analysis, the MOVES running, start, and extended idling exhaust rates for gliders of all model years88 are
set equal to those of the model year 2000 heavy heavy-duty vehicles.
For example, Figure 2-83 shows a comparison of the running exhaust emission rates (for age 0-3 group) of
regClass 47 (heavy heavy-duty) vs. regClass 49 (glider vehicles) for selected pollutants and model year
groups. The rates for the two regulatory classes are identical for model year 2000. For later model years,
however, the emissions rates for regular heavy heavy-duty vehicles are significantly lower due to more
stringent emission standards, whereas the rates for glider vehicles stay the same at the model year 2000
levels.
The auxiliary power unit (APU) exhaust emission rates of the glider vehicles, on the other hand, are set
equal to those of regular (non-glider) heavy heavy-duty vehicle fleet. This is consistent with our
assumption that glider vehicles have the same vehicle characteristics as regular heavy heavy-duty vehicles
for non-powertrain components, and thus, have the same APU, aerodynamics, rolling resistance, brake and
tire wear.
BB Glider emission rates are intended to be the same for all model years from 2000 through 2060. However, for EC
and non-EC PM, the pre-MY 2007 values were updated without changing the post-MY 2007 values. As discussed in
the activity report, glider activity in MOVES begins in model year 2008.

3 Heavy-Duty Gasoline Exhaust Emissions
The discussion of heavy-duty gasoline vehicles first covers running exhaust emissions (Section 3.1),
followed by start emissions (Section 3.2). Within each emission process, we discuss the derivation of the
emission rates by pollutant and model year group. As gasoline-fueled vehicles are a small percentage of
the heavy-duty vehicle fleet, the amount of data available on their emissions is more limited.
3.1 Running Exhaust Emissions
3.1.1 THC, CO, and NOx
The heavy-duty gasoline running rates were analyzed in three stages. The MY 1950-2007 emission rates
were originally developed in MOVES2010. When we extended calculations to 40 ages, we duplicated the
emission rates for MY 1960 for model years back to 1950. In MOVES2014, we updated the MY 2008-2009
heavy-duty gasoline rates to account for the Tier 2 and 2007 heavy-duty rulemakings. In MOVES3, we
updated the MY 2010-2026 emission rates based on the more recent testing data. In MOVES4, we revised
the MY2027+ emission rates to account for the impact of HD2027 rule. The analysis of PM2.s running
exhaust emission rates are discussed separately in Section 3.1.2 because it used separate data and
analyses than for the gaseous pollutants.
3.1.1.1 1950-2007 Model Years
The heavy-duty gasoline emission rates for model year 2007 and earlier were carried over from previous
versions of MOVES. They are based on analysis of four medium heavy-duty gasoline trucks from the CRC E-
55 program and historical data from EPA's Mobile Source Observation Database (MSOD)104, which has
results from chassis tests performed by EPA, contractors and outside parties. The heavy-duty gasoline data
in the MSOD is mostly from pickup trucks which fall mainly in the LHD2b3 regulatory class. Table 3-1 shows
the total number of vehicles in these data sets. In the real world, most heavy-duty gasoline vehicles fall in
either the LHD2b3 or LHD45 class, with a smaller percentage in the MHD class. There are very few HHD
gasoline trucks now in use.

Similar to the HD diesel PM, THC, and CO analysis described above, the chassis vehicle speed and
acceleration, coupled with the average weight for each regulatory class, were used to calculate STP
(Equation 1-6). To supplement the available data, we examined engine certification data as a guide to

Based on these certification results, we decided to classify the data into coarse model year groups: 1960-
1989, 1990-1997, and 1998-2007.
Unlike the analysis for HD diesel vehicles, we used the age effects present in the data itself. We did not
incorporate external tampering and mal-maintenance assumptions into the HD gasoline rates. Due to the
sparseness of data, we used only the two age groups listed in Table 3-1, and applied the same age effects
to all the heavy duty regulatory classes.
3.1.1.1.1 LHD
The emission rates for LHD (LHD2b3 and LHD45, regClassID 41 and 42, respectively) were analyzed by
binning the emission measurements using the STP with a fixed mass factor of 2.06 (Table 1-3). Figure 3-2
shows all three pollutants vs. operating mode. In general, emissions follow the expected trend with
increasing STP, though the trend is most pronounced for NOx. As expected, NOx emissions for light heavy-
duty gasoline vehicles are much lower than for light heavy-duty diesel vehicles.

Table 3-2 displays the multiplicative age effects by operating mode for LHD gasoline vehicles. The relative
age effects are derived from the sample of vehicle tests summarized in Table 3-1. The multiplicative age
effects are used to estimate the aged emission rates (ages 6+) years from the base emission rates (ages 0-
5) for THC, CO, and NOx. These multiplicative age effects apply to all model year groups between 1960 and
2007. As discussed earlier, we derived multiplicative age effects from the pooled data across the three
model year groups and regulatory classes due to the limited data set

Figure 3-2 illustrates the emissions trends by age group for the 1998-2007 model year group. Since we did
not use the tampering and mal-maintenance methodology as we did for diesels, the age trends reflect our
coarse binning with age. For each pollutant, only two distinct rates exist - one for ages 0-5 and another for
age 6 and older.

3.1.1.1.2 MHD and HHD
Like the LHD rates described above, the 2007 and earlier MHD and HDD gasoline rates are based on
emissions data from the mix of LHD2b3 and MHD vehicles outlined in Table 3-1. The same model year
groups were used to classify the emission rates: 1950-1989, 1990-1997, and 1998-2007. Also, we used the
same relative increase in emission rates for the age effect. The only difference from the analysis of LHD
emission rates is that the regulatory class MHD and HHD emission rates were analyzed using STP operating
modes with a fixed mass factor of 17.1, The resulting MHD and HHD emission rates for THC, CO, and NOx
for each model year group are presented in Figure 3-4.

Figure 3-4. Emission Rates for MY 1990-1997 at age 0-3 years for Regulatory Class MHD and HHD
Table 3-3 displays the multiplicative age effects by operating mode for MHD, and HHD gasoline vehicles.
While these age effects were derived from the same data as those for the LHD vehicles, these heavy-duty
age effects are slightly different, because the operating modes are defined with the STP scaling factor of
17.1. For operating modes that do not depend on the scaling factor (opModelD 0, 1, 11, and 21), the age
effects are the same as the LHD age effects. Also, because the vehicles tested were LHD2b3 and MHD
vehicles, no data were available in the high STP power modes (typically only a HHD truck would reach
these). Thus, the higher operating modes (opModelD 13-16, 24-30, and 35-40) use the same values as the
closest operating mode bin with data.

3.1.1.2.1 LHD
The MY 2008 and 2009 LHD emission rates are updated from the MY 2007 LHD emission rates to account
for the phase-in of the Tier 2 and HD 2007 rulemaking which set emissions standards for medium-duty
passenger vehicles (MDPV), Class 2b, and Class 3 chassis-certified vehicles. Medium duty passenger
vehicles fall within the LHD2b3 regulatory class in MOVES. The useful life emission standards for these
vehicles are shown in Table 3-4.

This section documents the THC, CO and NOx emission rates for regulatory class LHD2b3 vehicles in model
years 2008 and 2009. In conducting this analysis, we lacked any modal data on LHD vehicles and therefore,
we ratioed the modal emission rates measured from light-duty vehicles by the difference in standards.12 By
MY 2008, the certification results demonstrated that LHD2b3 were nearing the emission levels of light-duty
vehicles certified to the Tier 2 Bin 8 standard.34 Consequently, we relied on the MOVES2014 analysis of in-
use Tier 2 Bin 8 vehicles conducted for the light-duty emission rates.12 We applied this analysis to derive
MY 2009 emission rates, then calculated MY 2008 rates by interpolating between MY 2007 and MY 2009.
Although the light-duty rates are based on VSP, rather than STP, adapting them for the LHD2b3 rates was
deemed an acceptable approximation because the gasoline LHD2b3 gasoline vehicles are chassis-certified
to distance-based standards (g/mi). Accordingly, the vehicle emissions rates are less dependent on the
individual power and weight of the vehicle, and should scale approximately to the g/mile emission
standards.29
Based on these assumptions, we scaled modal rates for Tier 2 Bin 8 vehicles by the ratio of FTP standards
to the calculated aggregate LHD2b3 standards documented in the MOVES2014 heavy-duty exhaust
report.34,30 Table 3-5 displays the aggregated LHD2b3 standards, Bin 8 FTP standard and the ratio between
the standards by pollutant.

29 This approximation may be revisited in the future now that we have updated the mass of LHD vehicles in MOVES3
to range from 3.5 to 7.8 metric tons, which differs from the/Sca/e value of 2.06 metric tons.
30 As documented in MOVES2014 documentation, this analysis assumed that 5% of the gasoline LHD2b3 engines
Were engine"certified, but, actually, all gasoline fueled LHD2b3 vehicles are chassis-certified. However, the engine-
certification standard has a small impact on the calculated aggregated standard conducted for MOVES2014.
158
-------
We took an additional step to "split" these ratios into "running" and "start" components, such that the
running rates increased twice as much as the start rates, while maintaining the same simulated value for
the FTP composite. This split ratio is consistent with typical emission reduction trends, where running
emissions are reduced about twice as much as start emissions.12 The "split" ratios for running and start,
which were applied to the light-duty Tier 2 Bin 8 vehicle emission rates are shown in Table 3-6.

We also adopted the light-duty deterioration effects and applied them to the MY 2009 regulatory class
LHD2b3 (regClassID 41) emission rates. The light-duty emission rates have age effects that change with
each of the 6 age groups in MOVES, as shown in Table 3-7.

After applying the steps described above (scaling the emission factors by ratio of FTP standards, and
applying light-duty deterioration trends), we restricted the scaled data so that the individual emission rates
by operating mode were never higher than MY 1998-2007 regulatory class LHD2b3 rates. This step
essentially "capped" the emission rates, such that none of the modal rates for MY 2009 are higher than
their counterparts for MY 2007 and earlier. MY 2008 rates are interpolated between MY 2007 and MY
2009 emission rates as discussed later.
This final step "capped" the model year 2009 emission rates in the highest operating modes, as shown in
Figure 3-6. For THC, emission rates in operating modes 28-30 and 38-40 were capped for some or all age
groups by the pre-2007 emission rates. For CO, emission rates in 12 of the 23 running operating modes (1,
16, 23-24, 27-30, 35-40) were capped by the pre-2007 rates. None of the NOx emission rates were
impacted by this step. Figure 3-6. shows the regulatory class LHD2b3 model year 2008-2009 emission rates
for CO, THC, and NOx. In the figure, rates "capped" by the pre-2007 rates exhibit the uncharacteristic
"stairstep" deterioration trends. Even with the "capping" effects, the rates for regulatory class LHD2b3
159
-------
(regClassID 41) are higher than those for light-duty trucks (regClassID 30), with a few exceptions. The few
exceptions are some of the age-dependent THC and or CO emission rates in operating modes 1, 30, 38, 39,
and 40. However, the majority of emission rates are considerably higher for the heavy-duty (LHD2b3) than
for the light-duty trucks. Similarly, when the FTP is simulated from the resulting rates, estimated
composites are substantially higher for LHD2b3 than for light-duty trucks.
The Light-duty Tier 2 standards shown in Table 3-4 phase-in at a rate of 50 percent in MY 2008 and are
considered fully phased in by MY 2009.106 For estimating emission rates in MOVES, we used the same
assumptions to estimate the MY 2008 emission rates. The MY 2008 running emission rates are
interpolated between the MOVES 2007 and 2009 emission rates by operating mode and age group.

Due to limited data on LHD45 vehicles, we applied the LHD2b3 emission rates developed in the previous
section to the LHD45 emission rates. The LHD2b3 and LHD45 emission rates are identical for model years
1960-2017.

Of the onroad heavy-duty vehicles GVWR Class 4 and above, a relatively small fraction are powered by

fueled vehicles decreases as the GVWR class increases. Since these vehicles are a small portion of the fleet,
there is relatively little data on these vehicles, and therefore, the current 2008 and 2009 model year
emission rates are from MOVES2010.107 The rates are modeled by applying a 70 percent reduction to the
MY 2007 running rates starting in MY 2008, which is consistent with the emission standard reduction with
the "Heavy-Duty 2007 Rule."108,32 The 2008 and 2009 model year emission rates have two age groups (0-5,
and 6+) and the same relative multiplicative age effects as the pre-2007 emission rates (Table 3-3).
3.1.1.3 2010-2060 Model Years33
In MOVES3, we updated the THC, CO, and NOx emissions rates for MY 2010 and later vehicles for all
gasoline heavy-duty regulatory classes. The initial update is described here. Additional analysis to account
for the Tier 3 and HD2027 rules are described in Sections 3.1.1.3.1 and 3.1.1.3.2 below. The updated rates
are based on analysis of real-world PEMS-based emissions measurement data from two engine-certified
and one chassis-certified heavy-duty gasoline vehicles (Table 3-8) with model years between 2015-2017. As
explained in the PM2.5 section (Section 3.1.2.2), we also conducted chassis-dynamometer laboratory
testing on these vehicles but used the PEMS gaseous emissions data because it better represents emissions
in the real-world.
The Ford and Isuzu vehicles used the most popular engine configurations for recent model year heavy-duty
gasoline Class 4 vehicles. Each of the HD gasoline vehicles had three-way catalyst (TWC) technology to
control THC, CO, and NOx emissions. However, one key difference compared to light-duty gasoline vehicle
TWC configuration is that the engine-certified HD gasoline vehicles do not use a close-coupled TWC. There
might also be differences in catalyst precious metal loading and in-cylinder combustion control for
maximum TWC efficacy. The reason for these differences is that engine-certified and chassis-certified
gasoline spark-ignited vehicles have to meet different standards.

The testing was conducted by US EPA over various test cycles in the Ann Arbor, Michigan area. The test
matrix covered a range of vehicle operation that included:
1. Two idling tests of 15- or 30-minutes duration
2. Seven on-road driving routes that cover the full range of power demand by including transient low-
and medium-speed urban driving to steady-state high-speed highway driving
3. Soak times ranging from zero minutes (hot start) to 720 minutes (cold start)
4. Vehicle weight at low or high (Table 3-8)
32 The engine-certified standards for heavy-duty gasoline were reduced by 93% (THC), 80% (NOx), and 61% (CO) with
the MY 2008 standard.
33 The additional rate adjustments for MY2018-2060 LHD2b3 and MY2027-2060 LHD45/MHD/HHD vehicles are
described in subsections 3.1.1.3.1 and 3.1.1.3.2 respectively.

A total of 202 tests across vehicles and operation modes was available for data analysis. These tests
covered about 412,000 seconds of post-QA operation. We removed the effect of warm and cold starts
from the operation since the running emissions are intended to be just the hot running operation; details
are discussed in Appendix 1.1. After removal of vehicle operation related to start emissions, the final data
set used for just the hot running emissions rates update was about 390,000 seconds.
The following steps were used to calculate the operating mode-based emission rates for each age and
regulatory class of LHD, MHD, and HHD:
1. Assign operating modes as per the method described above for diesel vehicles and calculate the
average rate per operating mode per test per vehicle
2. Calculate the average operating mode-based rate per vehicle (using only vehicle specific tests)
3. Estimate emission rates for operating modes with limited or missing data.
4. Calculate the operating mode-based emission rate as the production weighted average of the
three test vehicles.
5. Adjust emission rates by vehicle age.
In Step 1, the operating modes (Table 1-4) were assigned to the 1-hz data using the STP equation (Equation
1-6) with road-load coefficients for single-unit short-haul truck (sourceType 52) for the 2014-2020 model
year range as defined in the sourceusetypephysics table in MOVES3 database. The coefficients for single-
unit short-haul trucks are the same for all the regulatory classes within this source type (LHD2b3, LHD45,
MHD, and HHD). The road-load coefficient values used are:
rollingTermA = 0.596526 [kW.sec/m]
rotatingTermB = 0 [kW.sec2/m2]
dragTermC = 0.00160302 [kW.sec3/m3]
For vehicle mass, we used the actual test weight (Table 3-8). Road-grade was not available, so it was set to
zero. The entire data set was analyzed with the new/scofe values (Table 1-3) of 5 (LHD2b3 and LHD45), 7
(MHD), and 10 (HHD). The selection of these new/sco/e values was based on the diesel HDIUT dataset and is
described in Appendix G.
In Step 2, we averaged according to operating mode for each vehicle. In Appendix 1.2, we compared the
emission rates among the three vehicles by operating mode. Significant differences are observed between
the vehicles, however no consistent differences were noted across operating modes and pollutants
between the two engine-certified vehicles and the chassis-certified vehicle.
In Step 3, we estimated emission rates for high power operating modes with limited or missing data from
regulatory class MHD and HHD, due to the larger/sco/e values used for these operating modes. In these
cases, we aggregated the data across the nearest high-power operating modes with sufficient data and set
the emission rates to be equivalent across the aggregated bins. Additional details and examples are
discussed in Appendix 1.3.
In Step 4, we calculated a weighted average of the emission rates from the three vehicles using the
production volumes of each of the tested engines. Ideally, the emission rates for each regulatory class
(LHD2b3, LHD45, MHD, and HHD) would be estimated from test data collected from vehicles of that
162
-------
regulatory class or estimated separately for the engine-certified (LHD45 and heavier) and chassis-certified
vehicles (LHD2b3). However, due to the small sample size (including only one LHD2b3 vehicle), we used the
same weighting of the three vehicles for all the regulatory classes. The production volumes of the RAM
3500 vehicle are only a minor fraction of the combined production of the Ford and Isuzu engine volumes.
As such, the production weighting is most representative of LHD45 emission rates.34
Because we use the same production volume weighting for all the regulatory classes, the base_emission
rates for MY 2010+ LHD2b3 and LHD45 are identical. However, the LHD2b3 rates are further modified by
applying the Tier 3 reductions phased-in from MY 2018 to 2022 (Section 3.1.1.3.1). The only difference
between the LHD45, MHD, and HHD emission rates is the/sco/e used to estimate the emission rate by
operating mode, and methods used to estimate high-power operating modes conducted in Step 4 (Details
in Appendix 1.3).
In Step 5, we applied the MHD/HHD age effects shown in Table 3-3 to all gasoline heavy-duty regulatory
classes, including LHD2b3 and LHD45. We did not use the LHD2b3/LHD45 specific age effects shown in
Table 3-2. Both of these age effects tables are based on the same data set (Table 3-1) with the difference
being only the/scofe used while assigning the data to operating modes. Applying the LHD or LD (Table 3-7)
age effects to rates developed using HD data and different/sco;e ranges could over- or under-estimate the
increases in emissions from aging. Ideally, LHD2b3 emission rates and age effects would be derived from
chassis-certified heavy-duty gasoline vehicles.
3,1,1,3,1 LHD2b3 2018-2060 Model Years
The LHD2b3 vehicles are subject to the Tier 3 light-duty standards starting in MY 2018.35 To calculate
emission rates for MY 2018 and later, we applied reductions representing the Tier 3 phase-in for MY 2018-
2022 for LHD2b3 vehicles (as shown in Table 3-9) to the emission rates representing MY 2010-2017
estimated from the above. The reductions for each model year during the phase-in were estimated by
extracting the corresponding MOVES rates for MY 2007-2022, and calculating the fractions relative to MY
2017. The basis and rationale for the Tier 3 reductions for gasoline LHD2b3 vehicles developed for the Tier
3 rulemaking are documented in the MOVES2014 heavy-duty exhaust report.109
The LHD2b3 MY 2018+ rates contain the same heavy-duty gasoline age effects as were applied to the MY
2010-2017 rates (Table 3-3). The resulting emission rates for THC, CO and NOx are shown in Figure 3-7
through Figure 3-9.
34 Sales of Class 2b gasoline trucks are much larger than for Class 3, 4, 5, and 6.
35 All LHD2b3 chassis-certified complete vehicles are subject to Tier 3. All LHD2b3 gasoline fueled vehicles are chassis-
certified complete vehicles.

Beginning in MY 2027, criteria pollutant rates for medium-duty vehicles are regulated by the LMDV2027
standards. The details on our updates to MOVES to account for LMDV2027 can be found in the LD Exhaust
Report.
3,1,1,3,2 LHD45, MHD, HHD 2027-2060 Model Years
In order to account for the HD2027 standards in MOVES4, we revised the running exhaust emission rates
for NOx, THC, CO, (and PM25 described later in 3.1.2.3) for MY2027+ heavy-duty (LHD45, MHD, HHD)
gasoline vehicles using the methodology described in this section. Unlike the HD2027 standards for diesel
vehicles, the rule does not include off-cycle standards for gasoline vehicles. Due to the relatively simple
treatment of aging for MOVES HD gasoline vehicles, we did not estimate any impact from the lengthened
warranty and useful life periods provisions on the emission rates.
The FTP duty-cycle standards shown in Table 2-9 apply to both heavy-duty compression-ignition engines
and heavy-duty spark-ignition engines. We updated the NOx exhaust emission rates for gasoline, assuming
that emissions are reduced for all operating modes based on the reduction in the NOx FTP standards from
the current 0.2 g/hp-hr standard. Table 3-10 shows the estimated reduction in NOx emission rates, which is
consistent with the ratio of the MY2010 FTP emission standards and the HD2027 final FTP standards shown
in Table 3-10.
In addition, we also estimated emission rate reductions due to the HD2027 standards for HC and CO. We
estimated reduced THC and CO emission rates assuming that those emissions would be reduced due to
improvements in the three-way catalyst emission controls. We used available data from production HD
Spark-ignition (SI) engines and from the heavy-duty gasoline technology demonstration program to
estimate our modeled emissions levels.110 We assumed a 65 percent reduction in THC emissions would
occur at a NOx standard of 0.1 g/hp-hr. We assumed additional decreases in THC emissions to reflect
tighter final NOx standards in MY 2027. We derived Equation 3-1 assuming a linear decrease in THC
emissions between the estimated THC emissions emitted at the 0.1 g/hp-hr NOx FTP level, and zero THC
emissions at a hypothetical 0 g/hp-hr NOx FTP level. We then used Equation 3-1 to estimate the reductions
in THC emissions using the NOx levels for the control scenarios (Table 3-10).

Then Equation 3-2 was used to revise the MOVES emission rates to account for the HD2027 standards.
Since spark-ignition engines are not subject to the HDIUT program, we did not estimate operating mode-
specific effectiveness of reductions of the in-use emissions compared to duty-cycle standard emissions, as
was done for diesel running emissions. Instead, we assumed these reductions apply uniformly across all
running exhaust operating modes.

3,1,1,4 Inspection and Maintenance Program Effects for LHD2b3 Gasoline Vehicles
In MOVES3.1, we updated the meanBaseRatelM values for THC, CO, and NOx running exhaust emission
rates to better reflect our understanding how state and local inspection and maintenance (l/M) programs
reduce gaseous emissions from LHD2b3 gasoline vehicles.
As background, in addition to the meanBaseRates described in Section 1, the MOVES emissionRateByAge
table includes a field, meanBaseRatelM, that is used to estimate emissions under a relevant l/M program.
These calculations are explained in more detail in the MOVES Adjustments report.
165
-------
In MOVES3.0.4 and earlier versions of MOVES, we set the values of meanBaseRatelM for all HD exhaust
rates to equal the associated meanBaseRate—essentially assuming no benefit from HD l/M programs. For
MOVES3.1 and later, we reconsidered this choice for gasoline LHD2b3 trucks (regClass 41). Given the
similarity of the engine technology and aftertreatment systems between gasoline LHD2b3 and light-duty
trucks (regClass 30), and the similarity in the way these trucks are tested in contemporary l/M programs,
we updated the gasoline LHD2b3 HC, CO and NOx running exhaust values for meanBaseRatelM to reflect
the same proportional reduction (that is meanBaseRatelM/meanBaseRate) that we model for each
operating mode bin and age for the light-duty trucks. For more detail on the meanBaseRate and
meanBaseRatelM values for light-duty trucks, see the MOVES3 LD report.
3,1,1,5 Model Year Trends
Figure 3-7 through Figure 3-9 display the THC, CO, and NOx non-IM running exhaust emission rates by
model year and regulatory class (HHD and Urban Bus). The emission rates are estimated in grams per mile
(g/mile) using nationally representative operating mode distributions and average speeds. The model year
groups used to estimate the emission rates are evident: 1950-1989, 1990-1997, 1998-2007, 2008-2009,
and 2010-2060. Note that not all the changes in the gram per mile emission rates are due to changes in the
operating mode specific emission rates. For example, the MY 1995-1997 operating mode specific emission
rates are the same as the 1990-1995 emission rates for all regulatory classes. However, there is an
observed spike in the HHD gram per mile THC emission rate, which is attributed to a shift in the
distribution of HHD gasoline activity among different source types in MOVES.
Figure 3-7 shows that the THC emission rates follow decreasing trends with model year that correspond
with tighter emission factors. The drop-in emission rates in model year 2008-2009 is attributed to the
different methodology used to develop those rates discussed earlier. Even though the increasing trend
between 2008-2009 and 2010 and later model year groups may not be intuitive from a technical
perspective, we have increased confidence that the MY 2010 and later THC emission rates represent the
real-world emissions since they were developed based on in-use testing of MY 2010 and later vehicles.
Emission rates also change starting in MY2027 due to the implementation of the HD2027 standards.

The CO emission rates are shown in Figure 3-7 The CO emission rates for LHD2b3 vehicles (the largest
regulatory class of heavy-duty gasoline) follow a generally decreasing trend with model year. The trends
for LHD45 and MHD show unexpected variation across model years, including an increase in CO emission
rates for LHD45 and MHD vehicles. We have the most confidence in the most recent model year data, and
the variability in the model year trends reflects uncertainty in the earlier heavy-duty gasoline emission
rates.

3.1.2 Particulate Matter (PM2.5)
The available studies from which to develop PM25 emission for heavy-duty gasoline are particularly limited.
This includes limitations on second-by-second data from which to develop operating mode specific rates,
as well as studies representative of in-use and fleet average emissions. At the same time, heavy-duty
gasoline is a relatively small contributor to the total PM2.5 emissions inventory when compared to heavy-
duty diesel and light-duty gasoline. As a result, the limited analysis conducted for MOVES2010 has been
carried over for the 2009 and earlier vehicles as discussed in Section 3.1.2.1. For MOVES3, we updated the
2010 and later model year heavy-duty gasoline emission rates to be based on heavy-duty diesel rates as
discussed in Section 3.1.2.2.
3.1.2.1 1950-2009 Model Years
For MOVES, the MY 1960-2009 heavy-duty gasoline PM2.5 emission rates were calculated by multiplying
the MOVES2010b light-duty gasoline truck PM2.5 emission rates by a factor of 1.40, as explained below.
When we extended calculations to 40 ages, we duplicated the emission rates for MY 1960 for model years
back to 1950.
Since the MOVES light-duty gasoline PM2.5 emission rates comprise a complete set of factors classified by
particulate sub-type (EC and nonECPM), operating mode, model year and regulatory class, the heavy-duty
PM2.5 emission factors are also a complete set. No change to the PM emission rates is made between MY
2003 and 2009, because the HD 2007 Rule PM standards are not expected to change in-use emissions for
heavy-duty gasoline vehicles. As presented in the next subsection, the simulated age 0-3 HD gasoline MY
1960-2009 emission rates on the UDDS is ~6.6 mg/mile, while the standard for 2008+ spark-ignition
vehicles is 20 mg/mile108
169
-------
3.1.2.1.1 Data Sources
The factor of 1.4 used to convert light-duty gasoline PM rates to heavy-duty rates was developed based on
PM2.5 emission test results from the four heavy-duty gasoline trucks tested in the CRC E55-E59 test
program. The specific data used were collected on the UDDS test cycle. Each of the four vehicles in the
sample received two UDDS tests, conducted at different test weights. Other emission tests using different
cycles were also available on the same vehicles but were not used in the calculation. The use of the UDDS
data enabled the analysis to have a consistent driving cycle. The trucks and tests are described in Table
3-11.

The table shows the four vehicles, two of which are quite old and certified to fairly lenient standards. A
third truck is also fairly old at twelve years and certified to an intermediate standard. The fourth is a
relatively new truck at age three and certified to a more stringent standard. No trucks in the sample are
certified to the Tier 2 or equivalent standards.
Examination of the heavy-duty data shows two distinct levels: vehicle #1 (MY 2001) and the other three
vehicles. Because of its lower age (3 years old) and newer model year status, this vehicle has substantially
lower PM emission levels than the others, and initially was separated in the analysis. The emissions of the
other three vehicles were averaged together to produce these mean results:
Mean for Vehicles 2 through 4: 65.22 mg/mi Older Group
Mean for Vehicle 1: 2.71 mg/mi Newer Group
3,1,2,1,2 LHD
To compare these rates with rates from light-duty gasoline vehicles, we simulated UDDS cycle emission
rates based on MOVES2010b light-duty gas PM2.5 emission rates (with normal deterioration assumptions)
for light-duty gasoline trucks (regulatory class LDT). The UDDS cycle represents standardized operation for
the heavy-duty vehicles.
The simulated light-duty UDDS results were then compared to the results from the four heavy-duty gas
trucks in the sample. Emission rates from the following MOVES model year groups and age groups for light-
duty trucks were used:
170
-------
• MY group 1983-1984, age 20+
• MY group 1986-1987, age 15-19
• MY group 1991-1993, age 10-14
• MY group 2001, age 0-3
The simulated PM2.5 UDDS emission factors for the older light-duty gas truck group using MOVES2010b are
38.84 mg/mi (ignoring sulfate emissions which are on the order of lxlO"4 mg/mile for low sulfur fuels). This
65.22-Sf
value leads to the computation of the ratio: ^jr = 1.679.
38.84-——
mile
The simulated PM2.5 UDDS emission rates for the newer light-duty gas truck group are 4.687 mg/mi using
MOVES2010b. Ignoring sulfate emissions, which are in the order of lxlO"5 mg/mile for low sulfur fuels, this
2.71^f
value leads to the computation of the ratio: = 0.578.
4.687——
mile
The newer model year group produces a ratio which is less than one and implied that large trucks produce
less PM2.5 emissions than smaller trucks. This result is counter-intuitive and is the likely result of a very
small sample and a large natural variability in emission results.
Thus, all four data points were retained and averaged together by giving the older model year group a 75
percent weighting and the newer model year group (MY 2001) a 25 percent weighting. This is consistent
with the underlying data sample. It produces a final ratio of:
Ratiofinal = RatioolderWtFrac + Rationewer(l - WtFrac) Equation 3-3
= 1.679x0.75 + 0.578x0.25 = 1.40
We then multiplied this final ratio of 1.40 by the light-duty gasoline truck PM2 5 rates to calculate the input
emission rates for heavy-duty gasoline PM2.5 rates.
This approach is similar to how the LHD THC, CO, and NOx emissions for MY 2008 and 2009 were estimated
by using the light-duty gasoline truck emissions as the basis, with VSP-based light-duty rates applied as
STP-based LHD2b3 emission rates. This assumption was deemed an acceptable approximation because the
LHD2b3 gasoline vehicles are chassis certified to distance-based standards (g/mi). Accordingly, the vehicle
emissions rates are less dependent on the individual power and weight of the vehicle and should scale
approximately to the the g/mile emission standards.36
3,1,2,1,3 MHD and HHD
For MHD and HHD regulatory classes, the emission rates are based on a fSCaie of 17.1. The LHD emission
rates are based on the light-duty truck rates, with an fSCaie of 2.06.
We used an indirect approach to derive MHD and HHD PM2.5 emission rates from the LHD emission rates.
We assume that the relationship of total hydrocarbon (THC) between emission rates based on an /sco;e of
2.06 and 17.1 is a reasonable surrogate to map PM2.5 emission rates from an fSCaie of 2.06 and 17.1 because
36 This approximation may be revisited in the future now that we have updated the mass of LHD vehicles in MOVES3
to range from 3.5 to 7.8 metric tons, which differs from the/Sca/e value of 2.06 metric tons.37 For example, the LHD
gasoline PM2.5 age 0-3 emission rates for model year 2016 are on average 5.5 mg/mile and 7 mg/mile for LHD2b3 and
LHD45, respectively, using nationally representative operating mode distributions (See Figure 3-11). In contrast, the
MHD gasoline PM2.5 rates are lower than the comparable MHD diesel PM2.5 emission rates.
171
-------
both pollutants are products of incomplete fuel combustion and unburned lubricating oil. For the
mapping, we first calculated the emission rate ratio for THC emissions for each operating mode between
regulatory class MHD (regClassID 46) and LHD2b3 (regClassID 41). We then multiplied this ratio by the EC
and nonEC PM2.5 emission rates in regulatory class LHD2b3 (regClassID 41) to obtain EC and nonEC
emission rates based on the 17.1 fscaie used in the heavier regulatory classes (RegClassID 46 and 47). An
example of the regulatory class LHD2b3 EC emission rates, 17.1/2.06 fSCaie THC ratios, and the calculated
17.1 fscaie based EC emission rates are displayed in Table 3-12. No reductions are made between 2003 and
2009, because the 2007 HD rule is not anticipated to cause reductions in heavy-duty gasoline PM2.5
emissions.

The resulting PM2 5 emissions by regulatory class for LHD, MHD and HHD are shown in Figure 3-10. In
general, PM2.5 emission rates are of similar magnitude for each regulatory class between model year 1980
and 2009. There is significant variation in the model years, with some unexpected trends (e.g., LHD45 has
higher emission rates than HHD and MHD for most of these model years). These unexpected trends and
173
-------
variation in the emission rates across model years and regulatory class reflect uncertainties in deriving the
pre-2010 emission rates heavy-duty gasoline from light-duty gasoline data and THC surrogate values.
3,1,2,2 2010-2026 Model Years
The real-world PEMS-based emissions measurement data from two engine-certified and one chassis-
certified heavy-duty gasoline vehicles used to update the MY 2010 and later THC, CO, and NOx emission
rates (Section 3.1.1.2.2) did not include PM2.5- Lacking appropriate PM data by operating mode, we
populated the MY 2010+ HD gasoline PM2.s rates by copying MY 2010+ HD diesel rates.
This decision was supported by analysis of laboratory chassis tests. Gravimetric filter-based PM2.5
emissions measured from the three HD gasoline vehicles (described in Section 3.1.1.2.2) over various
chassis-dynamometer tests are shown in Table 3-13 The average PM2.5 rate over all vehicles and test cycles
is 1.35 mg/mi. The average PM2.5 emission rate for MY 2016 age 0-3, LHD diesel (comparable to the tested
gasoline vehicles) using nationally representative operating mode distributions and average speeds is 1.4
mg/mile (See Figure 2-34). Since those numbers were comparable given the uncertainty of the PM2.5
emission rates, and no modal HD gasoline PM2.5 data was available, we decided to use the HD diesel PM2.5
rates for HD gasoline. These rates also include the tampering and mal-maintenance age effects for model
year 2010-2026 (see Appendix B.8).

The draft diesel LHD2b3 and LHD45 PM2.5 rates were copied to the gasoline LHD2b3 and LHD45 rates,
respectively, from a MOVES version used for the preliminary HD2027 Rule analysis.108 Since the diesel
MHD rates were notably higher than the diesel LHD and HHD rates, the diesel HHD rates were used for
gasoline MHD and HHD. Note that after this analysis, the heavy-duty diesel PM2 5 emission rates in MOVES
were updated to account for the updated HDIUT sample and model year split described in Section 2.1.2.2.
For this reason, the zero-mile PM2.5 emission rates from heavy-duty gasoline are constant for 2010 and
later model years, whereas the heavy-duty diesel PM2.5 emission rates are reduced starting in model year
2013, and the heavy-duty gasoline rates for 2013 and later are generally higher than the comparable
heavy-duty diesel rates.37 Gasoline engine rates for LHD45 and LHD2b3 are higher than the HHD rates for
all 2010 and later years, whereas this trend is only seen in the initial model years (2010-2013) of the heavy-
duty diesel PM2.5 rates from the HDIUT program (Figure 2-34). We may revisit the HD gasoline rates in the
37 For example, the LHD gasoline PM2.5 age 0-3 emission rates for model year 2016 are on average 5.5 mg/mile and 7
mg/mile for LHD2b3 and LHD45, respectively, using nationally representative operating mode distributions (See
Figure 3-11). In contrast, the MHD gasoline PM2.5 rates are lower than the comparable MHD diesel PM2.5 emission
rates.

future to incorporate any new HD gasoline emissions data, or at least to make them consistent with the
updated MOVES HD diesel rates.
The gasoline rates were copied from the diesel rates as PM2.5, and then allocated to EC and nonECPM using
gasoline-specific fractions based on the Kansas City study of light-duty cars and trucks as described in the
Speciation Report.6 Because the diesel EC (9.98 percent) and nonEC (90.02 percent) split of PM2.5 differs
from gasoline EC (14 percent) and nonEC (86 percent), the EC and nonECPM emissions rates stored in the
MOVES database are also quite different than the diesel emission rates. Figure 3-12 shows the EC and
nonECPM emission rates for gasoline LHD45 vehicles by model year for age 0-3 vehicles.
The MOVES heavy-duty gasoline PM2.5 zero mile emission rates are constant for MY 2013 through 2026.
There are differences between the 2010-2012 and 2013-2026 model year groups due to different
tampering and mal-maintenance assumptions applied to the emission rates (see Section 2.1.2.3), which
primarily impact the ages 4-5 and older ages. The Tier 3 rulemaking sets PM FTP emission standards for
Class 2b and Class 3 of 8 mg/mile and 10 mg/mile, respectively, which began phase-in starting with model
year 2018 vehicles.51 We did not model reductions in the gasoline PM2.5 emission rates with the phase-in of
Tier 3, because the data on the tested heavy-duty gasoline vehicles (Table 3-13) suggests that the heavy-
duty gasoline vehicles are well in compliance with the Tier 3 standard. In addition, the diesel rates on
which the gasoline rates are based also are well in compliance with the Tier 3 standards as discussed in
Section 2.1.1.5.5.
3.1.2.3 2027-2060 Model Years
In order to account for the HD2027 standards in MOVES4, we revised the PM2 5 running exhaust emission
rates for MY2027+ heavy-duty (LHD45, MHD, HHD) gasoline vehicles using the methodology described in
3.1.1.3.2 for other criteria pollutants.
To meet the PM standards (5 mg/hp-hrfor MY2027+), manufacturers are expected to improve fuel control
and limit the need for catalyst protection. Therefore, we assumed a 50 percent reduction in PM2.5,
consistent with the 50 percent more stringent PM standard and revised the MOVES emission rates using
Equation 3-2.
Medium-duty (regulatory class 41, LHD2b3) vehicles are subject to the LMDV2027 standards for PM
beginning in MY 2027. We document our inclusion of the LMDV2027 standards in MOVES in the LD Exhaust
Report.

3.1.3.1 1950-2009 Model Years
When we extended calculations to 40 ages, we duplicated the emission rates for MY 1960 for model years
back to 1950.
3.1.3.1.1 LHD
The energy rates for gasoline LHD (LHD2b3 and LHD45 regulatory classes) pre-2009 energy rates are
unchanged from MOVES2010a. In MOVES2010a, the energy rates for LHD2b3 and LHD45, along with the
light-duty regulatory classes, were consolidated across weight classes, engine size and engine technologies,
as discussed in the MOVES2010a energy updates report57.
3.1.3.1.2 MHD and HHD
The energy rates for gasoline MHD and HHD pre-2009 energy rates are unchanged from MOVES2014. The
rates were developed using the same data set we used to develop the THC, CO, and NOx exhaust emission
rates. Similar to the analysis for the diesel running exhaust energy rates, we made no distinction in rates by
model year, age, or regulatory class. To calculate energy rates (kJ/hour) from C02 emissions, we used a
heating value (HV) of 122,893 kJ/gallon and C02 fuel-specific emission factor (fC02) of 8,788 g/gallon for
177

gasoline (see Equation 3-20). STP was calculated using Equation 1-6. Figure 3-13 presents the gasoline
running exhaust energy rates in MOVES for these regulatory classes.

A linear extrapolation to determine rates at the highest operating modes in each speed range was
performed analogously to diesel energy and NOx rates (see Section 2.1.1.4.2).
3.1.3.2 2010-2060 Model Years
The real-world PEMS-based emissions measurement data from two engine-certified and one chassis-
certified heavy-duty gasoline vehicles used to update the THC, CO, and NOx emission rates (Section
3.1.1.2.2) included C02 emissions data which was used to update the energy rates. The energy rates are
derived using the measured C02 values and the conventional gasoline specific values for carbon content
(0.0196 g/KJ) and oxidation fraction (1.0) and the molecular mass of C02 (44), and atomic mass of Carbon
(12). These values are described in the MOVES GHG and Energy Rates report.
When calculating the operating mode-based energy rates for high-power operating modes with limited or
missing data, we extrapolated using STP values using the method described in Section 2.1.1.4.2.
For LHD2b3, the energy rates are identical for MY 2010-2013. For LHD45, MHD, and HHD, the energy rates
are identical for MY 2010-2015.

We updated HD gasoline energy consumption rates in MOVES5 to account for the HD GHG Phase 3 rule. To
do so, we applied the same methodology as we did for diesel, which is discussed in Section 2.1.4.3.1.
3.1.3.3 Model Year Trends
Figure 3-14 and Figure 3-15 display the C02 (g/mile) emission rates and fuel economy values calculated
from the energy rates using the carbon content and energy density conversion factors for conventional
gasoline38 as documented in the MOVES3 Greenhouse Gas and Energy Report.The C02 (g/mile) emission
rates and fuel economy values are estimated using nationally representative operating mode distribution
and average speed values. Figure 3-15 displays the significant decrease in fuel economy in model year
2010; this is an artifact of using updated data and analysis.
The LHD emission rates show substantial variability in the early model years (pre-1985) - we do not expect
LHD vehicles to have lower fuel economy than MHD and HHD for these years but have not revisited these
emission rates due to the small number of pre-1985 gasoline vehicles remaining in the onroad fleet. As
discussed in Section 2.1.4.1, the detailed methodology used in MOVES2004 (which modeled different
emission rates according to vehicle weights, engine technologies, and engine sizes) introduced variability
into the energy rates within the current MOVES regulatory class emission rates for pre-2010 LHD.
The figures show that, since model year 2010, there are decreasing trends in C02 (g/mile) with
corresponding increases in fuel economy, due to the lower energy rates as well as lower source mass
values and improved road load coefficients estimated with the Phase 1 and Phase 2 heavy-duty
greenhouse gas rulemaking. The energy rates by operating mode have little change for model years 2027-
2060. However, some small differences in C02 (g/mile) or fuel economy values observed within model year
38 Using the energy content of conventional gasoline (E0), the fuel economy is ~4% higher than is estimated using the
energy content of E10 gasoline. Note that E10 is estimated to be the dominant gasoline fuel sold in 2008 and later.
MOVES has the same carbon content for both fuels, so there is no estimated impact on the C02 g/mile.

groups and regulatory classes with the same energy rates are due to differences in the nationally

3.2 Start Emissions
Representative in-use data on vehicle start emissions for heavy-duty gasoline vehicles is even less common
than running data. While some data was available (Table 3-18, Table 3-23), the MOVES analysis also relies
on deterioration patterns from light-duty vehicles, as well as ratios to the relevant engine emission
standards. For LHD2b3 gasoline vehicles, manufacturers comply with chassis (g/mile) emission standards.
For the larger regulatory classes, engine emission standards apply. We used the engine emission standards
to estimate differences in emissions between the LHD2b3 regulatory class and the heavier regulatory
classes. Most of this analysis has been carried over from MOVES2010b and MOVES2014, but the cold start
emissions for LHD45, MHD, and HHD gasoline engines of 2008 model year and later were updated for
MOVES3 based on certification data.
The heavy-duty spark ignition engine emissions standards113 for the Federal Test Procedure (FTP) are
shown in Table 3-17. Note that the standards for model years 1990 through 2004 for CO and THC vary by
weight class, but not by model year, whereas those for NOx vary by model year, but not by weight class.
Also, for model years 2005-2007, a single standard is applied for NMHC+NOx, but by 2008, separate but
lower standards are again in effect. Also note that by model year 2008, the standards for the three gaseous
pollutants are the same across regulatory class.

3.2.1 THC, CO, and NOx
The heavy-duty gasoline vehicle start emissions for MOVES regulatory class LHD2b3 and LHD45 vehicles
are discussed in Section 3.2.1.1. Section 3.2.1.2 discusses the development of the rates for MOVES
regulatory class MHD and HHD gasoline vehicles. In Section 3.2.1.3, we summarize and compare the two
sets of start emission rates for THC, CO, and NOx. Soak time adjustments are detailed in Section 3.2.3.
3,2,1,1 LHD2b3
For LHD2b3, the gaseous emission rates for MY 1960-2004 are based on data analysis of test data, and the
MY 2005+ emission rates are based on ratioing the pre-2005 rates based on the emission standards.
3,2,1,1,1 1950-2004 Model Years
To develop start emission rates for MY 1960-2004 heavy-duty gasoline-fueled vehicles, we extracted data
available in EPA's Mobile-Source Observation Database (MSOD).104 These data represent aggregate test
results for heavy-duty spark-ignition (gasoline powered) engines measured on the Federal Test Procedure
(FTP) cycle. The GVWR for all trucks was between 8,500 and 14,000 lbs, placing all trucks in the LHD2b3
regulatory class. The 1960-2004 LHD2b3 start rates are unchanged from LHD2b3 start emission rates in
MOVES2010b.
Table 3-18 shows the model-year by age classification for the data. The model year groups in the table
were designed based on the progression in NOx standards between MY 1990 and 2004. Standards for CO
and THC are stable over this period, until MY 2004, when a combined NMHC+ NOx standard was
introduced. However, no measurements for gasoline HD trucks were available for MY2004 and later.
Start emissions are not dependent on power, and therefore, the emission rates do not need to be
calculated differently to distinguish different/sco;e values as was done for running exhaust rates. As
discussed later, start emission rates are separated by regulatory classes to account for differences in the
emission standards and/or available test data.

3.2.1.1.2 Estimation of Mean Rates
As with light-duty vehicles, we estimated the "cold-start" as the mass from the cold-start phase of the FTP
(bag 1) less the "hot-start" phase (Bag 3). As a preliminary exploration of the data, we averaged by model
year group and age group and produced the graphs shown in Appendix F. Sample sizes were small overall
and very small in some cases (e.g., 1990, age 6-7) and the behavior of the averages was somewhat erratic.
In contrast to light-duty vehicle emissions, strong model-year effects were not apparent. This may not be
surprising for CO or THC, given the uniformity of standards throughout. This result was more surprising for
NOx, but model year trends are no more evident for NOx than for the other two. Broadly speaking, it
appeared that an age trend may be evident.
If we assume that the underlying population distributions are approximately log-normal, we can visualize
the data in ways that illustrate underlying relationships. As a first step, we calculated geometric mean
emissions, for purposes of comparison to the arithmetic means calculated by simply averaging the data.
Based on the assumption of log-normality, the geometric mean (xg) was calculated in terms of the
logarithmic mean (x/) as shown in Equation 3-4.
Xg = elnxi Equation 3-4
This measure was not appropriate for use as an emission rate but was useful in that it represents the
"center" of the skewed parent distribution. As such, it was less strongly influenced by unusually high or
outlying measurements than the arithmetic means. In general, the small differences between geometric
means and arithmetic means suggest that the distributions represented by the data do not show strong
skew in most cases. Because evidence from light-duty vehicles suggested that emissions distributions
should be strongly skewed, this result implied that these data are not representative of "real-world"
emissions for these vehicles. This conclusion appeared to be reinforced by the values in Figure F-3which
represent the "logarithmic standard deviation" calculated by model-year and age groups. This measure (s/),
is the standard deviation of natural logarithm of emissions (x/). The values of s/ were highly variable, and
generally less than 0.8, showing that the degree of skew in the data was also highly variable as well as
generally low for emissions data, e.g., corresponding values for light-duty running emissions are generally
1.0 or greater. Overall, review of the geometric means confirmed the impression of age trends in the CO
and THC results, and the general lack of an age trend in the NOx results.
Given the conclusion that the data as such are probably unrepresentative, assuming the log-normal parent
distributions allowed us to re-estimate the arithmetic mean after assuming reasonable values for s/. For
184
-------
this calculation, we assumed values of 0.9 for CO and THC and 1.2 for NOx. These values approximate the
maxima seen in these data.
The re-estimated arithmetic means were calculated from the geometric means, by adding a term that
represents the influence of the "dirtier" or "higher-emitting" vehicles, or the "upper tail of the
distribution," as shown in Equation 3-5.
_ 4r Equation 3-5
xa = xge 2
For purposes of rate development using these data, we concluded that a model-year group effect was not
evident and re-averaged all data by age group alone. Results of the coarser averaging are presented in
Figure 3-16 with the arithmetic mean (directly calculated and re-estimated) and geometric means shown
separately.

Mean, a= Arithmetic Mean Recalculated from xi and sj
We then addressed the question of the projection of age trends. As a general principle, we did not allow
emissions to decline with age. For THC and NOx, we assumed the emission rates stabilized at the maximum
level reached at the 6-7 and 8-9 age groups, respectively as shown in Table 3-19. For CO emissions, we
186
-------
kept the age trends as they were, since there was only a slight decrease in CO emissions after the
maximum was reached in the 8-9 age group.
3,2,1,1,3 Estimation of Uncertainty
We calculated standard errors for each mean in a manner consistent with the re-calculation of the
arithmetic means. Because the (arithmetic) means were recalculated with assumed values of s/, it was
necessary to re-estimate corresponding standard deviations for the parent distribution s, as shown in
Equation 3-6.
s = lx*es2(es2 - 1) Equation 3-6
After recalculating the standard deviations, the calculation of corresponding standard errors was simple.
Because each vehicle is represented by only one data point, there was no within-vehicle variability to
consider, and the standard error could be calculated as s/^Jn. We divided the standard errors by their
respective means to obtain CV-of-the-mean or "relative standard error." Means, standard deviations and
uncertainties are presented in Table 3-19 and in Figure 3-17. Note that these results represent only "cold-
start" rates (opModelD 108). Soak time adjustments other start opModes are detailed in Section 3.2.3.

Figure 3-17. Cold-Start Emission Rates for Heavy-Duty Gasoline Trucks, with 95 Percent Confidence Intervals
The steps described so far involved reduction and analysis of the available emissions data. In the next step,
we describe approaches used to impute rates for model years not represented in these data. For purposes
of analysis, we delineated four model year groups: 1960-2004, 2005-2007, 2008-2017 and 2018 and later.
The rates above were used for the 1960-2004 model year group. We describe the derivation of rates for
the remaining groups below.
When we extended calculations to 40 ages, we duplicated the emission rates for MY 1960 for model years
back to 1950.
188
-------
3,2,1,1,4 2005-2007 Model Years
For the 2005-2017 model year emission rates, we applied reductions to the 1960-2004 emission rates, by
comparing the standards between the two model year ranges. For CO, the approach was simple. We
applied the age zero values in Table 3-19 to the 2005-2007 model year group. The rationale for this
approach is that the CO standards do not change over the full range of model years considered.
For THC and NOx, we imputed values for the 2005-2007 and 2008-2017 model-year groups by multiplying
the age zero values for the 1960-2004 emission rates in Table 3-19 by ratios expressed in terms of the
applicable standards. Starting in 2005, a combined THC+NOx standard was introduced. It was necessary for
modeling purposes to partition the standard into THC and NOx components. We assumed that the
proportions of NMHC and NOx would be similar to those in the 2008 standards, which separate NMHC and
NOx while reducing both. We calculated the THC value by multiplying the 1960-2004 value by the fraction
/HC as shown in Equation 3-7.

(0.14 + 0. 20) g/hp - hr) (1' 0 9^hp ftr) Equation 3-7

= 0.37
This ratio represents the component of the 2005 combined standard attributed to NMHC. We calculated
the corresponding value for NOx as shown in Equation 3-8.

For these heavy-duty rates, we neglected the THC/NMHC conversions, to which we gave attention for
light-duty.
3,2,1,1,5 2008-2017 Model Years
For the 2008-2017 model years, the approach to projecting rates was modified to adopt two refinements
developed for light-duty rates. First, start emission rates for the LHD2b3 gasoline vehicles were estimated
from composite rates by applying the "start split-ratio" shown in Table 3-6 to a set of rates representing
light-duty trucks in Tier-2/Bin 8. Second, we updated the deterioration effects for start NOx exhaust from
MOVES2014114, by applying the ratios shown in Table 3-20.

These ratios were initially developed for LDT in a draft version of MOVES3115 but the LD age effects were
further updated prior to MOVES3 release.39
For THC and CO, the multiplicative age effects are unchanged from the effects from MOVES2014.116 The
resulting multiplicative age effects for start emission rates for LHD2b3 vehicles used in MOVES3 for model
years 2009-2017 are shown in Table 3-21. The start emission rates for model year 2008 are estimated by
averaging the MY 2007 and 2009 emission rates across all age groups and operating modes assuming a
phase-in of 50% of the Tier 2 standards and the HD 2007 Rule in MY 2008 as we assumed for LHD2b3
gasoline running emissions as discussed in Section 3.1.1.2.1. The relative age effects for LHD2b3 MY 2008
and MY 2009-2017 are shown Figure 3-21.

Using these deterioration rates for starts results in start emission rates for MY 2010+ gasoline LHD2b3
vehicles having a higher relative deterioration than running emission rates (compared to Table 3-3).40 We
39 In MOVES3, we incorporated additional updates to the start deterioration rates (including for NOx) for LDT as
documented in the MOVES3 light-duty exhaust emission rate report.12
40 The updated MY 2010 and later heavy-duty running gasoline rates (including LHD2b3) use the heavy-duty age
effects as discussed in Section 3.1.1.2.1 and 3.1.1.3.1.
190
-------
recognize this is inconsistent with our knowledge of light-duty start deterioration.12 We plan to address
this data gap with data collected on LHD2b3 in future versions of MOVES.
3,2,1,1,6 Incorporating Tier 3 Standards: 2013 and Later Model Years
Emission rates representing the phase-in of Tier-3 standards for the start-exhaust process were developed
for MOVES2014 as described in gasoline running emissions section of the MOVES2014 heavy-duty exhaust
report.109 Like the MY 2008-2017 rates, the LHD2b3 Tier 3 start rates are based on light-duty truck emission
rates scaled to higher emission standards for the LHD2b3 regulatory class. The reduction in start emissions
due to Tier 3 is relatively lower than the reductions in running emissions presented in Section 3.1.1.3.1.
The LHD2b3 start rates during and following the Tier 3 phase-in have relatively lower deterioration than
the start rates for the model years preceding the onset of the phase-in (MY 2008-2017) as documented in
the MOVES2014 light-duty exhaust report.11641 For MOVES3, we adjusted the NOx start emission rates by
applying the deterioration ratios in Table 3-20 to the MOVES2014 NOx start rates. The multiplicative age
effects for LHD2b3 cold start rates for THC, CO and NOx after the complete phase-in of Tier 3 phase-in
model year 2022 are shown below in Table 3-22 The age effects of the phase-in years of Tier 3 (MY 2018-
2021) are a weighted average of the MY 2010-2017 and the MY 2022 start emission rates using the phase-
in assumptions documented in the MOVES2014 heavy-duty exhaust report.109

We do not model any impact of the HD2027 rule on the Gasoline LHD2b3 start emissions because HD2027
standards affect only engine-certified gasoline light-heavy-duty vehicles (modelled as regulatory class
LHD45).
3,2,1,1,7 Inspection and Maintenance Program Effects for LHD Gasoline Vehicles
In MOVES3.1, we updated the meanBaseRatelM values for THC, CO, and NOx start exhaust emission rates
to better reflect the l/M programs for LHD2b3 gasoline vehicles.
Due to a lack of data and analysis, in MOVES3.0.4 and earlier versions of MOVES, we assumed no benefit
from l/M programs for starts. However, as explained in for running emissions in Section 3.1.1.3.2, we
41 In MOVES3, the deterioration effects for all model year light-duty vehicles were updated using updated data and
analysis. The light-duty Tier 3 emission rates no longer have different deterioration values. We may update the
LHD2b3 start deterioration effects to be consistent with the light-duty vehicles in an upcoming version of MOVES.
191
-------
updated the gasoline LHD2b3 HC, CO and NOxstart values for MeanBaseRatelM in MOVES3.1 and later to
reflect the same proportional reduction (that is meanBaseRatelM/meanBaseRate) that we model for each
operating mode bin and age for the light-duty trucks. For more detail on the meanBaseRate and
meanBaseRatelM values for light-duty trucks, see the MOVES Light Duty Report.12
3,2,1,2 LHD45, MHD, and HHD
The start emission rates from LHD45, MHD, and HHD gasoline vehicles differ from the rates for LHD2b3.
The following two subsections document the emission rates for 1960-2007 model years (Section 3.2.1.2.1)
and 2008+ model years (Section 3.2.1.2.2).
3,2,1,2,1 1950-2007 Model Years
Since bag data were lacking for MY 1950-2007 vehicles in classes LHD45 and MHD, we estimated cold start
values relative to the LHD2b3 start emission rates.
For CO and THC, we estimated rates for the heavier vehicles by multiplying them by ratios of standards for
the heavier class to those for the lighter class. The value of the ratio for CO based on 1990-2004 model
year standards is shown in Equation 3-9.
37.1 g/hp — hr
fCO
11 4 g/hp - hr Equation 3-9
= 2.58
The corresponding ratio for THC for 1990-2004 model year vehicles is 1.73, as shown in Equation 3-10.
1.9 at hp — hr ^
f = a/ = l. 73 Equation 3-10
,HC 1.1 g/hp -hr
The ratios derived in the previous two equations (2.58 and 1.73) were applied to estimate the start
emission rates for 1960-2004 and 2005-2007 model year groups for the LHD45, MHD, and HHD gasoline
vehicles (Table 3-25 ). Note that the ratios for CO and THC do not vary by model year group because the
standards do not; See Table 3-16.
For MY 1950-2007, NOx start emission rates for medium and heavy-duty vehicles are equal to the LHD2b3
start emission rates, because the same standards apply to all the HD regulatory classes. The approaches for
all three regulatory classes in all model years are summarized in Table 3-25 .
3,2,1,2,2 2008-2060 Model Years
The cold start emissions for 2008 model year and later LHD45, MHD, and HHD gasoline engines have been
updated for MOVES3 based on new data. Similar to the approach taken for light-duty vehicles and for
diesel vehicles (see Section 2.2.1.2), the cold start emissions are calculated as the difference in emissions
between a test cycle with a cold start and the same test cycle with a hot start. Heavy-duty gasoline engines
are certified using the Heavy-Duty Gasoline Engine Federal Test Procedure (FTP) cycle.117 The test
procedure for certification requires that manufacturers run the engine over the FTP cycle with a cold start
and then repeat the cycle with a warm start. Starting in model year 2016, EPA began collecting certification
data that contained separate cold and hot results for each engine certified. The data that was analyzed for
this MOVES3 update includes the following engine families from the 2016 and 2017 model years shown in
Table 3-23.

The certification data was used to determine the grams emitted per cold start using Equation 3-11.
Grams per Start = [Cold FTP Emission Results (g/(hp — hr))
— Hot FTP Emission Results(g/(hp — hr))] equation 3-
* FTP Cycle Work (hp — hr)
The amount of work (hp-hr) performed over the FTP cycle is not provided as part of the certification data
submitted by the manufacturers to EPA. We only had cycle work data from one 19.3 hp-hr HD gasoline
engine. While we acknowledge that FTP cycle work is unique to each engine because it is created based on
the engine's maximum speed, curb idle speed, and the maximum torque curve, we estimated cycle work
for all HD gasoline engines using our one engine data source.
The analysis of cold and hot start FTP emissions data from three HD gasoline engines determined the
grams per start for THC, CO, NOx, and PM2.5- The mean and standard deviation of the THC, CO, NOx, and
PM2.5 emission levels for the three engines are shown in Table 3-24. The MY 2016 and 2017 engines ranged
in displacement between 5.4 and 7.2 liters, and ranged in rated power between 297 and 332 HP. The new
default cold start emissions values for MOVES3 are the mean values shown in Table 3-24. The THC, NOx
and PM2.5 cold start emissions for HD gasoline engines are higher compared to MOVES2014, while the CO
emissions are lower.

We applied the same relative age deterioration for the 2008+ model years starts for THC, CO and PM25 as
was used for the previous model year groups (which is based on the gasoline LHD2b3 1960-2004 model
years). For NOx, we applied the relative age deterioration as was used for LHD2b3 vehicles for MY 2008 and
later vehicles shown in Table 3-21 and Table 3-22.42 The start rates for THC, CO, and NOx for this model
year group for each age are graphed in Figure 3-21.
We do not model any impact of the HD2027 rule on the Gasoline LHD45, MHD or HHD start emissions due
to the lack of sufficient data to model the impact.
42 In a future update to MOVES, we may update the HD gasoline deterioration to be consistent with the updates
made to the LD rates in MOVES3, as well as apply a consistent approach for HD gasoline emissions deterioration for
both start and running deterioration and for all pollutants.

The outcomes of the methods described in the table above are summarized graphically in Figure 3-18
through Figure 3-20 for cold-start emissions. The decline in start emissions with the adoption of more
stringent standards begins with the reduction in model year 2005 and ends at the completion of the phase-
in of Tier 3 standards for LHD2b3 vehicles in model year 2022. Note that there is a slight increase in THC
start emissions for LHD45 vehicles in model year 2008, which is the first model year using the new start
certification data discussed above in Section 3.2.1.1.5.

3.2.2 Particulate Matter (PM2.5)
Data on PM2.5 start emissions from heavy-duty gasoline vehicles were unavailable, so these emissions were
extrapolated as described below.
3.2.2.1 LHD2b3
For LHD2b3 vehicles, we used the multiplicative factor from the running exhaust emissions analysis of 1.40
(derived in Equation 3-3 in Section 3.1.2.1.2) to scale up start emission rates from light-duty trucks (LDT)
for model years 1960-2003.
For 2004+ model years, the LHD2b3 start emission rates are 1.4 times the model year 2003 LDT emission
rates. We project constant start emissions using the 2003 model year emission rates rather than scaling to
the LDT PM2.5 rates with the 2004 and later model years because the LD rates increase due to the updated
data on emission rates and sales penetration of gasoline direct injection technology, and subsequently,
decrease beginning in model year 2018 with the implementation of the Tier 3 Vehicle Emissions and Fuel
Standards Program. We are not confident that such patterns will apply to HD gasoline due to limited data
regarding heavy-duty PM2.5 rates and uncertainty regarding (a) the expected penetration of gasoline direct
injection technology in heavy-duty gasoline vehicles and (b) the impact of Tier 3 on HD gasoline PM2.5
emissions (see Section 3.1.2.2). We do not model any impact of the HD2027 rule on the Gasoline LHD2b3
start emissions because HD2027 standards affect only engine-certified gasoline light-heavy-duty vehicles
(modelled as the LHD45 regulatory class).
The start PM2.5 emission rates for heavy-duty gasoline vehicles exhibit the same relative effects of soak
time, and deterioration as the LDT PM2.5 start emission rates.
Medium-duty vehicles are subject to the LMDV2027 PM standards beginning in MY 2027. We document
our incorporation of the LMDV2027 standards into MOVES in the LD Exhaust Report.
3.2.2.2 LHD45, MHD, and HHD
Due to a lack of PM2.5 start data, we use the same PM2.5 emission rates for LHD2b3 for all heavy-duty
gasoline for MY 1950-2007. For MY 2008 and later, for LHD45, MHD, and HHD, we updated the PM2.5 start
emissions data using certification data presented in Table 3-24. This causes the start emissions to increase
significantly for LHD45, MHD, and HHD between MY 2007 and MY 2008 as shown in Figure 3-22. We do not
model any impact of the HD2027 rule on the gasoline LHD45, MHD or HHD start emissions due to the lack
of sufficient data to model the impact.
We continue to apply the same age adjustments to the start PM2.5 as the LDT emissions due to lack of data.
We caution there is considerable uncertainty in the start heavy-duty gasoline PM2.5 emission rates,
especially for pre-2007 model years.
3.2.2.3 Model Year Summary
Figure 3-22 displays the cold start emission rates across model years for heavy-duty gasoline vehicles. For
the LHD45, MHD and HHD vehicles, we have more confidence in the emission rates from the 2010 and
later model year groups since they are based on certification results from these engines.

3.2.3 Soak Time Adjustments
To estimate the start emissions at various soak lengths, we apply the same soak fractions to the cold start
emissions that we apply to 1996-2003 MY light-duty gasoline vehicle as documented in the light-duty
emission rate report12 and shown in Figure 2-60. These are the same adjustments used for heavy-duty
gasoline vehicles in MOVES2014.
To evaluate these adjustment ratios for MOVES, we considered recent start emission rate data from one
heavy-duty gasoline truck. The data was gathered using PEMS using the procedure and methods discussed
in Section 2.2.3.2. The vehicle tested was a 2012 MY box truck with a gasoline engine. Figure 3-23 shows
the results from the testing as compared to the MOVES adjustments. Because the trend in the soak time
effects is similar to the values used in MOVES2014, and because we only had new data from one truck,
MOVES retains the start emission adjustment ratios used in MOVES2014.

3.2.4 Start Energy Rates
The heavy-duty gasoline start energy rates were originally derived in MOVES2004, and updated in
MOVES2010a as described in the corresponding reports.57 Figure 2-32 displays the C02 (g/mile) emission
rates for cold start (operating mode 108) calculated from the energy rates using the carbon content of
conventional gasoline as documented in the MOVES3 Greenhouse Gas and Energy Report. As shown, there
is substantial variability in the start rates between 1974 and 2000. As discussed in Section 2.1.4.1, the
detailed methodology used in MOVES2004 (which modeled different emission rates according to vehicle
weights, engine technologies, and engine sizes) introduced variability into the energy rate within the
current MOVES regulatory class emission rates.
Table 3-26 displays the relative contribution of running and start operation to total energy consumption
from the heavy-duty gasoline regulatory classes from a national run for calendar year 2016. Like diesel
vehicles, starts from gasoline vehicles are estimated to be a relatively small contributor to the total energy
demand of vehicle operation. Due to the small contribution to the total energy inventory, we have not
prioritized updating the heavy-duty gasoline start emissions rates.

The HD gasoline start energy rates are reduced for shorter soak times using the same factors for diesel
vehicles, as presented in Table 2-53. The energy rates also increase with cold temperatures using the
temperature effects documented in the 2004 Energy Report.71
The start energy rates include the projected impact of the Phase 1 Heavy-Duty GHG standards, which
began phasing-in in 2014 and have the same reductions as the running energy rates, as presented in Table
2-30 and Table 2-34. As discussed in Section 2.2.4, the start energy rates are not projected to change due
to the HD GHG Phase 2 standards.

4 Heavy-Duty Compressed Natural Gas Exhaust Emissions
While natural gas lacks the ubiquitous fueling infrastructure of gasoline, the use of compressed natural gas
(CNG) as a transportation fuel has grown for public transit, government, and corporate fleets. Such fleets
typically utilize centralized, privately-owned refueling stations. Fleet vehicles are typically operated as
back-to-base, which means the vehicles return to the same base location each day for refueling. Within
200
-------
this segment, some of the most prevalent use of in CNG vehicles has occurred among city transit bus fleets
and in solid waste collection or refuse truck fleets.118
MOVES models CNG fuel for all heavy-duty source types. CNG transit buses are mapped to the urban bus
regulatory class (regClassID 48). CNG vehicles in other heavy-duty source types are mapped to the HHD
regulatory class (regClassID 47). The base emission rates for the two regulatory classes are identical. Thus,
any differences in CNG emissions between source types is due to differences in population and activity.
As noted above for diesel and gasoline vehicles, MOVES methane emissions are not estimated using
emission rates. Rather, methane is estimated in relation to THC, using ratios stored in the
MethaneTHCratio table in MOVES. The ratios are categorized by fuel type, pollutant process, source type,
model-year group, and age group. MOVES multiplies the THC rate by the corresponding ratio from the
MethaneTHCratio table to calculate the CH4 rate. The methane fraction from CNG vehicles is 89% and 96%
for model year groups 1950-2001 and 2002-2060, respectively, as documented in the Speciation report.6
Total energy consumption is age independent and therefore stored in the EmissionRate table. Some of the
published studies did not report total energy consumption directly, so it was necessary to compute energy
from a stoichiometric equation based on the carbon content in the emitted pollutants or from reported
values of miles per gallon equivalent of diesel fuel. In the former case, we used 0.8037 as the carbon
fraction coefficient for non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC) when the bus was equipped with an oxidation
catalyst and 0.835 without due to high ethene levels, using speciation profiles from Ayala et al. (2003)119
discussed later in this section. All other conversion factors to energy were taken from Melendez et al.
(2005).123
On a similar note, MOVES does not report particulate matter (PM2.5) as a single rate; it reports one rate for
PM from elemental carbon (EC) of 2.5 microns or less, and another rate for non-elemental carbon of 2.5
microns or less. These separate rates for PM (EC) and PM (NonEC) from the emissionRateByAge table are
added together for a total PM2 5 rate used for comparison to the measurements.
4.1 Running Exhaust Emission Rates
The pre-2010 running emission rates are relatively unchanged from MOVES201443, and are based on cycle
average rates as discussed in Section 4.1.1. The running exhaust emission rates for model year 2010 and
later CNG vehicles using second-by-second in-use emission measurements from heavy-duty vehicles are
discussed in Section 4.1.2.
4.1.1 1950-2009 Model Years
Ideally, MOVES modal emission rates would be developed through analysis of second-by-second data of
vehicles of the appropriate regulatory class, model year, and age. Unfortunately, such data are not readily
available for all model years.
In particular, data at multiple ages that can be used to determine emission deterioration, and second-by-
second data that can be used to establish STP trends was very limited for MY 2009 and earlier CNG
vehicles. Thus, for MOVES, we applied STP and age trends from MHD gasoline vehicles to cycle-based
certification results. The following sections describe the available data and the methods to calculate the
adjustment ratios.
43 The only change was to limit the certification data used to derive the 2007-2009 model year emission rates to the
2007-2009, rather than 2007-2017 as discussed in Section 4.1.1.2.3.

4.1.1.1 CNG Chassis Dynamometer Measurements
Chassis data was collected from programs that were conducted at several research locations around the
country on heavy-duty chassis dynamometer equipment. In our analysis for MOVES2014, we compiled 34
unique dynamometer measurements. Data from newer studies such as Clark et al. (2007)130 would provide
further validation and refinement to the rates discussed in this report, however they have not been
incorporated here.
The data considered consisted of distance-specific running emissions rates for each of the following
pollutants and total energy:
1. oxides of nitrogen (NOx)
2. carbon monoxide (CO)
3. particulate matter (EC + non-EC)
4. total hydrocarbons (THC)
5. methane (CH4)
6. total energy consumption
This data was collected on two driving cycles, the Central Business District (CBD) and Washington
Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA).
The CBD cycle is defined as a driving pattern with constant acceleration from rest to 20 mph, a short cruise
period at 20 mph, and constant deceleration back to rest, repeated for 600 seconds (see Figure 4-1).120 The
WMATA cycle was developed using GPS data from city buses in Washington, DC, and has higher speeds
and greater periods of acceleration than the CBD cycle (see Figure 4-2).

Table 4-1 shows a summary of the number of unique CNG bus measurements by driving cycle for each
study. Navistar published a similar study of CNG and diesel buses in 2008, and this analysis shares many of
the same sources.122 All of the vehicles were in service with a transit agency at the time of testing. The
number of unique measurements are typically equal to the number of vehicles tested and the
measurements were typically reported as averages based on multiple runs with the same vehicle and
configuration over a specific driving cycle with the exception of measurements reported by Ayala et al.
(2002)125 and Ayala et al. (2003).119 In the Ayala et al. (2002) study the 2000 model year CNG bus was
tested and then retested after approximately two months of service, which we treated as independent
measurements. Ayala et al. (2003) retested the same 2000 CNG bus as in their previous study; however,
the bus had accumulated an additional 35,000 miles and was serviced by the OEM to be equipped with an
oxidation catalyst that was later removed for baseline testing. Ayala et al. (2003) conducted duplicate tests
under each vehicle/aftertreatment configuration, which we considered four independent measurements.

4.1.1.2 Determining Model Year Groups
Model year groups are intended capture differences in vehicles over time while still being manageable
from a computational viewpoint. Model year groups are defined based on availability of measurement
data (see Table 4-1), emissions standards, and/or new vehicle technologies that affect real-world
emissions.
4.1.1.2.1 1994-2001 Model Years
We evaluated the measured NOx, CO, PM2.5, and THC emission rates to establish model year groups and
chose to group all the CBD measurements from the literature into one model year group, spanning from
MY 1994 to MY 2001. Note that we decided to exclude one of the studies that had four MY 2001 buses
tested on the WMATA cycle from this part of the analysis. This was done because inclusion increased the
complexity of analysis by having to deal with two driving cycles within a model year group while providing
only an incremental increase in sample size.
204
-------
4.1.1.2.2 2002-2006 Model Years
Of the surveyed data, only one study had vehicles newer than MY 2001.44 130This paper, a joint study
between NREL and WMATA, had three MY 2004 vehicles. The MY 2004 vehicles have a visibly different
emissions profile than the other vehicles. While these buses were only tested on the WMATA cycle, they
were all equipped with oxidation catalysts and had substantially lower emissions, particularly for PM2.5,
compared to the 1994-2001 buses tested on the CBD cycle. As a result, we created a model year group
from MY 2002 to MY 2006 based on the MY 2004 buses tested on the WMATA cycle. This MY group ends
before MY 2007 when a new series of stringent emission standards went into effect, as described below.131
4.1.1.2.3 2007-2009 Model Years
MOVES2014 had a single set of emissions for 2007-and later buses. In MOVES3, we created two groups,
MY 2007-2009 and MY 2010+ (noted as MY 2010-2017 when comparing certification data). We decided to
split the groups in this way because: (a) changes to fSCaie values starting MY 2010 (see Appendix G) requires
rates to be re-analyzed using 1 hz data; (b) the HDIUT data set includes real world data on MY 2010+ CNG
vehicles; (c) certification data showed a significant difference between the average emissions rates for NOx
and CO between these two model year groups (but note that certification data is not used in developing
the rates for MY2010+), and (d) this allows for better representation of differences in combustion and
aftertreatment technology, such as stoichiometric-combustion with three-way catalysts (TWC) that
became more prevalent starting year 2010.
Certification emission data for natural gas heavy-duty vehicles are publicly available by model year on the
EPA's Office of Transportation and Air Quality website.132 Analysis of these data showed that from MY
2002 to MY 2017, there have been changes in average certification levels for all the pollutants considered
in this report. In particular, NOx and PM2.5 levels have dropped dramatically. This effect is largely
attributable to increasingly stringent emission standards, which have affected both diesel and CNG
engines.
Emission rates from analysis of certification data and number of CNG engine families in the certification
data are shown in Table 4-2 below. The current, and historically most stringent, heavy-duty compression-
ignition NOx standard of 0.20 g/bhp-hr was fully phased in by 2010 and MY 2010+ heavy-duty CNG engines
are required to meet this standard (even if they are not compression-ignition). Thus, the average NOx
certification value for the MY 2010-2017 group is considerably lower compared to the MY 2007-2009
group. At the same time, and mostly to meet the new NOx standard, heavy-duty CNG engines transitioned
from lean-burn to stoichiometric-combustion with TWC. This technology transition is the likely reason for
the increase in THC and CO certification emissions rates from MY 2007-2009 to MY 2010-2017.
The differences in MOVES emission rates across all model years are discussed below in Section 4.1.3.
44 Several papers have discussed more recent vehicles. Examples include Clark et al. (2007).129 Data from these newer
studies would provide further validation and refinement to the rates discussed in this report.

a For MY 2002-2006, the number of engine families is based on HD CNG urban bus
regulatory class. For MY 2007-2009 and MY 2010-2017, the number of engine families is
based on all HD CNG engine families.
b Some engine families did not report emission data for THC and/or PM2.5.
c MY 2002-2006 group emission rates are projected sales weighted average of HD CNG
urban bus certification emission rates. MY 2007-2009 and 2010-2017 group emission
rates are simple average of all HD CNG certification emission rates (no weighting for
projected sales).
d Certification data has measurements of organic material non-methane hydrocarbon
equivalent (OMNMHCE). For this analysis they were treated as NMHC values.133
e Only shown for comparison. Certification data for MY 2010-2017 is not used in
developing MY 2010+ rates, which are based on MY 2010+ CNG vehicles in the HDIUT
data set.
4.1.1.3 Creating Comparable MOVES Gasoline Emissions
Section 1.6 explains how MOVES operating modes relate to scaled tractive power (STP). Because we
lacked data on age and STP trends for pre-2010 CNG vehicles, we applied adjustments based on the rates
for gasoline MHD vehicles. To do this, we compared CNG emission data collected on the CBD and WMATA
cycles to what MOVES estimated for MHD gasoline vehicles on those same cycles.
Because the pre-2009 CNG vehicles form a small and diminishing portion of the MOVES fleet, we have not
updated this analysis which relied on emissions, vehicle and activity information from MOVES2010b.
This approach requires converting activity on the CBD and WMATA bus driving cycles to MOVES operating
mode distributions, and then simulating MHD gasoline emissions on those same operating mode
distributions.
4.1.1.3.1 Operating Mode Distributions for Transit Bus Drive Cycles
The MOVES2010b project level importer was used to input the second-by-second drive cycle for the CBD
and WMATA drive cycles. For each, a single link was created, with the test cycle entered as a drive trace.
Running MOVES2010b generated the operating mode distribution, which is created by allocating the time
spent in each operating mode according to the cycle speed and acceleration, as shown in Figure 4-3 and
Figure 4-4. The derivation of scaled tractive power (STP) and operating mode attribution for heavy-duty
vehicles are discussed earlier in this report, in Section 1.5. Road grade is set to zero because these are
chassis dynamometer runs.
206
-------
Since STP is dependent on mass (among other factors), the average vehicle inertial test mass for each cycle
was inserted into the MOVES2010b sourceUseType table in place of the default transit bus mass to ensure
a more accurate simulation- 14.957 metric tons for the CBD and 16.308 metric tons for the WMATA,
compared to the MOVES2010b default of 16.556 metric tons. The STP calculations used the road-load
coefficients from MOVES2010b for transit buses, assuming the coefficients (A, B, and C) were similar to
those of the tested buses.

4.1.1.3.2 Simulating Cycle Average Emission Rates
With the operating mode distributions determined above, and the emission rates in the MOVES2010b
database, we simulated the gasoline MHD emissions for each pollutant for each cycle. Dividing by the cycle
total distance we calculated the simulated cycle-average distance-specific rate for that cycle (ESimcycie,
g/mile), as shown in Equation 4-1. Using this method, the simulated cycle emission aggregates were
calculated as a function of the following parameters:
• fuel type,

Where:
• Dcyde = distance of the cycle, in miles
• Rp,om = emission rate of pollutant p in operating mode OM, in g/hr
• Tom,cycle = time spent in operating mode OM for given cycle, in hr
We compared the MOVES2010b simulated MHD gasoline rates with the published chassis dynamometer
measurements. We also specified the age group and model year to match individual vehicles in the testing
programs from the literature on CNG transit buses.
4.1,1,4 Emissions Rates by Model Year Group
To estimate emission rates for pre-2010 CNG vehicles, we applied STP and age trends from MHD gasoline
vehicles to cycle-based CNG certification results. Mathematically, this is the same as applying a CNG
adjustment to MHD gasoline emission rates, which is how the analysis is described in the sections below.
Due to limited data on older vehicles in the literature, the ratios (shown in Table 4-3) developed using
vehicles in the 0-3 age group have been applied to all other age groups. In addition, we assumed that CNG
vehicles exhibit the same deterioration trend as medium heavy-duty gasoline trucks (Table 3-3 in Section
3.1.1.1.2 for THC, CO and NOx, and Section 3.1.2.1.3 for PM2.5 )•
4.1.1.4.1 1950-2006 Model Years
The operating mode based emissions rates for MOVES2010b45 MHD gasoline vehicles were adjusted by the
ratio of cycle-average emissions rates from chassis dynamometer measurements to simulated cycle
modeling (see Section 4.1.3). For MY 1994-2001 and MY 2002-2006, the adjustment ratios were based on
the CBD cycle and WMATA cycle, respectively.
For each model year group, a central model year was selected as the source for the MHD gasoline
operating mode based rates. For MY group 1994-2001, we used MHD gasoline rates from MY 1997
because it is one of the median years in the group. Alternatively, we could have used the other median
year, MY 1998. Even though the average rate for MY 1998 was significantly lower (44 percent of that of
MY 1997), based on Equation 4-2, we expect minimal differences in the final estimated CNG rates (Rcng
term) whether we use MY 1997 or MY 1998 as the median year since the lower operating mode rates (RMdg
term) will lead to lower simulated cycle-average rate (Emdg term), which in turn will lead to larger
adjustment ratio (ECng/Emdg). For MY group 2002-2006, we used MHD gasoline rates from MY 2004
because that was the model year of the engine in each of the CNG vehicles measured on the chassis

2010 model years.

dynamometer (the MY 2001 vehicles were not included in this group). See Equation 4-2 and Equation 4-3
for MY groups 1994-2001 and 2002-2006, respectively.
We assumed that the MY 1993 and earlier CNG vehicles have the same emission rates as MY group 1994-
2001.

4.1,1,4.2 2007-2009 Model Years
Due to lack of published data on MY 2007-2009 in-use vehicles, we used certification emissions rates,
shown in Table 4-2, to scale the operating mode based emissions rates. Certification emissions rates are
reported in grams per brake horsepower-hour (g/bhp-hr) and are not directly used in formulating MOVES
emission rates because they do not include real-world effects such as deterioration134 which were present
in the chassis dynamometer measurements used to estimate emissions rates for MY 1994-2001 and MY
2002-2006. So, we created scaling factors that we could apply to the MY 2002-2006 emissions rates to
estimate rates for MY 2007-2009. This scaling factor is the right-most term in Equation 4-4 shown below.

• Ccng,2002-2006 = Projected sales weighted average certification emission rate for CNG urban
bus engine families in MY 2002-2006, in g/bhp-hr
The adjustment ratio for energy consumption for MY 2002-2006 (Equation 4-3) is applied to all model
years in 2007-2009. For MY 2007+, we did not scale the energy consumption rates like we did for other
pollutants (Equation 4-4) because even though we have certification data on C02 emission rates for 2007-
2009 model years, we do not have certification data on C02 emission rates for MY 2002-2006. As a result,
MY 2007-2009 energy consumption rates are identical to the MY 2002-2006 rates.

the HDIUT data set. Ages 6+ apply deterioration factors to age 0-3 rates as described in
main text.
a The measured CO rate (0.14 g/mi) was uncharacteristically low and thus determined to be an outlier
and not used. Each of the three post-2001 vehicles in this study had the same MY 2004 engine (John
Deere 6081H). This engine's CO certification rate was a full order of magnitude lower than certification
rate of other MY 2004 engine models, and was not supported by additional test results. We adjusted the
WMATA chassis dynamometer CO rate by the ratio between the sales-weighted average CO certification
level of all MY 2004 CNG engine models and the CO certification level for the MY 2004 John Deere 6081H
engine.

gasoline rates and the MOVES3 CNG emission rates.

-------
4.1.2 2010-2060 Model Years
Running emission rates for MY 2010 and later CNG vehicles were based on information from in-use trucks,
and thus, unlike the calculations for earlier model years, the rates by operating mode could be calculated
directly. We then applied factors to account for deterioration with vehicle age, and adjustments to energy
rates to account for the phase-in of heavy-duty greenhouse gas standards.
We did not update CNG emission rates for the HD2027 rule since the average NOx FTP emission level for
MY 2010-2017 CNG engine families is already close to the HD2027 0.1 g/hp-hr standard. We expect any
further reductions due to the rule to be small.

Running emission rates for MY 2010 and later CNG vehicles were based on information from in-use trucks.
To develop MY 2010+ emissions rates (for THC, CO, NOx, and PM2.5) and energy consumption rates, we
used the MY 2010+ CNG vehicles in the HDIUT data set. At the time of analysis, there were five MY 2011
CNG vehicles and six MY 2014 vehicles. These 11 vehicles are all stoichiometric-combustion with TWC and
are certified at or below the 0.20 g/bhp-hr standard.
After quality assurance, the 1 Hz data set included about 310,000 seconds of operation. Operating modes
(Table 1-4) were assigned to the 1 Hz data using the method to calculate STP described in section 2.1.1.3.
The analysis used updated fscaie values described in section 2.1.1.4.2 and Appendix G and thus, there was
no need for hole-filling of missing operating modes. The operating mode-based rates were calculated using
fscaie = 10. The rates for regClass 47 and 48 are identical.
Unlike the analysis method for HD diesel (described in section 2.1.1.5), the method for HD CNG did not use
the NOx FEL based grouping since all 11 vehicles are in the same NOx FEL group. As a result, the zero-mile
(age 0) THC, CO, NOx, and PM2.5 rates for CNG are identical for all model years starting 2010 (unlike HD
diesel where they change for each model year in 2010-2015 based on production volume differences
between the NOx FEL groups).
4.1.2.2 Age-based deterioration factors
THC, CO, and NOx age-based deterioration factors for MY 2010+ CNG vehicles are unchanged from
MOVES2014. In MOVES2014, these factors were set as equal to the factors for MY 2010+ HD gasoline
vehicles, which in turn are identical to and based on MY 1960-2007 HD gasoline vehicles. There is no
deterioration for age groups 0-3 and 4-5 and the deterioration factor (per operating mode) is same across
age groups for ages 6+ but varies between operating modes within an age group. These deterioration
factors are described in Table 3-3 in Section 3.1.1.1.2.
For PM2.5, in MOVES, ages 0-3 and 4-5 have no deterioration and the MOVES2014 light-duty PM2.5
deterioration factor for age 6-7 is applied to all CNG PM2.5 emission rates for ages 6+, thus making the PM2.5
and gaseous pollutant methods more (but not fully) aligned. Note that, unlike the factor for gaseous
pollutants, the MOVES PM2.5 deterioration factor does not vary between operating modes for a given age
group. See Section 3.1.2.1.3 for more details and Table 4-4 for a comparison between MOVES3 and later and MOVES2014.

set precision before submission to the database.
4.1.2.3 Application of Heavy-Duty Greenhouse Gas Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 Rules
To model energy consumption in MOVES, we split the CNG MY 2010+ group into MY 2010-2013, MY 2014-
2017, and MY 2018+ groups. The MY 2010-2013 energy consumption rates are identical across these
model years and based solely on the HDIUT data set analysis. For MY 2014-2017, the CNG energy
consumption rates of MY 2013 are reduced by the percentage reduction assigned to HHD vehicles in the
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards and Fuel Efficiency Standards for Medium and Heavy-Duty Engines
and Vehicles Phase 1 rule59 (see Table 2-30). Similarly, for MY 2018 and later, using MY 2017 rates as base
year, the energy consumption rates of CNG vehicles are further reduced as per the Greenhouse Gas
Emissions and Fuel Efficiency Standards for Medium and Heavy-Duty Engines and Vehicles — Phase 2 rule61
(see Table 2-31). Note that the Phase 1 reduction for CNG vehicles is identical across all allowed source
type and regulatory class combinations. However, for the Phase 2, different reductions for CNG vehicles
are applied by source type and regulatory class (see Table 2-31). The anticipated improvements in fuel
efficiency from the Phase 2 rules are stored in the EmissionRateAdjustment table.
The GHG Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 reductions reflect the percent improvements projected from the
rules based on engine technology improvements to diesel engines. In making these projections, we
assumed the HD GHG rules lead to the same reductions in the energy rates for CNG vehicles as for heavy-
duty diesel. In reality, manufacturers of CNG vehicles can meet the standards by lowering both CH4 and
C02 emissions, and the reductions in fuel consumption (and C02 emission rates) between CNG and diesel
vehicles will likely differ. Future MOVES versions may update the energy consumption rates and CH4
emission rates with data from MY 2015 and later CNG vehicles that comply with the GHG standards.
4.1.3 Model Year Trends
Figure 4-5 through Figure 4-9 display the THC, CO, NOx, PM2.5, and C02 running exhaust emission rates by
model year and regulatory class (HHD and Urban Bus). The emission rates are estimated in grams per mile
(g/mile) using nationally representative operating mode distributions and average speeds. The change in
emissions at MY 2010 coincides with both a change in our analysis methodology and a shift in the CNG
vehicle fleet from lean-burn combustion to stoichiometric combustion with a three-way catalyst.
212
-------
Figure 4-5 shows a significant increase in the THC emissions between the MY 2007-2009 and MY 2010 and
later vehicles. Because MOVES uses the same methane fraction for 2002 and later CNG vehicles, the CH4
and non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC) emissions follow the same trend. The significant increase in THC,
CH4, and NMHC starting in MY 2010 with the increased penetration of CNG vehicles with stoichiometric-
combustion engines and three-way catalyst (TWC) is not supported by the certification data presented in
Table 4-2 nor in recent studies comparing stochiometric and lean-burn combustion CNG engines.135,136 The
differences in the methodologies and limitations in the pre-2010 data likely contributed to apparent
increase in THC emissions starting in 2010 model year in MOVES.

NH3 emissions from starts. Extended idle emission rates are only estimated for gasoline and CNG as
discussed in the following sections.
5.1 Heavy-Duty Diesel
Ammonia is not formed during typical combustion processes in diesel engines but is emitted as a
undesirable byproduct of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) aftertreatment systems present on model year
2010 and later heavy-duty diesel vehicles to meet the 2010 NOx emission standards.
The SCR system functions by injecting aqueous urea into the exhaust flow, which then thermally
decomposes to NH3 and C02 (Equation 5-1). NOx is then reduced to N2 by reactions shown in Equation 5-2
through Equation 5-4.137
Excessive urea injected into the exhaust stream can lead to ammonia passing through the aftertreatment
system into the atmosphere, referred to as ammonia slip. NH3 oxidation (AMOX) catalysts can be used to
reduce ammonia slip but may not eliminate the emissions entirely.138,93
We estimate zero heavy-duty diesel NH3 start emissions. We also estimate zero NH3 extended idle
emissions. NH3 emissions during extended idling and startsshould be minimal, due to little or no dosing of
urea in the SCR system because current technology diesels cannot maintain the required operational
exhaust temperature at extended low loads.50 We do not estimate NH3 emissions from auxiliary power unit
exhaust, which are not expected to have SCR systems. The remainder of this section discusses ammonia
running emissions.
Ammonia measurements were not part of the HDIUT program we used to estimate the THC, CO, NOx, and
PM2.5 emission rates from heavy-duty diesel and CNG vehicles, as described in Section 2. As such, we relied
on other data sources for developing heavy-duty NH3 emission rates for diesel vehicles. We compared
fleet-average heavy-duty vehicle NH3 emission rates reported in the literature to in-use studies as
summarized in Table 6-1.

Preble et al. (2019)139 measured NH3 emissions rates from heavy-duty vehicles at the Caldecott Tunnel
near Oakland, California in 2018. They sampled the concentrations of NH3 and C02from the exhaust
plumes of individual heavy-duty vehicles as they entered the tunnel at a 4% grade traveling between 30
and 75 mph. From the NH3 and C02 concentrations, they estimated NH3fuel-based emission rates using the
carbon content of diesel fuel. By matching license plate images to state truck registration databases, they
were able to obtain vehicle information, including engine model year and aftertreatment system. The
average emission rates by different mode year and aftertreatment groups are shown in Table 5-2.
Preble et al. (2019) measured NH3 emissions from 2010 and later trucks equipped with SCR systems. They
were able to collect over 900 diesel truck NH3 emissions measurements identified by engine model year
and aftertreatment system. Collecting a large sample is important for capturing the fleet-average emision
rates, because 10% of trucks contributed 95% of the total fleet NH3 emissions. The Preble et al. (2019)
study measured a large number of model year 1994-2006 retrofit DPF trucks due to the large number of
drayage trucks servicing the nearby Port of Oakland. Between 2010 and 2012, all California drayage trucks
were required to be equipped with diesel particulate filters.140 The average ammonia emission rates for
the pre-2010 model year groups are low and uncertain, which is consistent with measurements of heavy-
duty ammonia emissions made from the Caldecott Tunnel in 2006.141 The fleet-average heavy-duty diesel
emission rates for Preble et al. (2019) are shown in Table 5-1. The sample size is larger than that listed in
Table 5-2 because the fleet-average includes all heavy-duty diesel vehicles measured, including trucks that
were not matched to the vehicle registration database.

The University of Denver's research group has conducted two studies of heavy-duty diesel emissions
measured using their remote sensing device called the Fuel Efficiency Automobile Test (FEAT) system that
measures pollution concentrations across the roadway. Haugen et al. (2018)142 measured NH3 emissions
from heavy-duty vehicles at the exit ramp of the Peralta Weigh Station near Anaheim, California. They
separately sampled emissions from heavy-duty vehicles with the elevated exhaust pipes ("high" in Table
6-1), and ground-level exhaust pipes ("low" in Table 6-1). Additionally, they classified samples into
medium-duty (defined as vehicles with GVWR < 26,000 lbs, or class 2 through 6 vehicles), and heavy-duty
vehicles (GVWR > 26,000 lbs, or Class 7 and 8 vehicles). The "low" sample has a high percentage of
medium-duty vehicles which had lower NH3 emission rates, and newer heavy-duty vehicles which have
higher than average NH3 emission rates. The heavy-duty and medium-duty vehicles measured in Haugen et
al. (2018), are over 99% and 92% diesel vehicles, respectively, with the remainder being compressed
natural gas vehicles. The research measured a large increase in fleet-average NH3 emissions in the 2017
campaign compared to previous measurements made at the Peralta Weight Station in 2008, 2009, 2010
and 2012, due the penetration of SCR-equipped vehicles into the in-use fleet. The average for the 2010 and
later chassis model years from this study was 0.14 g/kg/fuel, while the older model year vehicles had NH3
rates near zero.
Bishop et al. (2022)143 measured emissions from heavy-duty vehicles at the Perry, Utah Port of Entry (~50
miles north of Salt Lake City) in December 2020. Bishop et al. (2022) separately measured heavy-duty
vehicles with "high" and "low" exhaust pipe positions. In this study, the "low" exhaust tailpipe trucks were
almost exclusively 2011 and later heavy-duty vehicles trucks, which had significantly higher NH3 than the
older trucks included in "high" exhaust tailpipe group. The "low HDV" group had a mean emission rate
similar to that estimated from Preble et al. 2019 for DPF+SCR equipped trucks. Bishop et al. (2020)
measured a smaller number of Class 4, 5, and 6 vehicles, for which the mean estimate was highly
uncertain.
Wang et al. (2019)144 measured fleet average NH3 emissions for a week in both February and July/August,
2015 from the Fort McHenry Tunnel, which is along the 1-95 corridor with a traffic volume of ~55,000
vehicles per day. They measured emission concentrations from two of the four bores that contain heavy-
duty vehicle traffic. The tunnel includes a -1.8% down grade, followed by a 3.3% positive grade to the exit
of the tunnel. Using the measured concentration and the fraction of heavy-duty vehicles, they estimated
220
-------
fuel-based NH3 emission rates for both light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles. Because this was the earliest
study conducted, we would expect the NH3 emission rates to be lowest from this study due to a smaller
fraction of SCR-diesel vehicles present in the fleet. The summer measurements are lower than the other
studies, however, the winter measurements are similar. In addition, the difference is not statistically
significant due to the large confidence intervals of the mean.
Despite the different measuring systems, locations, and sampling years, the fleet-average emission rates
are statistically similar among the different studies. This provides confidence that the fuel-based emission
rates reported from the studies are not strongly impacted by measurement methods or the sampling
conditions of the location.
We developed heavy-duty NH3 emission rates in MOVES using the reported fuel-based emission factors by
model year and aftertreatment class from Preble et al. (2019) reported in Table 5-2. We chose to use
Preble et al. (2019) because they reported the emission rates exclusively for heavy-duty vehicles by model
year ranges. In addition, we also used the Preble et al. (2019) study to update the MOVES N0/N02
fractions (Section 7.1) and N20 emission rates.
To develop MOVES heavy-duty diesel emission rates by regulatory class, model year, and operating mode,
we multiplied the MOVES3 heavy-duty diesel vehicle fuel-consumption rates by regulatory class, model
year, operating mode (Fuel Rates RegMY,op) by the Preble et al. (2019) fuel-based NH3 emission rates
(FERModeiYear Group) from Table 5-1 shown below in Equation 5-5.

Figure 5-1 shows example NH3 emission rates for the LHD2b3 and HHD regulatory class for model year
2017. Even though the fuel-based emission rate is the same, the gram per hour rate is larger for the HHD
regulatory class due to higher fuel consumption rates.
We replicated the NH3 emission rates for each heavy-duty regulatory class and model year across all
vehicle ages. This differs from the ammonia rates for light-duty gasoline NH3 where we had a much larger
data sample and were able to estimate age effects. Preble et al. (2019) collected measurements of NH3 in
only their most recent campaign. Haugen et al. (2018) collected several measurement campaigns at the
Peralta Weight station, but had a limited number of vehicles from which to estimate both model year and
age specific emission rates. We recommend future studies to evaluate the impact of aging, deterioration
and mal-maintenance on NH3from heavy-duty diesel vehicles.

We used the fuel-specific NH3 emission rates reported in Table 6-2 by the model year ranges consistent
with the measured data. We did not use the "DPF Retrofit MY 1994-2006" emission rates from Table 6-2 in
MOVES, because these are representative of California drayage trucks, but not of the national heavy-duty
vehicle fleet represented in MOVES. We used the fuel-based emission rates to develop emission rates for
all heavy-duty regulatory classes (LHD2b3, LHD45, MHD, HHD, Urban Bus). As shown in Table 6-1, there are
inconsistent results comparing medium and heavy-duty vehicles emission rates between the Haugen et al.
(2018), and Bishop et al. (2022) study, with medium-duty vehicles having both lower and higher emission
rates. The fleet-average differences are not statistically significant in both studies. In MOVES, the
differences in ammonia rates by regulatory class are impacted by the different fuel consumption rates. For
all model years of glider vehicles (regClassID 49), we used the 1965-2003 model year group to estimate
NH3 emission rates. A summary of the NH3 emission rates from MOVES across different regulatory classes
is shown in Section 5.4.
5.2 Heavy-Duty Gasoline
Like diesel vehicles, we estimate ammonia emissions only for the running emission process.
5.2.1 1950-1980 Model Years
The model year 1950-1981 heavy-duty gasoline ammonia emission rates are unchanged from MOVES2010
and documented in a MOVES2010 technical report.145 These rates were estimated by scaling the light-duty
gasoline ammonia emission rates by the ratio of light-duty gasoline emission rates from model year 1981-
1991 and heavy-duty gasoline vehicles measured in a 1983 EPA study.146

5.2.2 1981-2060 Model Years
The heavy-duty gasoline vehicle emission rates are based on the new fuel-based emission rates for light-
duty trucks. We assume that the fuel-based ammonia emission rates are similar between light-duty and
heavy-duty gasoline vehicles because the same ammonia formation pathway is present for both vehicles
types. In modern gasoline vehicles, ammonia is formed from the catalytic reduction of NO in the three-way
catalytic converter during fuel-rich conditions.
Limited data is available to evaluate this assumption. Livingston et al. (2009) 147 measured ammonia
emissions from vehicles recruited in southern California. On average, they measured higher gram per mile
ammonia rates from the six medium-duty gasoline vehicles than the 35 light-duty vehicles. They attributed
the higher ammonia emission rates from the medium-duty vehicles due to:
1. Larger exhaust volumes produced by the medium-duty vehicles
2. Less stringent emission standards, which would lead to higher precursor exhaust emissions
of NOx and CO
3. Potentially different catalyst activity
By estimating heavy-duty gasoline emission rates from light-duty gasoline vehicle fuel-based emission
rates, and heavy-duty gasoline fuel rates, we account for the larger exhaust volumes produced by heavy-
duty gasoline vehicles. While we do not account for items 2) and 3), which could lead to higher fuel-based
emission rates from heavy-duty gasoline vehicles, we believe our approach is reasonable given that heavy-
duty gasoline vehicles are anticipated to be a minor contributor of ammonia emissions in comparison to
light-duty gasoline vehicles.
The light-duty truck fuel-based ammonia emission rates are documented in the light-duty exhaust emission
rate report.12 The fuel-based emission rates are estimated for light-duty vehicles and light-duty trucks by
model year and vehicle age.
We estimated the ammonia emission rate for heavy-duty gasoline vehicles by multiplying the light-duty
truck fuel-specific emission rates by regulatory class, model year group, and age (LDT FERMYiage) by the
MOVES3 heavy-duty gasoline vehicle fuel-consumption rates by regulatory class, model year, operating
mode (HDG Fuel RatesRegMY,op) as shown in Equation 5-6.

blends of CNG fuel. In these cases, the gram per mile rates cited in Table 5-3 are those for L-CNG fuel (a
CNG blend produced from a liquified natural gas fuel tank), which most closely matches MOVES default
CNG fuel properties.
Karavalakis et al. (2013)152 tested a MY 2002 refuse hauler equipped with a lean-burn engine with
oxidation catalyst. This testing included many blends of CNG fuel over a single cycle (RTC cycle) that was
developed to be representative of typical refuse hauler operation, including engine load related to
compacting customer waste. Karavalakis et al. (2016a)154 performed similar testing with a MY 2011
stoichiometric waste hauler.
Karavalakis et al. (2016b)155 continued this work by testing a CNG school bus (MY 2005 lean-burn engine
with oxidation catalyst) and two Class 8 truck (MY 2012 and 2013 stoichiometric engine with EGR and TWC
systems). These vehicles were tested on a chassis dynamometer using cycles representative of typical
school bus operation or near-dock and local operation. Once again, several blends of CNG fuels were
tested.
Thiruvengadam et al. (2016)148 performed chassis dynamometer testing on five CNG vehicles: three Class 8
tractors, a refuse hauler and a transit bus. Table 5-3 presents an average of the results obtained for the
Class 8 tractors and results for the transit bus and refuse-hauler. The tests were done using some
regulatory cycles and other drive cycles representative of typical HD vehicle operation.
Zhu et al. (2024)150 carried out a study measuring tailpipe ammonia emissions from in-use goods
movement vehicles, including two Class 8 CNG trucks equipped with three-way catalysts. The study
measured vehicles following different routes representing goods movements in the South Coast Air Basin
using a mobile laboratory. Table 5-3 presents the range of g/mile emissions measured from both CNG
trucks.
Finally, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) requested a study led by University of
California Riverside and West Virginia University156 focused on measuring in-use emissions for a cohort of
200 heavy-duty vehicles with GVWR > 14,000 lbs. It included vehicles of different vocations (transit buses,
school buses, refuse trucks, delivery vehicles and goods movement vehicles) and measured their emissions
with laboratory tests and real-world onroad tests. EPA obtained data from this work through a
collaborative agreement; however, at the time of developing this update, the second-by-second NH3 data
was not available. At the recommendation of peer reviewers, we included average values across tests and
vehicles of different vocations measured under the UDDS cycle from this study; these values were derived
from vehicle-specific g/mile values provided in Appendix K of that report.

-------
We selected the g/mile emission rates from Table 5-3 we think are most representative of their respective
engine technology, accounting for a variety of factors, as the fleet-representative rates. We chose vehicles
which tend to be representative of the driving patterns of many types of HD vehicles while also covering
the full engine power and speed range of HD engines. Therefore we did not use any rates from refuse
haulers, which have unique operational patterns. We also focused on vehicles well within the model year
range of significant adoption of their engine technology. For example, we chose not to use the rates from
Thiruvengadam et al. because we believe they are from earlier models of stoichiometric engines and seem
to have higher emission rates than more modern stoichiometric engines. For stoichiometric engines, we
selected the goods distribution route from Zhu et al. as the most representative route, consistent with
their own determination where they write that "it is the most representative route of goods movement
vehicles in SCAB (South Coast Air Basin) whose activities include urban, highway, and loading/unloading
events." While this emission rate might be more representative of congested areas than operations
occuring in interstate highways, we prioritized the activity that is representative of urban cores and covers
the full range of engine speed and power. Future work will consider refining emission factors (for example,
adding vocational rates or developing operating-mode specific rates) as more detailed data becomes
available.
In updating MOVES with the chosen g/mile rates, we set the emission rates for HD CNG vehicles in the age
group in which they were tested (age group 10-14 for lean-burn vehicles and age group 4-5 for
stoichiometric engines). There is not enough data available across a broad range of vehicle ages to update
the deterioration trends for CNG ammonia emission rates. The peer reviewers in our MOVES5 peer review
noted that some testing showed ammonia emissions may decrease as vehicle ages because ammonia
emissions are driven by catalyst reactions. Given the uncertainty, we elected to model no deterioration in
CNG ammonia rates, such that CNG vehicles emit ammonia at the same rate regardless of vehicle age.
Because we did not have either the 1 Hz PEMS or dynamometer testing data needed to estimate emission
rates by operating mode, we applied the already existing operating mode trends, originally developed from
heavy-duty gasoline engines. Once again, as more detailed data becomes available, we will consider
performing further analysis to calculate CNG ammonia rates by operating mode from real-world CNG
vehicles.
Finally, since we have no data on extended idle emission rates for ammonia from CNG vehicles, we applied
the running idle emission rates (operating mode 1) for extended idle emissions. For lean-burn engines, we
use an extended idle rate of 139 mg/hour, compared to 290 mg/hourfor stoichiometric engines.

6 Heavy-Duty Crankcase Exhaust Emissions
Crankcase exhaust emissions, also referred to as crankcase blowby, are combustion gases that pass the
piston rings into the crankcase and are subsequently vented to the atmosphere. Crankcase blowby
includes oil-enriched air from the turbocharger shaft, air compressors, and valve stems that enters the
crankcase. The crankcase blowby contains combustion generated pollutants, as well as oil droplets from
the engine components and engine crankcase.157
6.1 Modeling Crankcase Emissions in MOVES
MOVES calculates crankcase emissions using two code modules: a gaseous and a particulate matter
crankcase emission calculator. Within these calculators, crankcase emissions are calculated in relationship
to tailpipe exhaust emissions. In MOVES, the tailpipe exhaust processes are running exhaust, start exhaust,
and extended idle exhaust (processID 1, 2, 90). The corresponding crankcase emission processes are
crankcase running exhaust, crankcase start exhaust, and crankcase extended idle exhaust (processID 15,
16, 17).
The gaseous crankcase calculator chains calculation of the crankcase emission rates to the tailpipe exhaust
emission rates for gaseous pollutants, but it does not change the tailpipe exhaust emission rates. On the
other hand, the particulate matter calculator has the ability to divide the particulate matter exhaust
emission rates stored in the emissionratebyage and emissionrate table into components representing the
contributions from tailpipe exhaust and crankcase emissions. Thus, the particulate ratios may be used to
adjust the particulate matter tailpipe exhaust emission rates to account for the crankcase contribution, as
was done in early versions of MOVES. In MOVES4 and later, however, the particulate matter tailpipe
exhaust emission rates only include tailpipe emissions and the exhaust ratios are set equal to one as shown
229
-------
in the subsequent sections for all model years, fuel types, regulatory classes and source types. More details
on the particulate matter crankcase calculator are provided in the MOVES Speciation Report.6
The crankcase ratios for non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC), NOx, and PM2.5 are used to estimate the
crankcase emissions for each subspecies that is chained to their respective primary pollutant as shown in
Table 6-1. The crankcase emission ratios for both gaseous and particulate matter pollutants are stored in
the crankcaseEmissionRatio table. The table stores the crankcase emission rates by pollutant, process,
model year, source type, regulatory class, and fuel type. Regulatory class was added as a primary field in
MOVES4, and the crankcase emission ratios were updated according to regulatory class. The table
structure and code retain the ability to model separate crankcase emission ratios by source type, but we
use the same crankcase emission ratios across different source types within the same fuel type, regulatory
class and model year.
The PM 10 crankcase emission rates are subsequently estimated from the PM2.5 exhaust and crankcase
emission rates using PM10/PM2.5 emission ratios as documented in the MOVES Speciation Report.6

By using crankcase to tailpipe emission ratios to estimate crankcase emission rates, MOVES implicitly
assumes that any increase in emissions due to aging and deterioration also occurs for crankcase emissions.
The data sets used to derive the crankcase emission rates for 2007 and later heavy-duty diesel engines are
based on engines and vehicles with relatively low miles and no expected deterioration in the emission
control system. If crankcase emissions do not exhibit the same increase in deterioration as tailpipe
emissions, this method would lead to an overestimation of crankcase emissions in older vehicles.
6.1.1 Heavy-Duty Diesel Crankcase Emissions
Crankcase emissions from pre-2007 diesel engines were typically vented to the atmosphere using an open
unfiltered crankcase system, referred to as a 'road draft tube'.157 Researchers have found that crankcase
emissions vented to the atmosphere can be the dominant source of diesel particulate matter
concentrations measured within the vehicle cabin.158 159 160
Starting in model year 2001, federal regulations require closed crankcase systems for chassis-certified
diesel vehicles.161 Federal regulations permit 2006-and-earlier engine-certified diesel vehicles equipped
with "turbochargers, pumps, blowers, or superchargers" to vent crankcase emissions to the atmosphere.162
Starting in model year 2007, federal regulations no longer permit crankcase emissions to be vented directly
to the atmosphere, unless they are included in the certification exhaust measurements.162 Many heavy-
duty diesel manufacturers have adopted open crankcase filtration systems in model year 2007 and later
230
-------
engines.157 These systems vent the exhaust gases to the atmosphere after the gases have passed a
coalescing filter which removes oil and a substantial fraction of the particles in the crankcase blowby.157 In
the ACES Phase 1 program, four MY 2007 diesel engines from major diesel engine manufactures
(Caterpillar, Cummins, Detroit Diesel, and Volvo) all employed filtered crankcase ventilation systems.163
A summary of published estimates of diesel crankcase emissions as percentages of the total emissions
(tailpipe + crankcase) are provided in Table 6-2. For the pre-2007 diesel technologies, hydrocarbon and
particulate matter emissions have the largest contributions from crankcase emissions. There is a
substantial decrease in PM2.s emissions beginning with the 2007 model year diesel engines. The
aftertreatment technologies required for 2007-and-later engines reduces the tailpipe emissions more than
the crankcase emissions, resulting in an increase in the relative crankcase contribution for THC, CO, and
PM2.5 emissions.

Note: The crankcase ratios shown here are a fraction of the total tailpipe and crankcase exhaust. The
crankcase ratios used in MOVES are a ratio of crankcase to tailpipe exhaust.
As discussed in the following subsections, we developed crankcase emission ratios by regulatory class and
model years groups using the available studies in Table 6-2, and additional information on requirements
for closed crankcase systems. The data on crankcase emissions are limited. The gaseous crankcase
emission rates for heavy-duty diesel vehicles are based on three studies in Table 6-2, totaling only seven
vehicles. As such, the rates have considerable, but unquantified, uncertainties.
6.1.2 LHD2b3 Crankcase Emissions
After 2001, all chassis-certified vehicles, including diesel vehicles, are required to avoid venting crankcase
emissions into the atmosphere.161 All LHD2b3 vehicles in MOVES are chassis-certified vehicles because the
small number of engine-certified LHD2b3 vehicles are classified as LHD45 vehicles as discussed Section 1.4.
MOVES uses two model year groups for crankcase emissions from LHD2b3 diesel vehicles. Model year
1960 to 2000 vehicles use the open crankcase ratios estimated for engine-certified vehicles as detailed in
231
-------
Section 6.1.3.1. For model year 2001 to 1960 we estimate zero crankcase ratios because all chassis-
certified diesel vehicles are required to have closed crankcase systems.
6.1.3 LHD45, MHD and HHD Crankcase Emissions
Diesel vehicles within the LHD45, MHD, and HHD regulatory classes are composed of 100% engine-certified
vehicles, which are permitted to emit crankcase emissions after model year 2007 if they are accounted for
in the engine-certification results. The crankcase emission rates for the engine-certified vehicles are
estimated by regulatory class and model year groups, to capture differences in crankcase emission ratios
reported from different studies, account for differences in the crankcase control in 2007 and later model
years, and to account for changes in tailpipe exhaust emissions which impact the crankcase to tailpipe
emission ratios.
6.1,3,1 1950-2006 Model Years
Table 6-3 displays the crankcase/tailpipe emission ratios used for pre-2007 diesel exhaust. For THC, CO,
and NOx, we selected the values measured on the MY 2006 diesel engine reported by Clark et al. 2006.165
These values compare well with the previous HC, CO, NOx values reported much earlier by Hare and Baines
(1977),166 which represent much older diesel technology. The similarity of the crankcase emission ratios
across several decades of diesel engines suggests that for pre-2007 diesel engines, crankcase emissions can
be reasonably well represented as a fraction of the exhaust emissions. The THC crankcase ratios presented
in Table 6-3 are also used for methane, total organic gases (TOG), non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC) and
all the pollutants chained to NMHC listed in Table 6-1.
For PM2.5 emissions, we use a crankcase/tailpipe ratio of 20 percent. The 20 percent ratio falls within the
range of observations from the literature on diesel PM emissions. Zielinska et al. 2008158 and Ireson et al.
2011159 reported crankcase contributions to total PM2.5 emissions as high as 40 percent. Jaaskelainen
(2012)157 reported that crankcase can contribute as much as 20 percent of the total emissions from a
review of six diesel crankcase studies. Similarly, an industry report estimated that crankcase emissions
contributed 20 percent of total particulate emissions from 1994-2006 diesel engines.167 The crankcase
emission ratios shown Table 6-3 are applied to running, start and extended idle exhaust to estimate the
corresponding crankcase exhaust emissions.

the literature
232
-------
As outlined in the MOVES Speciation Report, MOVES does not apply the crankcase/tailpipe emission ratio
in Table 6-3 to the total exhaust PM2.5 emissions. MOVES applies crankcase/tailpipe emission ratios to
PM2.5 subspecies: elemental carbon PM2.5, sulfate PM2.5, aerosol water PM2.5, and the remaining PM
(nonECnonS04PM). This allows MOVES to account for important differences in the PM speciation between
tailpipe and crankcase emissions. Tailpipe exhaust from pre-2007 diesel engines is dominated by elemental
carbon emissions from combustion of the diesel fuel, while crankcase emissions are dominated by organic
carbon emissions largely contributed by the lubricating oil.158,159 Zielinska et al. 2008158 reported that the
EC/PM fraction of crankcase emissions from two pre-2007 diesel buses is 1.57 percent.
To account for the different speciation of exhaust and crankcase emissions, the crankcase emission factors
for PM species shown in Table 6-4 have been back-calculated such that the total crankcase PM2.5 emissions
are 20 percent of the PM2 5 exhaust measurements (consistent with Table 6-3) and have an EC/PM split of
1.57 percent. The start and extended idle crankcase ratios are the same, because the pre-2007 start and
extended idle exhaust EC/PM are the same ( both 46.4% as documented in Section 2.2.2 and Section
2.3.1). The running exhaust EC/PM ratio is 79% (Section 2.1.2.1.8).
The tailpipe exhaust fractions are set equal to 1 because the tailpipe emission rates are not assumed to
include any crankcase emissions. In other words, the crankcase emissions are estimated in addition to the
tailpipe emissions.

As discussed in the background section above, the 2007 heavy-duty diesel emission regulations impacted
the technologies used to control exhaust and crankcase emissions. The regulations also expanded the
types of emissions data included in certification tests by including crankcase emissions in the regulatory
standards which previously included only tailpipe emissions. Because heavy-duty diesel engine
manufacturers are using open-filtration crankcase systems, the crankcase emissions are included in the
emission certification results. In MOVES, the base exhaust rates for 2007 to 2009 diesel engines are based
on certification test results for PM2.5 as discussed in this section.
233
-------
The crankcase ratios for 2007-2009 HDD emissions are based on the ACES Phase 1 study163, which tested
four MY 2007 engines from different manufactures (Caterpillar, Cummins, Detroit Diesel and Volvo). The
ACES Phase 1 engines and exhaust control systems were new, and underwent 125 hours of "degreening"
before the test program. Thus, they represent low-mileage, properly functioning heavy-duty diesel engine
emissions. In reporting the emission rates, the engines were anonymized as A, B, C, D and a backup engine
B' which was tested at a secondary site. The B' backup engine is the same make, model as engine B. The
ACES study conducted hot FTP cycles that sampled tailpipe exhaust emissions and repeat tests that
sampled combined tailpipe and crankcase exhaust. The crankcase emission rates for each engine were
estimated by calculating the difference between the average emissions measured with and without
crankcase emissions routed into the sampling system as shown in Equation 6-1, where average emissions
are the total mass divided by the testing time.

Then the crankcase emission rates were averaged together in Equation 6-2 with the backup engine being
treated as additional tests of engine B.

Since ACES Phase 1 hot-FTP contained a hot-start we assume starts are accounted for in the running
values, and thus for these model years, the crankcase ratio for starts is zero. Note that for similar 2010+
vehicles, where cold start crankcase emissions were measured, positive crankcase starts were measured
for only for CO as discussed in Section 6.1.3.3. And, for extended idle, based upon data from 2010+ HDD
vehicles using the same crankcase technology that show the crankcase emission rates for extended idling
are similar to the running rates, we use the hot-FTP rates from ACES Phase 1 for the crankcase extending
idling rates. The crankcase rates for running, starts and extended idle are listed in Table 6-5.
Equation 6-3 is used to calculate TOG crankcase emissions from the methane and NMHC crankcase values,

We then calculated the crankcase ratios for use in MOVES using the MOVES MY 2007-2009 exhaust base
rates for all diesel HHD vehicles (regClass 47) weighted by the activity of short and long-haul single-unit
and combination trucks (source types 52,53,61,62) in each operating mode estimated from a preliminary
MOVES3 national scale run. The values for ExhaustMOvES are listed in Table 6-6. The extended idle rates
are based on a single operating mode in MOVES. We used the HHD diesel emission rates to match the HHD
engines tested in the ACES Phase 1 program. We then used Equation 6-5 to estimate the base crankcase to
tailpipe exhaust ratio for 2007-2009 HD vehicles.

We assume that crankcase emissions are proportional to the tailpipe exhaust emissions across regulatory
classes and source types. As such, we use the CCratio base to derive the crankcase ratio for all heavy-duty
diesel regulatory classes and source types. The heavy-duty base crankcase ratios are shown in Table 6-8.
As mentioned in the background section, many manufactures employ an open crankcase ventilation
system with a coalescing filter, but a substantial fraction opt for a closed crankcase system where the
crankcase vapors are either routed into the engine with the fuel injection or into the exhaust stream
upstream of the aftertreatment. For developing crankcase emission ratio estimates, we model heavy-duty
diesel closed crankcase systems as having zero crankcase emissions, and reduce the base open crankcase
emission ratios to account for the fraction of open crankcase systems in the vehicle fleet.
Available certification data on the prevalence of open and closed crankcase systems was incomplete at the
time of analysis, but the available data suggested that most manufacturers use either open or closed
235
-------
systems for all their engines in a given model year. We assumed that any engine family listed in the
certification data with missing crankcase information was of the same type as all other engine families in
that model year for that manufacturer. This was our best assumption based on the available data, despite
finding one conflict.46 We then used manufacturer production volume data from 2016-2018 (complete
data for earlier years was not available) to weight the number of open and closed systems within each
regulatory class as shown in Table 6-7. In these model years, there were between 9 and 10 engine
manufacturers which produced heavy-duty engines, with between 34 and 41 certified engine families.
Using this method, we estimated that 0% of LHD engines, 90.5% of medium heavy-duty and 67% of HHD
engines have open crankcase systems. The average value across the 2016-2017 model years and by
regulatory classes was used for all 2007 and later engines.47

Finally, to estimate the MY 2007-2009 crankcase emission ratios for MOVES, we assume that crankcase
emissions are proportional to the exhaust emissions across each of the engine-certified regulatory classes
and source types. To estimate the crankcase emission ratio for each regulatory class, we multiplied the
open crankcase ratio, CCratio base, by the open crankcase fraction of each heavy-duty regulatory class,
OpenCCfrac,regciass as shown in Equation 6-6.
CCratio,regClass,modelyear — CCratio.base * OpenCCfrac Equation 6-6
Where:
• CCratio,regCiass,model year= the crankcase ratio used in MOVES by regulatory class and
model year
• CCratio,base= the heavy-duty open crankcase ratio calculated from Equation 6-5
• OpenCCfrac regCiass= the fraction of open crankcase systems by regulatory class
determined from certification data and manufacture production volume as shown in Table
6-7
46 One of the engine manufacturers that we assumed produced closed crankcase systems for all of its 2007 and later
model year engines based on certification data produced one of the open crankcase MY 2007 engine tested in the
ACES Phase 1 program.
47 We recognize the uncertainties in applying open crankcase values from model year 2016-2018 engines to model
year 2007-2009 engines. However, the larger uncertainty in the crankcase emission rates is driven by the measured
crankcase emission rates. Assuming an HHD open crankcase percentage of 67% decreased the crankcase tailpipe
emission rates by roughly one third, which is well within the range of variability of emissions observed in the ACES
Phase 1 crankcase emission results.

A C02 is not included in the MOVES crankcaseEmissionRatio table, in part due to its small fraction
compared to running exhaust C02. It is included here for comparison with other pollutants.
238
-------
For PM2.5 emissions, MOVES applies crankcase ratios to each of the intermediate PM2.5 species (EC,
nonECnonS04PM, S04, and H20). The MOVES PM2.5 speciation profile developed from the ACES Phase 1
study combined the crankcase and tailpipe emissions. As such, we model crankcase emissions as having
the same speciation as tailpipe emissions, and the crankcase fractions for the intermediate PM2.5 species in
Table 6-9 are the same as derived for total PM2.5 in Table 6-8. In MOVES4, we set the tailpipe ratios for
model year 2007-2009 equal to one because we now assume that the tailpipe emission factors only include
tailpipe exhaust. This approach was taken because the 2007-2009 model year running PM2.5 emission rates
are based on assumed reductions from MY 1998-2006 vehicles based on certification data (See Section
2.1.2.1.7). Assuming the resulting running PM emission rates in 2007-2008 only include tailpipe exhaust
was deemed equally valid as our previous assumption, and simplifies the calculation of crankcase
emissions by keeping all tailpipe ratios in the crankcase calculator equal to one. The extended idle
emissions for model year 2007-2009 are based on tailpipe measurements only, and using a extended idle
ratio equal to one is consistent with the measured data. The peer-reviewers comments from the MOVES3
crankcase review agreed with this update.168
The crankcase emission ratios for MHD regulatory class for the intermediate PM species are the same as
total PM2.5 (0.039 for running and 0.394 for extended idle) as shown in Table 6-8.

6.1,3,3 2010-2026 Model Years
The HDIUT program (see Section 2.1.1.2) is used as the source of baseline exhaust emission rates for model
year 2010-2026 diesel vehicles. As the HDIUT program measures tailpipe exhaust emissions from trucks in-
use, the crankcase is not routed to the tailpipe and therefore not accounted for in the data. To account for
crankcase emissions for 2010 and later diesel vehicles, we used direct crankcase measurements of NOx,
THC, CH4, and CO emissions from the US EPA's National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory (NVFEL)
testing of two heavy duty trucks (MY 2015 and MY 2019). Each of the trucks had less than 10,000 miles and
represent properly functioning low-mileage heavy-duty vehicles. Testing was conducted on a chassis
dynamometer over a drive cycle that consists of a hot or cold start followed by an ARB transient cycle
(Phase 1), followed by four repetitions of the same ARB transient (Phase 2), 10 minutes of idling (Phase 3),
239

and steady-state highway activity at 55 mph and 60 mph (Phase 4). The speed trace and a graphical
indication of the testing phases are shown in Figure 6-1.

The average running rate was calculated by calculating a weighted average between Phase 2 (36.7%) and
Phase 4 (63.3%). The phase-weighting was calculated to match the national running operating mode
distribution for MY2015, HHD diesel vehicles in short- and long-haul single-unit and combination trucks
(source type 52,53,61,62) as estimated in a MOVES national run using a draft version of MOVES3 for
calendar year 2015.72 Phase 2 had transient operation below 50 mph and was mapped to operating modes
0-30 (36.7% of total activity) and Phase 4 had constant high speed data and was mapped to operating-
modes 33-40 (63.3% of total activity) as shown in Table 6-12. HHD diesel vehicles in short- and long-haul
single-unit and combination trucks vehicles were chosen as to match the NVFEL testing vehicles.

The average start rate was calculated by taking the difference between time-based emission rates (g/hr) of
Phase 1 and Phase 2 of each test and averaging the differences together as shown in Equation 6-7 and
multiplying by the length of Phase 1.
£,n=i(CCphaselJ -CCphase2J) / 1 hour \ Equation 6-7
CCstart = x 11 minutes x f
n
/ 1 Hour \
\60 minutes)
Where:
• CCstart= average crankcase (g/start) emission from all the test runs
• CCphase i,j = crankcase (g/hr) emission rate from test run j and Phase 1
• n= the number of tests (13)
In the case of THC and NOx, Equation 6-7 yielded negative start emission rates, because the average Phase
2 (g/hr) emission rates for these pollutants are higher than the Phase 1 (g/hr) emission rates. There are
physical explanations that can lead to an observed increase in crankcase emission rates in Phase 2.
Lubricating oil and diesel fuel in the crankcase can evaporate as the engine block heats during operation,
which is measured as THC and PM2.5 if the vapors condense upon dilution. For NOx emissions, the engine-
out emissions during the start period can be lower than running period, due to lower air-fuel ratios and
lower in-cylinder temperatures. In fact, MOVES models zero NOx tailpipe starts for pre-2010 heavy-duty
diesel trucks based on observations of negative start emission rates as discussed in Section 2.2.1.2. Thus,
we set the start crankcase emission rate to zero for THC and NOx. The average CH4 start emission rate was
positive, but because methane is estimated in MOVES as a fraction of THC, we also set it equal to zero as
shown in Table 6-13. For the crankcase extended idling rate we used the average of emissions in the idling
phase (Phase 3).
These rates also informed the base crankcase rates for NMHC and TOG. We used Equation 6-3 to calculate
TOG crankcase emissions, with the MOVES NMOG/NMHC ratio for 2010+ diesel running exhaust (1.085)
from the hcspeciation table in MOVES.6
The crankcase rates are ratioed to the tailpipe emissions from the HDIUT vehicles from the model year
2010-2013 and 2014+ NOx FEL 0.2 groups (See Table 2-7) for each pollutant. These vehicles were chosen as
they comprise the majority of the fleet in most model years (See Figure 2-12). The HDIUT data are used
instead of the tailpipe values from the NVFEL test trucks because 1) they are the basis of the MOVES
tailpipe emission rates, 2) we have much more confidence in the mean HDIUT tailpipe emission rates than
the mean tailpipe emission rates from the two NVEL test-trucks to represent fleet-average rates, and 3) the
variability of the tailpipe measurements from the NVFEL vehicles is generally much greater than the
variability of the crankcase measurements, including for THC emissions.169 Thus, by using tailpipe emissions
from MOVES, we yield more stable crankcase ratios.
The ratios for NMHC, TOG, and NOx are applied to the pollutants chained to them as well (Table 6-1).

No PM2.5 crankcase emission measurements were made in the NVFEL study, so the 2010 and later model
year calculations use the crankcase PM2.5 rates from ACES Phase 1 report as described for model years
2007-2009 in Section 0. More information on the PM calculations for model year 2010 and later vehicles is
provided later in this section.
We used the base exhaust emission rates from the NOx FEL 0.2 group for HHD engines in short and long-
haul single-unit and combination trucks (source types 52,53,61,62). These vehicles were chosen from the
full HDIUT data set to match the NVFEL testing vehicles.

The HHD tailpipe rates have two model year groups 2010-2013 and 2014+, so the ratios differ for these
model year groups as shown in Table 6-15.
As was done for the development of the 2007-2009 crankcase emission ratios documented in Section
6.1.3.2 we assume that the crankcase ratios derived for MY2010-2026 heavy heavy-duty diesel (HHD)
engines apply to the other heavy-duty regulatory classes (LHD45, MHD and Urban Bus) and source types
(other buses, transit buses, school buses, refuse trucks, and motorhomes), and that crankcase emissions
are proportional to the exhaust emissions across regulatory classes and source use types. Additionally, we
use Equation 6-6 to account for the fraction of open crankcase systems within each regulatory class shown
in Table 6-7.

As noted above, the PM2.5 crankcase emission ratios are calculated using the ACES Phase 1 crankcase
emission rates (MY 2007) and the PM2.5 exhaust rates from the 2010-2013 and 2014+ NOx FEL 0.2 groups.
As the tailpipe PM2.5 exhaust emission rates are based upon in-use tailpipe testing for 2010+, the tailpipe
ratio for all processes is 1, and the crankcase PM2.5 ratio is a simple fraction of the tailpipe emissions as
shown in Table 6-16 for MHD and HHD diesel vehicles. The fraction for LHD is zero, consistent with Table
6-15. Since PM2.5 uses ACES Phase 1 data, starts emissions are assumed to be included in the running and
the crankcase starts are set to zero.

6.1,3,4 2027-2060 Model Years
For MY2027 and later vehicles, the HD2027 standards require manufacturers to use one of two options for
controlling crankcase emissions, either: 1) closing the crankcase, or 2) an updated version of the current
247
-------
requirements for an open crankcase that includes additional requirements for measuring and accounting
for crankcase emissions.
In the emissions impact analysis of the HD2027 rule, we assumed that closing the crankcase would be the
preferred option to meet the standards. We revised the crankcase emission rates accordingly by setting
the crankcase emission rates for MY2027+ HHD, MHD and LHD45 diesel vehicles to zero.
6.1.4 Glider Crankcase Emissions
Glider vehicles in MOVES are modeled using emission rates from MY 2000 heavy-duty diesel engines
(Section 2.5); the pre-2007 crankcase rates (Table 6-8 and Table 6-9) are applied to glider vehicles
(regClassID 49) for all model years.
6.2 Heavy-Duty Gasoline and CNG Crankcase Emissions
The data on heavy-duty gasoline and CNG crankcase emissions are limited. All 1969 and later spark ignition
heavy-duty engines are required to control crankcase emissions. All gasoline engines are assumed to use
positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) systems, which route the crankcase gases into the intake manifold. For
heavy-duty gasoline engines we use the same values of crankcase emission ratios as light-duty gasoline as
shown in Table 6-17; these are documented in the MOVES light-duty emission rates report.12 The HD2027
standards do not affect heavy-duty gasoline and CNG fueled engines since the rule only affects the
crankcase emissions from the compression-ignition (diesel) heavy-duty engines.
For the 1969 and later vehicles, we assume 4 percent of PCV systems fail, which would cause increased
tailpipe emissions for reasons such as misfiring of the engine, lubricating oil in the intake manifold, and
increased deterioration of the three-way catalyst. Although these processes will increase tailpipe
emissions, in MOVES we model this increase of emissions due to a failed PCV as crankcase emissions. We
assume that the elevated emissions due to a failed PCV system would be equivalent to the crankcase
emissions of a pre-1969 vehicles using Equation 6-8. The resulting fleet-wide crankcase to exhaust
emission ratios for 1969 and later vehicles are shown in Table 6-17.
Crankcase Ratioiy6y+ = PCV failure rate (4%) x Crankcase Ratioprel969 Equation 6-8

Due to limited information, we used the gasoline heavy-duty crankcase emission factors for heavy-duty
CNG engines because the majority of these engines are spark-ignited. However, at least one study (Clark et
al., 2017)170 suggests that CNG vehicles have open crankcase systems so we may be underestimating
248
-------
crankcase emissions, especially those of methane. We hope to revisit CNG crankcase emissions in future
versions of MOVES.
The crankcase and exhaust ratios used by the crankcase calculator for PM25 emissions from heavy-duty
gasoline and compressed natural gas vehicles are provided in Table 6-18. These values are applied to
calculate crankcase emissions associated with start exhaust as well as to running exhaust. No information
is available to estimate separate speciation between exhaust and crankcase, so the factors are the same
for all PM subspecies.

7 Nitrogen Oxide Composition
This section discusses the values used to estimate nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (N02) and nitrous acid
(HONO) from nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from heavy-duty vehicles. A similar section on NOx
composition from light-duty emissions is included in the light-duty emissions report. NOx emissions are
reported in mass-equivalent space of N02. In other words, the molar mass of N02 (46 g/mole) is used to
calculate grams of NOx from the molar concentration of NOx.
Nitrogen oxides (NOx) are defined as NO + N02.171,172 NOx is considered a subset of reactive nitrogen
species (NOy) with a nitrogen oxidation state of +2 or greater which contain other nitrogen containing
species (NOz), thus NOy= NOx+ NOz.171 NOz compounds are formed in the atmosphere as oxidation
products of NOx.172
Chemiluminescent analyzers used for exhaust NOx measurements directly measure NO, as NO is oxidized
by ozone to form N02 and produces florescent light. Chemiluminescent analyzers measure NOx (NO + N02)
by using a catalyst that reduces the N02to NO in the sample air stream before measurement. N02 is
calculated as the difference between NOx and NO measurements. The NOx converter within
chemiluminescent analyzers can also reduce other reactive nitrogen species (NOz), including HONO to NO.
If the concentrations of NOz-interfering species in the sample stream are significant relative to N02
concentrations, then they can bias the N02 measurements high.173
249
-------
MOVES estimates NO and N02 by applying an NO/NOx or N02/N0Xfraction to the NOx emission rates. The
NO/NO2 and N02/NOx fractions are stored in a MOVES table called nono2ratio. The nono2ratio enables the
nitrogen oxide composition to vary according to source type, fuel type, model year, and pollutant process.
However, the current NOx fractions in MOVES vary only according to fuel type, model year, and emission
process.
MOVES also estimates one important NOz species, nitrous acid (HONO), from the NOx values. HONO
emissions are estimated as a fraction (0.8 percent) of NOx emissions from all vehicle types in MOVES,
based on HONO and NOx measurements made at a road tunnel in Europe.174 HONO emissions are also
estimated using the nono2ratio MOVES table. For each source type, fuel type, and emission process, the
NO, N02, and HONO values in the nono2ratio sum to one. Future work could be conducted to update
MOVES to model NOx and HONO fractions according to regulatory class.
MOVES users should be aware that the definition of NOx in MOVES (NO+NO2+HONO) is different than the
standard NOx definition of NOx (NO + N02). In MOVES, we include HONO in the NOx values, because the
chemiluminescent analyzers are biased slightly high by HONO in the exhaust stream, and HONO is formed
almost immediately upon dilution into the roadway environment from N02 emissions. To avoid
overcounting reactive nitrogen formation, we include HONO in the sum of NOx in MOVES. MOVES users
should consider which measure they would like to use depending on their use-case. For example, for
comparing NOx results with a vehicle emission test program, MOVES users may want to simply use NOx
(pollutantID 3), whereas MOVES users developing air quality inputs of NOx, N02, and HONO, may estimate
NOx as the sum of NO + N02 (pollutantlDs 32 and 33), rather than using the direct NOx output in MOVES
(polluantID 3).
7.1 Heavy-Duty Diesel
The heavy-duty diesel NO/NOx, N02/NOx,and HONO/NOx fractions were updated in MOVES4 using data
reported from recent emission studies, as described below. We summarized N02/N0Xfractions from three
recent studies by aftertreatment technology and model year range shown in Table 7-1.
Preble et al. (2019)139 sampled individual heavy-duty vehicle exhaust plumes at the entrance to the
Caldecott Tunnel near Oakland, California and at the Port of Oakland for multiple years. The data from
Preble et al. (2019) are also used to update the NH3 emission rates as discussed in Section 5.1, however
NH3 was only measured in 2018 at the Caldecott TunnelwhileNO and N02 were measured at both locations
for multiple years. Thirugengadam et al. (2015)50 conducted exhaust sampling of five heavy-duty diesel
vehicles measured on four different driving cycles used to represent goods movement in Southern
California. Quiros et al. (2016)48 sampled six heavy-duty diesel tractors hauling a mobile emissions
laboratory trailer. They sampled the vehicles along six routes intended to represent goods movement in
Southern California. The Advanced Collaborative Emissions Study conducted by Khalek et al. (2009)46 and
(2013)175, tested four model year 2007 and three model year 2010 heavy-duty diesel engines using an
engine dynamometer.
The N02/NOx fraction measured by aftertreatment technology and model year ranges are quite consistent
across the four different studies. This suggests that the N02/NOx obtained from the plume capture
measurements in Preble et al. (2019)139 are relevant for the wide range of operation conditions sampled in
Thirugengadam et al. (2015)50 and Quiros et al. (2016).48
Each of the studies showed that the N02/NOx increased with the introduction of diesel particulate filters
(DPF) in model years 2007-2009. This is expected because DPF aftertreatment systems are designed to
250
-------
increase the fraction of N02to facilitate passive regeneration of the DPF. A diesel oxidation catalyst
upstream of the DPF oxides NO to N02 which then oxidize soot collected on the filter.176 The DPF+SCR
aftertreatment systems introduced with MY 2010 and later engines also have higher N02/N0X fractions
than pre-DPF engines but are consistently lower than the DPF only engines.

We used the NO/NOxand N02/N0Xfractions from the Caldecott Tunnel (Preble et al., 2019).139 For model
years 2004-2010, the updated values are similar to the values used in previous versions of MOVES. For
model years earlier and later, the MOVES4 N02/NOx values are lower.
We did not use the DPF retrofit values because these are representative of California drayage vehicles
starting in 2010, but not the nation-wide fleet of heavy-duty pre-2007 vehicles.
MOVES3 and earlier versions use a HONO fraction of 0.8% obtained from Kurtenbach et al. (2001).174
251
-------
Table 7-2 summarizes HONO/NOx ratios from a 2023 literature review. Studies that measure HONO often
don't measure individual vehicle exhaust, thus isolating the diesel specific HONO ratio is difficult. MOVES
continues to use the value of 0.8% since it is well-within the range of the diesel-only HONO/NOx
measurements.

Table 7-3 shows the NOx and HONO fractions for heavy-duty diesel vehicles used in MOVES. Vehicle model
years subject to the HD2027 rule use the same fractions as model years 2010-2026, and APU exhaust
fractions are the same for all model years 2024 and later. The NO/NOxand N02/NOxfractions reported in
Preble et al. (2019) were renormalized to account for the 0.8 percent HONO emissions. The NOx fractions
are the same across all diesel source types and across all emission processes (running, start, extended idle),
except for auxiliary power units, which use the conventional NOxfractions (1950-2003) for all 1950-2023
model years because it is assumed that these APUs are not fitted with diesel particulate filters. APU
exhaust rates for the model year range 2024-2060 use the same NOx fractions as model year 2007-2009
running exhaust, because we assume they will be equipped with DPF systems but not SCR systems.
Because the nono2ratio table is classified by source type, and not regulatory class, gliders use the same
NO/N02 fractions as the other regulatory classes by model year, even though the 1960-2003 NOx fractions
are more relevant for this regulatory class. We hope to address this design limitation in future versions of
MOVES.
Finally, while the HD2027 rule as updated in MOVES4 will reduce NOxemissions from MY 2027+ HD
gasoline vehicles, we modelled no change in the NO/NO2 fractions.

7.2 Heavy-Duty Gasoline
The NOx fractions for heavy-duty gasoline are based on the MOVES values used for light-duty gasoline
estimates. Separate values are used for running and start emission processes. As stated in the MOVES2010
report/82 the light-duty values are shifted to later model year groups to be consistent with heavy-duty
emission standards and emission control technologies. These values are shown in Table 7-4 for both light-
duty and heavy-duty gasoline vehicles. The N02fractions originally developed for MOVES2010 were
reduced by 0.008 to account for the HONO emissions.182 While the HD2027 rule will reduce NOxemissions
from HD gasoline vehicles, we modelled no change in the NOx fractions for MY 2027+.

We used the average N02/ NOx fractions reported from three CNG transit buses with DDC Series 50 G
engines by Lanni et al. (2003)126 with the 0.008 HONO fraction assumed for other fuel types, to estimate
the NOx fractions of NO, N02, and HONO. These assumptions yield the values in Table 7-5, which are used
for CNG heavy-duty vehicles of all model years. In the future, we hope to update these values with data
from more recent three-way catalyst CNG vehicles.48

B. Tampering and Mal-maintenance for Diesel Running Exhaust
Tampering and mal-maintenance (T&M) effects represent the fleet-wide average increase in emissions as
the fleet ages. In laboratory testing, properly maintained engines often yield very small rates of emissions
deterioration through time. We assume that in real-world use, tampering and mal-maintenance dominate
emissions deterioration over time for heavy-duty diesel vehicles. As a result, MOVES specifically models
the deterioration due to tampering and mal-maintenance, which we assume also includes any other
emission increases due to vehicle aging and deterioration.
The tampering and mal-maintenance methodology was first incorporated into MOVES2010183 from studies
conducted between 1988 and 2007 (See Section B.2.) Slight updates to NOx and PM25T&M adjustment
factors were made for MOVES2014.34 No changes were made to the T&M assumptions or data between
MOVES2014 and MOVES3. Minor corrections to the warranty and useful life of LHD vehicles were made in
MOVES4. In MOVES4, we also updated the warranty and useful life of the MY2027+ heavy-duty vehicles
based on the HD2027 standards and we calculated new T&M percentage effects for these vehicles that
assume aftertreatment failure in a MY2027 vehicle would bring NOxtailpipe emissions to the same level as
a MY 2010 vehicle with the same failure. For MOVES5 we made minor corrections and clarifications to the
tampering documentation here and in the main body of this report.
In the future, T&M adjustment factors in MOVES should be re-evaluated and updated, particularly to
incorporate data on the durability and emissions performance of advanced aftertreatment systems on
modern heavy-duty diesel vehicles and to account for recent work surveying intentional tampering in
diesel trucks.184
This section describes the derivation of T&M emission rates applied to diesel running exhaust. The
estimation of heavy-duty gasoline deterioration is discussed in the derivation of the heavy-duty gasoline
rates (Section 3). The derivation of the T&M effects for diesel extended idle emissions are described in
Section 2.3.
B.l Modeling Tampering and Mal-maintenance
As T&M affects emissions through age, we developed a simple function of emission deterioration with age.
New vehicles and engines have zero-mile emission rates for each operating mode and maintain that rate
until the age of the vehicle/engine matches the warranty period. Once the warranty period ends, the
256
-------
emission rate increases linearly until the vehicle/engine reaches its useful life age. At the end of the useful
life, the emissions rates remain constant at a level calculated from the tampering & mal-maintenance
(T&M) adjustment factor. Figure B-l shows this relationship. The actual emission levels were determined
through data analysis detailed below.
period
Figure B-l Qualitative Depiction of the Implementation of Age Effects
The T&M adjustment factor is calculated as the sum of the product of the T&M frequency for each failure i,
and the corresponding T&M emission effect, as shown in Equation 8-1.
^T&M,p = X (T&M frequency; X T&M emission effectp i) Equation 8-1
Where:
• ^t&m= the tampering and mal-maintenance adjustment factor for pollutant p
• T&M frequency; = estimated fleet average frequency of a tampering & mal-
maintenance failure i.
• T&M emission effectp estimated emission effect for pollutant p associated with
tampering & mal-maintenance failure i.
The emission rate at the end of useful life is then calculated using Equation 8-2.
257
-------
Ef^End of useful life,p,r,o ERZero mile,p,r,o ^ ^T&M.p) Equation 8 2
Where:
• EREnd of useful iife,p,r,o = the heavy-duty diesel emission rate at the end of warranty for
each pollutant p, regulatory class, r, and operating mode, o
• ERzero mjig= the zero-mile heavy-duty diesel emission rate for each pollutant p, regulatory
class, r, and operating mode, o
• fT&M= the tampering and mal-maintenance adjustment factor for each pollutant p
(Equation 8-1)
The useful life refers to the length of time that engines are required to meet emissions standards. We
incorporated this age relationship by averaging emissions rates across the ages in each age group. Mileage
was converted to age with VIUS185 (Vehicle Inventory and Use Survey) data, which contains data on how
quickly trucks of different regulatory classes accumulate mileage. Table B-l shows the emissions warranty
period and approximate useful life requirement period for each of the regulatory classes for pre-MY2027
vehicles. This table and the resulting values in MOVES were corrected in MOVES4 to reflect the 50,000
miles warranty requirement for LHD vehicles, and the 150,000 useful life mileage for Tier 3 LHD2b3
vehicles.

aThe calculated warranty age and useful life age here are based on typical miles driven by vehicles in the
regulatory class. For example, HHD vehicles typically accumulate a large number of miles per year
(100,000+/year). Thus, HHD vehicles complete their warranty and useful life requirements based on
mileage while the vehicle age is still much below the requirement.

d 40 CFR 86.1805-17
e 40 CFR 86.001-2 (4). The useful life mileage is the same for each regulatory class for all exhaust
pollutants (NOx, HC, CO, and PM). The useful life age requirement is generally 10 years for NOx, while it
is 8 years for the other pollutants (and for NOx in 1996-1997). However, we calculated that the mileage
requirement is the forcing requirement for all the heavy-duty regulatory classes.
f 40 CFR 86.098-2. The useful life standard is 10 years for urban buses for both NOx and PM.

aThe HHD diesel and Urban Bus warranty year values in the ta
to be consistent with HD2027 final rule.
Dies were updated to 10 years in MOVES4
While both age and mileage metrics are given for these periods, whichever comes first determines the
applicability of the warranty. As a result, since the mileage limit is usually reached before the age limit, but
MOVES deals with age and not mileage, we needed to convert all the mileage values to age equivalents.
The data show that on average, heavy heavy-duty trucks accumulate mileage much more quickly than
other regulatory classes and reach the end of their warranty period more quickly. Therefore, deterioration
in heavy heavy-duty truck emissions will presumably happen at younger ages than for other regulatory
classes. Buses, on average, do not accumulate mileage as quickly. Therefore, their useful life period is
governed by the age requirement, not the mileage requirement.
We use a "scaled age effect" to calculate the age-adjusted emission rates for each age. The scaled age
effect, sa, is calculated using the age of the vehicle in comparison to the warranty and useful life
requirements, as shown in Table B-2. When the vehicle age is between the end of the warranty and the
useful life, sa is interpolated between 0 and 1 as summarized in Table B-3 below and illustrated in Figure B-
1 above.

Where:

Since MOVES deals with age groups and not individual ages (Table 1-6), the increase in emissions by age
must be calculated by age group. For simplicity, we modeled an even age distribution within each age
group (e.g., ages 0, 1, 2, and 3 are equally represented in the 0-3 age group). We then calculated average
scaled age effects for each age group. This is important since, for example, HHD trucks reach their useful
life at four years, which means they will increase emissions through the 0-3 age group. As a result, the 0-3
259
-------
age group emission rate will be higher than the zero-mile emission rate for HHD trucks. Table B-4 andTable
B-5 show the average scaled age effect by age group for pre-2027 and 2027+ MY vehicles, respectively. In
these tables, a value of 0 indicates no deterioration, (i.e., the zero-mile emissions level (ZML)), and a value
of 1 indicates a fully deteriorated engine, or maximum emissions level, at or beyond the useful life (UL).

Then, for each pollutant and age, we multiplied the zero-mile emission rate by one plus the product of the

-------
Sections B.2 through B.9 discuss the data sources and assumptions used to determine the T&M failure
frequencies and T&M emission effects used to derive the T&M adjustment factor in Equation 8-1 for each
pollutant and model year range of vehicle.
B.2 Data Sources
EPA used the following information to develop the tampering and mal-maintenance occurrence rates used
in MOVES:
• California's ARB EMFAC2007 Modeling Change Technical Memo186 (2006). The basic
EMFAC occurrence rates for tampering and mal-maintenance were developed from Radian
and EFEE reports and CARB engineering judgment.
• Radian Study (1988). The report estimated the malfunction rates based on survey and
observation. The data may be questionable for current heavy-duty trucks due to
advancements such as electronic controls, injection systems, and exhaust aftertreatment.
• EFEE report (1998) on PM emission deterioration rates for in-use vehicles. Their work
included heavy-duty diesel vehicle chassis dynamometer testing at Southwest Research
Institute.
• EMFAC2000 (2000) Tampering and Mal-maintenance Rates
• EMA's comments on ARB's Tampering, Malfunction, and Mal-maintenance Assumptions
for EMFAC 2007
• University of California -Riverside (UCR) "Incidence of Malfunctions and Tampering in
Heavy-Duty Vehicles"
• Air Improvement Resources, Inc.'s Comments on Heavy-Duty Tampering and Mal-
maintenance Symposium
B.3 T&M Failure Modes
EPA generally adopted the T&M failure modes developed by CARB, with a few exceptions. The high fuel
pressure category was removed. We added a failure mode for mis-fueling to represent the use of nonroad
diesel in cases when ULSD onroad diesel is required. We combined the injector failure modes into a single
group. We reorganized the EGR failure modes into "Stuck Open" and "Disabled/Low Flow." We included
the PM regeneration system, including the igniter, injector, and combustion air system in the PM filter leak
failure mode.
For model years 1994-2007, the EPA developed failure mode frequencies for model year groups that apply
to all heavy-duty diesel vehicles, including earlier model years. For model year 2007-2012, we developed
separate failure mode frequencies for heavy-duty diesel vehicles that are equipped with Lean NOx Traps
(LNT) and Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) systems, respectively. Beyond model year 2012, we assume all
heavy-duty vehicles are using SCR systems. Better understanding tampering and mal-maintenance effects
in contemporary vehicles is an area where additional research would be beneficial.
B.4 T&M Model Year Groups
EPA developed the model year groups based on regulation and technology changes.
Pre-1994 represents non-electronic fuel control.
1998-2002 represents the time period with consent decree issues.
2003 represents early use of EGR.
2007 and 2010 contain significant PM and NOx regulation changes.
2010-and later represent heavy-duty trucks with required OBD. This rule began in MY 2010
with complete phase-in by MY 2013. The OBD impacts are discussed in Section B.10.
261
-------
• 2027 and later represent the heavy-duty vehicles subject to the HD2027 standards
including further technology improvements of heavy-duty engines and after-treatment
system.187
B.5 T&M Failure Frequency Rates and Differences
EPA adopted the CARB EMFAC2007 occurrence rates, except as noted below.
Clogged Air Filter: EPA reduced the frequency rate from EMFAC's 15 percent to 8 percent. EPA reduced
this value based on the UCR results, the Radian study, and EMA's comments that air filters are a
maintenance item. Many trucks contain indicators to notify the driver of dirty air filters and the drivers
have incentive to replace the filters for other performance reasons.
Other Air Problems: EPA reduced the frequency rate from 8 percent to 6 percent based on the UCR
results.
Electronics Failed: EPA continued to use the 3 percent frequency rate for all model years beyond 2010. We
projected that the engine hardware would evolve through 2010, rather than be replaced with completely
new engine systems that would justify a higher rate of failure. For 2010 and later vehicles, the occurrence
of T&M on electronics associated with SCR and DPF aftertreatment systems is counted with the
aftertreatment specific failure modes (including "NOx aftertreatment malfunction" and "PM Filter
Disable"), rather than in the "Electronics Failed" mode.
EGR Stuck Open: EPA believes the failure frequency of this item is rare and therefore set the level at 0.2
percent. This failure will lead to drivability issues that will be noticeable to the driver and serve as an
incentive to repair.
EGR Disabled/Low Flow: EPA estimates the ERG failure rate at 10 percent. All but one major engine
manufacturer had EGR previous to the 2007 model year and all have it after 2007, so a large increase in
rates seem unwarranted. However, the Illinois EPA stated that "EGR flow insufficient" is the top OBD issue
found in their LDV l/M program188 so it cannot be ignored.
NOx Aftertreatment malfunction: EPA developed a NOx aftertreatment malfunction rate that is dependent
on the type of system used. We assumed that HHDD will use primarily SCR systems and LHDD will primarily
use LNT systems. We estimated the failure rates of the various components within each system to develop
a composite malfunction rate (Table B-6).
The individual failure rates were developed considering the experience in agriculture and stationary
industries of NOx aftertreatment systems and similar component applications. Details are included in the
chart below. We assumed that tank heaters had a five percent failure rate but were only required in one
third of the country during one fifth of the year. The injector failure rate is lower than fuel injectors, even
though they have similar technology, because there is only one required in each system and it is operating
in less severe environment of pressure and temperature. We believe the compressed air delivery system is
very mature based on a similar use in air brakes. We also believe that manufacturers will initiate engine
power de-rate as incentive to keep the urea supply sufficient.

NOx aftertreatment sensor: EPA will assume a 10 percent failure mode for the aftertreatment sensor. We
developed the occurrence rate based on the following assumptions:
• Population: HHDD: vast majority of heavy-duty applications will use selective catalytic
reduction (SCR) technology with a maximum of one NOx sensor. NOx sensors are not
required for SCR - manufacturers can use models or run open loop. Several engine
manufacturers representing 30 percent of the market plan to delay the use of NOx
aftertreatment devices through the use of improved engine-out emissions and emission
credits.
• Durability expectations: SwRI completed 6000 hours of the European Stationary Cycle
(ESC) cycling with NOx sensor. Internal testing supports longer life durability. Discussions
with OEMs in 2007 indicate longer life expected by 2010.
• Forward looking assumptions: Manufacturers have a strong incentive to improve the
reliability and durability of the sensors because of the high cost associated with frequent
replacements.
PM Filter Leak: EPA will use 5 percent PM filter leak and system failure rate. They discounted high failure
rates currently seen in the field.
PM Filter Disable: EPA agrees with CARB's 2 percent tamper rate of the PM filter. The filter causes a fuel
economy penalty so the drivers have an incentive to remove it.
Oxidation Catalyst Malfunction/Remove: EPA believes most manufacturers will install oxidation catalysts
initially in the 2007 model year and agrees with CARB's assessment of 5 percent failure rate. This rate
consists of an approximate 2 percent tampering rate and 3 percent malfunction rate. The catalysts are
more robust than PM filters, but have the potential to experience degradation when exposed to high
temperatures.
263
-------
Misfuel: EPA estimated that operators will use the wrong type of fuel, such as agricultural diesel fuel with
higher sulfur levels, approximately 0.1 percent of the time.
In the future, we hope to collect updated real-world failure frequencies for newer technologies.

B.7 NOx T&M Emission Effects
B.7.1 Model Years 1994 through 2026
For model years 1994 through 2026, EPA developed the emission effect from each tampering and mal-
maintenance incident from CARB's EMFAC, Radian's dynamometer testing with and without the
malfunction present, Engine, Fuel, and Emissions Engineering Inc. (EFEE) results, and EPA staff testing
experience.
264
-------
EPA estimated that the lean N0X traps (LNT) in LHD are 80 percent efficient and the selective catalyst
reduction (SCR) systems in HHD are 90 percent efficient at reducing NOx.
EPA developed the NOx emission factors of the NOx sensors based on SCR systems' ability to run in open-
loop mode and still achieve NOx reductions. The Manufacturers of Emission Controls Association (MECA)
has stated that a 75-90 percent NOx reduction should occur with open loop control and >95 percent
reduction should occur with closed loop control.189 Visteon reports a 60-80 percent NOx reduction with
open loop control.190
In testing, the failure of the NOx aftertreatment system had a different impact on the NOx emissions
depending on the type of aftertreatment. The HHD vehicles with SCR systems experienced a 1000 percent
increase in NOx during a complete failure, therefore we estimated a 500 percent increase as a midpoint
between normal operation and a complete failure. The LHD vehicles with LNT systems experienced a 500
percent increase in NOx during a complete failure. We estimated a 300 percent increase as a value
between a complete failure and normal system operation. The values with 0 percent effect in shaded cells
represent areas which have no occurrence rate.
As discussed in Section 2.1.1.4.6, we estimate that 25 percent of LHD MY 2007-2009 vehicles were
equipped with LNT aftertreatment systems. For LHD2b3 MY 2010-2012 vehicles, we modeled that 25
percent of vehicles had LNT aftertreatment systems, and 75 percent had SCR systems. For LHD2b3 MY
2013+, we assume that all are equipped with SCR aftertreatment systems. For LHD45, MHD, HHD, and
Urban buses, we modeled the model year 2010 and later T&M effects assuming all engines are equipped
with SCR aftertreatment systems. We recognize this is a simplification as manufacturers produced non-SCR
equipped engines in the initial implementation years of the 2010 standard due to average, banking, and
trading, and the EPA allowance of nonconformance penalty (NCP) engines in 2012.90
B.7.2 Model Years 2027 and Later
For MY2027+ vehicles, we further adjusted the MY2010 NOx T&M emission effect to reflect the HD2027
standards. As NOx emissions become more tightly controlled with the application of advanced technologies
to meet the standards, we anticipate the NOx T&M emission effects will increase (i.e., there will be a
relatively larger impact of T&M because the emission control system is reducing a greater percentage of
the NOx produced by the engine).
To estimate the NOx T&M emission effects for the HD2027 standards, we first calculated the average zero-
mile NOx emission rate ERzero miie^ox prior to the standard based on the weighted average of the
different operating modes o, and regulatory class r, using Equation 8-4.
prp ^lr,o(j^Rzero mile,NOx,r,o * ^r,o ) Ex]U(lti()Tl 8-4
^^zero mile,NOX y I
2jt*,o ^r,o
Where:
• ERzeromiie NOx = the average heavy-duty diesel NOx emission rate
• ERzero mile,nox,r,o = the zero-mile heavy-duty diesel NOx emission rate for regulatory class,
r, and operating mode, o
• tr o= operation time by regulatory class and operating mode estimated by MOVES3.
Next, we estimated the NOx emission rate of MY 2010 vehicles with a tampering and mal-maintenance
failure i, using Equation 8-5, which was derived from Equation 8-2 using the fleet average emission rate
from Equation 8-4 assuming the T&M frequency is 100 percent.
265
-------
ERt&m uvox = ERzero miie..vo.Y X (l + T&M emission effecti w0x) Equation 8-5
We then derived Equation 8-6, assuming that a NOx aftertreatment equipment failure i, in the control
scenario, would cause the average of the MY 2027+ failed emission rates, ERT&M i:Nox>to '3e t'ie same as a
NOx aftertreatment failure in the baseline MY 2010 case, Baseline ERT&M ; NOx
MY2010 ERtk.m \ Nox ~ MY2027 ERT&Myvox Equation 8-6
MY2010 ERzeromiie WOx x (l + MY2010 T&M emission effect; WOx)
= MY2027 ERzeromiie WOx
x (l + MY2027 T&M emission effect; WOx)
By rearranging Equation 8-6, we derived Equation 8-7 to estimate the control scenario NOx T&M emissions
effects.
MY2027 T&M emission effect; WOx
MY2010 ERzero miie,WOx X (l + MY2010 T&M emission effectlw0x)] ^ Equation 8-7
MY2027 ERzeromiie WOx
The MY2027 T&M NOx emission effects for the NOx aftertreatment failures are much larger than the
MY2010 values, because the zero-mile NOx emission rate for MY2027 vehicles are lower than the MY2010
zero-mile NOx emission rates.

B.7.3 N0X Adjustment Factor Calculations
Combining the NOx emission effects with the frequency rates results in the initial T&M adjustment factors
shown in the table below. This methodology estimated a small (9-14%) T&M NOx adjustment factor for
2009 and earlier models due to NOx effects of the following failure modes: electronics tampered, timing
advances, intercooler clogged, and ERG disabled/Low Flow. However, MOVES does not use the estimated
NOx T&M emission effects initially estimated for 2009 and earlier model years, and assumes no NOx
increase (with the exception of the LNT effect for LHD explained below). This is indicated in the 3rd column
of Table B-9 labeled "(Removed 2009 and earlier)." Instead, MOVES assumes NOx increases only in the
vehicles with advanced NOx exhaust aftertreatment technologies for a few reasons:
• The Consent Decree Testing conducted by West Virginia University did not show an
increase in NOx emissions with odometer (and consequently, age) during or following the
regulatory useful life.191 Since the trucks in this program were collected from in-use fleets,
we do not believe that these trucks were necessarily biased toward cleaner engines.
• Heavy-duty diesel manufacturers often certify zero or low deterioration factors for these
engines.
• Starting with MY 2010 (2007 for vehicles with LNT), we expect T&M effects to become
much more significant, because a failure in the NOx aftertreatment system will
substantially increase emissions. We decided to initiate modeling of the NOx T&M
adjustment factor with the implementation of the 2010 standards.
The assumption of no T&M NOx increases for pre-2010 heavy-duty vehicles (except LHD with LNT), extends
to glider vehicles for all model years (regClassID 49).

The T&M N0X emission rates for LHD2b3 vehicles equipped with LNT aftertreatment in 2007-2009 are
calculated by first adjusting Equation 2-11 to account for T&M of LNT aftertreatment, as shown in Equation
8-8. The derivation of Equation 2-11 including the definition of normal operation frequency and DPF
regeneration frequency are discussed in Section 2.1.1.4.6

Where Baseline Emissions = MOVES2010 MY 2003-2006 NOx emission rates for LHD2b3
Equation 8-8
Because MOVES does not model LNT vehicles separately, we then calculated an average ratio for all 2007-
2009 LHD2b3 NOx rates (both non-LNT and LNT with T&M) over the baseline 2003-2006 NOx rates by
adjusting Equation 2-12 to account for the T&M effects of LNT, as shown in Equation 8-9.

Where Baseline Emissions = MOVES2010 MY 2003-2006 NOx emission rates for LHD2b3
Then, the T&M effect for 2007-2009 LHD2b3 is calculated in Equation 8-10 by dividing Equation 8-9 by
Equation 2-12 and subtracting 1.

For 2007-2009, LHD45 uses the same emission rates and T&M factors as LHD2b3. As noted earlier, we
assume no T&M NOx effects for pre-2010 MY vehicles in the other heavy-duty regulatory classes.
The T&M adjustment factors (fr&M,NOx) for model year 2010 and later model years incorporate the impact of
onboard diagnostic (OBD) emission effect assumptions discussed in Section B.10, and calculated with
Equation 8-15. As explained in that section, for LHD2b3 vehicles, we assume 100% OBD penetration
starting in 2010. This reduces the T&M adjustment factor by 0.33 for these years.
For 2010-2012, LHD2b3, we assume that both LNT and SCR equipped vehicles will provide the same level
of control with a 90 percent reduction from 2003-2006 levels (ignoring the PM regeneration NOx benefit
for LNT aftertreatment considered for the 2007-2009 rates for simplicity). To calculate the T&M NOx
effects for 2010-2012 (Jt&m,NOx,LHD2b3,2010-2012)' we weighted the LNT-specific and SCR-specific T&M
effects (from Table B-9) according to the market shares, and applied the 33% percent reduction for OBD as
shown in Equation 8-11:
/t&M, LHD2b3,2010-2012
= (LNT market share) x (fT&.M,NOx,LNT,nonOBD) x C/obd)
+ (SCR market share) x (_fT&LM,NOx,scR,nonOBD) x (/obd)
= (25%) x (71.5%) x (67%) + (75%) x (87.4%) x (67%) = 55.9%
Equation 3-11
270
-------
For LHD45 and heavier regulatory classes, we assume a 33 percent OBD penetration in model year 2010-
2012 as shown in Equation 8-12.
fr&M,NOx,LHD45,2010-2012
= {fT8iM,NOx,SCR,nonOBD) X (/oBd) X (PoBd)

= (87.4%) X (67%) X (33%) + (87.4%) X (67%) = 77.9%
Equation 8-12
For 2013 and later model years, the T&M adjustment factors are calculated for heavy-duty vehicles
assuming that all (except for gliders) are using SCR technology and 100 percent OBD.
fr8iM,NOx,SCR,2013-2026 — (fT&.M,NOx,SCR,nonOBD) X (/oBd) X (PoBd)
= (87.4%) X (67%) X 100% = 58.6%

B.8 PM T&M Emission Effects
EPA developed the PM emission effects for each tampering and mal-maintenance incident from CARB's
EMFAC, Radian's dynamometer testing with and without the malfunction present, EFEE results, and
internal testing experience.
271
-------
EPA estimates that the diesel PM filter has 95 percent effectiveness. Many of the tampering and mal-
maintenance items that impact PM also have a fuel efficiency and drivability impact. Therefore, operators
will have an incentive to fix these issues.
EPA estimated that excessive oil consumption will have the same level of impact on PM as engine
mechanical failure. The failure of the oxidation catalyst is expected to cause a PM increase of 30 percent;
however, this value is reduced by 95 percent due to the PM filter effectiveness. We also considered a DOC
failure will cause a secondary failure of PM filter regeneration. We accounted for this PM increase within
the PM filter disabled and leak categories.
The values with 0 percent effect in shaded cells represent areas which have no occurrence rate.
In MOVES2014, we increased the PM emission effect for PM Filter Leaks and PM Filter Tampering for the
2007-2009 and 2010+ model year groups. The PM filter leak was increased from 600 percent to 935
percent and the PM Filter Disabled emission effect was increased from 1000 percent to 2670 percent.
These in Table B-9 effects along with the OBD effects discussed in Section B.10 results in a fleet average
PM2.5 Tampering & Mal-maintenance effect of 100 percent in 2007-2009 and 89 percent in 2010-2012
(Table 2-25). Note that we apply the same T&M Emission Effect for both EC and nonECPM.

B.9 THC and CO T&M Emission Effects
EPA estimated oxidation catalysts are 80 percent effective at reducing hydrocarbons. All manufacturers
will utilize oxidation catalysts in 2007, but only a negligible number were installed prior to the PM
regulation reduction in 2007. We assumed that with Tampering and Mal-maintenance, the THC zero level
emissions will increase by 50 percent. This still represents a 70 percent reduction in THC emissions
between zero-mile 2006 emissions and fully deteriorated 2007 vehicles.
We reduced CARB's THC emission effect for timing advancement because earlier timing should reduce
THC, not increase them. The effect of injector problems was reduced to 1000 percent based on EPA's
engineering staff experience. We increased the THC emission effect of high fuel pressure (labeled as Max
Fuel High) to 10 percent in 1994-1997 years because the higher pressure will lead to extra fuel in early
model years and therefore increased THC. Lastly, we used the THC emission effect of advanced timing for
the electronics tampering (0 percent) for all model years. The values with 0 percent effect in shaded cells
represent areas which have no occurrence rate.

A separate tampering analysis was not performed for CO; rather, the THC effects were assumed to apply
for CO.
Combining all of the emissions effects and failure frequencies discussed in this section, and the OBD effects
discussed in the next section, we summarized the aggregate emissions impacts over the useful life of the
fleet in the main body of the document in Table 2-28(THC and CO).
B.10 HD OBD impacts
With the finalization of the heavy-duty onboard diagnostics (HD OBD) rule, we made adjustments to 2010
and later model years to reflect the rule's implementation.
Specifically, we reduced the emissions increases for all pollutants due to an OBD tampering and mal-
maintenance factor, f0BD, which reduced the T&M adjustment factors by 33 percent. Data on the impact
of OBD were not available for heavy-duty trucks, and this number is probably a conservative estimate. This
is in addition to the substantial PM2.5 and NOx reductions for 2010 and later vehicles due to the
implementation of other standards. We assumed, since the rule phased-in OBD implementation, that 33
percent of all LHD45, MHD, HHD and Urban Bus engines would have OBD in the 2010, 2011, and 2012
model years, and 100 percent would have OBD by 2013 model year and later. For LHD2b3 vehicles, we
assumed they would have 100% OBD penetration starting in 2010. Equation 8-15 describes the calculation
of the percent increase in emission rate through useful life (T&M adjustment factors (fr&M)); where Pobd
represents the fraction of the fleet equipped with OBD (Table B-ll).
^T&M,p = fT&M,nonOBD,p X (1 — Pobd) + fT&M,nonOBD,p X ^OBD x (Pobd) Equation 8-15
Where:
• ^T&M,p= the tampering and mal-maintenance adjustment factor for pollutant, p, that
accounts for the phase-in of OBD
• fT&M,nonOBD,p= the tampering and mal-maintenance adjustment factor for pollutant, p, for
engines without OBD; calculated in Sections B.7 through B.9
• Pobd= penetration of the fleet equipped with OBD, as shown in Table B-ll.

C. Tampering and Mai-maintenance for MY 2007 and Later Diesel Extended Idle
As discussed in Section 2.3.2.3 we assume the failure of diesel particulate filters (DPF) is the primary cause
of T&M effects on emission deterioration in 2007+ extended idle emissions. We made assumptions about
the failure rates of DPFs from in-use trucks based on consultation with several references and staff at the
California Air Resources Board (CARB) as summarized in Table C-l. We adopted the assumption shared by
CARB staff that 10 percent of 2007-2009 DPFs fail in the real-world, and 5 percent of 2010+ DPFs fail in the
real-world.

To account for the failure of DPF in the THC and PM2.5 emission rates, we used the 2005-2006 average
extended idle emission rates to represent the 'failed' DPF emission rates. We then calculated a
276
-------
'Deteriorated' emission rate that represents a mix of failed and properly operating systems by assigning
the 'failed' DPF emission rates a weight of 10 percent in the 2007-2009 model year group, and 5 percent
weight in the 2010-2012, and 2013+ model year groups, as shown in Table C-2. The 'Deteriorated' emission
rate represents the presumed emission rate of fully-aged heavy-duty diesel trucks. Unlike the start and
running MOVES emission rates, extended idle emission rates in MOVES are not distinguished by age. Thus,
these rates are constant with respect to age.

We assume that trucks that are under warranty would have substantially fewer aftertreatment failures
than older trucks. Because extended idle rates are modelled as constant with age, to estimate the fleet-
average emission rates used in MOVES, we used the 'Baseline' emission rates to represent trucks that are
within the specified 435,000 miles useful-life of the engine in the US EPA regulations. We use the
deteriorated emission rate to represent the years between the regulated "useful life" and the 1,530,000
miles that MOVES models as the mean life-time miles for a long-haul combination truck. Using the
'deterioration fraction' [1-0.435/1.53 = 0.72] as the fraction of the vehicle miles traveled during the
deterioration phase, we calculated fleet-average emission rates used for MOVES in Table C-3. As shown,
the MOVES EC/PM emission rates for MY 2007+ trucks are slightly higher than the 'Baseline' EC/PM
fractions in Table B-2, because the fleet emissions are assumed to include some contribution of emissions
from trucks with failed DPFs, which have a higher EC/PM fraction.

E. Developing Pre-2007 Model Year HD Diesel PM2.5 Emission Rates for Missing Operating
Modes
As noted in Section 2.1.2.1, in cases where an estimated operating mode PM2.5 rate for pre-2007 MY HD
diesel trucks could not be directly calculated from data, we imputed the missing value using a log-linear
least-squares regression procedure. Regulatory class, model year group and speed class (0-25 mph, 25-50
mph and 50+ mph) were represented by dummy variables in the regression. The natural logarithm of
emissions was regressed versus scaled tractive power (STP) to represent the operating mode bins. The
regression assumed a constant slope versus STP for each regulatory class. Logarithmic transformation
factors (mean square error of the regression squared / 2) were used to transform the regression results
from a log-based form to a linear form. Due to the huge number of individual second-by-second data points,
all of the regression relationships were statistically significant at a high level (99 percent confident level).
The table below shows the regression statistics, and the equation shows the form of the resulting
regression equation.

G. Selection of Fixed Mass Factor (fscale) values for MY 2010+ Heavy-Duty Vehicles
In M0VES3, for model year 2010 and newer heavy-duty diesel, gasoline, and CNG running-exhaust
emissions operating mode based rates, we discarded the fixed mass factor (fSCaie) value of 17.1 metric tons
used in previous MOVES versions, and used the manufacturer-run HDIUT data to estimate new/sco/e values
for LHD, MHD, and HHD weight classes. New/sco/e values were needed because the 17.1 value was too
large, limiting emission rate data to low and medium power operating modes, and requiring gap-filling for
high-power operating modes.
The new/sCa/e values for MY 2010+ vehicles are 5.00, 7.00, and 10.00 metric tons for LHD (regClass 41 and
42), MHD (regClass 46), and HHD (regClass 47 and 48), respectively. These/sco;e values are used when
analyzing the real-world emissions data that leads to the base emission rates in the MOVES database. The
fscale values are also used by the MOVES model, at run time, to convert vehicle activity to operating mode-
based time distributions. For consistency, operating mode-based emissions rates and time distributions,
for a given regulatory class and model year, must be based on the same/sco/e value. Glider vehicles
(regClass 49) continue to use emission rates from pre-2010 vehicles, and thus their/sco;e value is unchanged
at 17.1. Note that it is not meaningful to compare operating mode based rates based on different fscaie
values. This appendix describes how we arrived at the/sco/e values.
The entire MY 2010+ HDIUT dataset (Section 2.1.1.1) was analyzed using a range of fscaie values. For this
exercise we analyzed LHD, MHD, and HHD separately, but within those regulatory classes, we did not
divide the data set by NOx FEL or model years. We included the MOVES2014 value {fSCaie = 17.1) to show
how the operating mode distribution would look for a "business as usual" case. It is expected that the/scofe
for LHD should be lower than MHD, which in turn should be lower than HHD. Our goal was to find/sco/e
values that allow the HDIUT data to cover all operating modes, thus reducing the need for gap-filling while
288
-------
also leaving the highest power operating modes (30 and 40) as not saturated because the HDIUT data is
not expected to have very aggressive operation. If the/sco/e is too big, the high power operating modes are
left vacant. On the other hand, if the/sco;e is too small, a lot of the data gets pushed to the high power
operating modes, and the high operating modes no longer capture emissions at only the most extreme and
aggressive operating conditions measured in the HDIUT data set. Both cases are sub-optimal because they
reduce the model's capability to distinguish operating modes in a meaningful way.
When analyzing the HDIUT data for various fscaie values, we estimated the number of vehicles, time, and
mass/time emission rates for each operating mode. Vehicle count and time, per operating mode, were first
cut criteria during the fscaie selection process. We used the C02 mass/time rates as an additional check
because these rates are known to have consistent and predictable monotonically rising trend within each
speed-bin (since higher power demand requires burning more fuel which leads to more C02).
Tables G-l through G3 show how the choice of fscaie values would affect the vehicle count and seconds in
each operating mode, for LHD, MHD, and HHD, respectively. The number of seconds is based on the
HDIUT-based operating mode time fractions applied to a cycle of one million seconds. Using a unique but
representative/sco/e for each regClass, when combined with a cycle of the same number of total seconds,
should result in similar number of seconds in high power operating modes. In other words, we expect LHD,
MHD, and HHD vehicles in the HDIUT data set to have somewhat similar time distribution across power
modes. Finally, we used the C02 mass/time rate trends as an additional metric to pick a final fscaie between
candidate values that look reasonably good for both vehicle count and time distribution.
Looking at Table G-l for LHD vehicles, fscaie = 2.06 results in every one of the 64 vehicles having operation in
operating modes 30 and 40 and significantly more seconds of data than operating modes 29 and 39,
respectively. On the other hand, a fscaie value of 9.00 or 17.1 meant the high-power operating modes had
only a couple vehicles and seconds, which is a sign of under-representation in those operating modes.
Thus, a suitable/sca;e value, for LHD, should be between 2.06 and 9.00. Based on further analysis, the final
fscaie candidates for LHD were 4.00, 5.00, and 6.00. A value of 4.00 seemed too small because we did not
expect over 40 (out of 64) vehicles to have operation in operating modes 30 and 40. A value of 6.00
seemed too high because it led to only 40 seconds and 135 seconds of data (from a cycle with a million
seconds) in operating modes 30 and 40, respectively. The small sample size was deemed insufficient to
determine robuts emission rates for these operating mode bins. We picked 5.00 as the final fscaie value for
LHD because it resulted in a reasonable number of vehicles and seconds in the high power operating
modes 29, 30, 39, and 40. For confirmation purpose, we also compared the C02 mass/time rates for all the
fscaie values considered during the analysis and Figure G-l shows a comparison between the final
candidates of 4.00, 5.00, and 6.00. As seen in the figure, all three values provide good monotonically
increasing trend. fscaie 5.00 yields much more aggressive driving behavior in operating modes 30 and 40
compared to fscaie 4.00, with mean C02 emissions rates approximately 30% higher in these operating
modes. As stated earlier, our objective is to select the/SCate that yields the most aggressive operation in the
highest operating modes while still providing sufficiently robust estimates of the emission rates. Because
fscaie 5.00 still provides mean C02 emissions rates that are robust for the high operating mode bins,/SCate
5.00 is preferable to an fSCaie of 4.00./sco/e 5.00 provides strong and expected increasing trends in C02
emission rates between operating modes 29 and 30, whereas/sco;e 6.00 does not. We believe this is due to
insufficient data in the highest operating mode bins with/sco/e of 6.00 to determine robust estimates at the
highest operating modes. Thus, we decided to use an fSCaie of 5.00 for LHD in MOVES.
289
-------
For MHD and HHD, we went through similar reasoning and steps as for LHD. Our final fscaie values for LHD,
MHD, and HHD are 5.00, 7.00, and 10.00, respectively. From Tables G-l through G-3, these fscaie values lead
to comparable vehicle count (20-40 % of total vehicles in the regulatory class) and seconds of data (1000-
3000 seconds out of one million) in OpModes 30 and 40.
We did not try to find a precise and even more suitable/sco/e value. Thus, for example, whether fscaie of 4.80
or 5.20 is better than 5.00, for LHD, was not tested. There are diminishing returns for the extra time and
effort required for that analysis because: (1) the HDIUT data set lacks certain things such as very aggressive
operation or malfunctioning vehicles, so a very suitable value of /sco;e from this data set might not be as
suitable with another data set; (2) comparing closely spaced fscaie values does not necessarily provide a
clear winner across the board because there's more than one criteria (vehicle count, time, mass/time rates
for various pollutants).
In the 2019 peer-review, one of peer-reviewers asked if we have evaluated the time distribution from real-
world data using the proposed fscaie value. In Figures F-4 through G-6,we conducted a comparison of the
operating mode distributions measured from the HDIUT dataset and real-world operating modes
estimated from MOVES3 national scale runs for the three evaluated regulatory classes LHD, MHD, and HHD
at the proposed proposed/sco;e values. As shown, the distributions are similar between the HDIUT dataset
and national MOVES runs, with most of the data occurring at idle and the operating modes above 50 mph
(opModelD 33-40). One notable difference is for a national scale run MOVES estimates a higher percentage
of activity in the highest power, high speed operating mode bins. This is expected, given that the HDIUT
dataset is expected to under-represent high power operation due to steep grades, high speeds, and heavy-
pay loads (e.g., multiple trailers, over-weight trailers) compared to the in-use fleet. This comparison
supports our logic to select the/SCate that maps only the most aggressive operation from the HDIUT dataset
into the highest MOVES operating mode bins.
The peer reviewer suggested that we compare the operating mode distribution obtained from the
proposed fscaie values from other in-use datasets. We agree that this would be useful to better understand
the representativeness of the HDIUT dataset, as well as further evaluate the MOVES default activity
assumptions, including the MOVES heavy-duty driving cycles. In the population and activity report, we
listed this as a project for consideration for future MOVES work.

I. Analysis of 2010 and Later Model Year Heavy-duty Gasoline Emission Rates
This appendix contains additional details of the analysis used to update the 2010 and later model year
heavy-duty gasoline running emission rates documented in Section 3.1.1.2.2.
1.1 Removal of Start Emissions from Real-World PEMS Data in Developing Heavy-duty Gasoline Running Exhaust
Emissions
The running exhaust emissions rates update for 2010 model year and later heavy-duty gasoline vehicles
is meant to include emissions from only the hot-running condition. Thus, ideally, emissions assigned to
start effects should be removed before estimating operating mode-based average rates per test and per
vehicle. This is less of a concern if each test is a full-day of operation since the incremental start
emissions might then be a small fraction of total emissions. However, on-road tests of the three HD
gasoline involved drive cycles that range from 10 to 90 minutes in duration. Also, the idle tests, of 15 or
30 minute duration, need to have start effects removed to ensure their contribution to OpMode 1 (idle
MY 2010-2013

Juiii

-------
mode) rate is unaffected by start emissions. Note that the effect of start emissions is modeled as a
separate process in MOVES and by removing them from the running emissions, we are minimizing
double-counting.
Start emissions in the Federal Test Procedure are calculated as Bag 1 minus Bag 3 of the FTP cycle,
where Bag 1 is driving after a cold start and Bag 3 is the same cycle as Bag 1 but under hot-stabilized
conditions. This method is not possible in real-world testing because it is not possible to replicate the
exact drive cycle due to varying traffic conditions. Thus, we decided to define start emissions as the
incremental emissions that occur before the TWC reaches the light-off condition where it achieves
optimal emissions reduction efficacy. We define light-off condition as the point when the TWC first
reaches 421 °C (790 °F). TWC light-off temperatures are based on design specifics but are generally in
the range of 400 °C. The selection of 421 °C as the criteria is somewhat arbitrary at the very precise level
- there is not a good reason why 421 °C is more appropriate than say 410 °C or 430 °C. We picked 421 °C
based on visual comparison of a handful of the on-road tests for each of the three gasoline vehicles to
find out at what point the TWC temperature starts to stabilize. The effect of soak time on time to reach
421 °C catalyst temperature and grams of emissions assigned to the start effect, thus removed from
running exhaust emissions, are shown in the following table. The following figure shows the data for
NOx. Interestingly, the trend for NOx from on-road testing is comparable to the trends from previous lab-
based testing, shown in Figure 3-23. For the on-road data, grams of NOx from starts emissions for 105-
minute soak is 1.15 times the 720-minute soak. For the same conditions, the ratios in Figure 3-23 are
approximately 1.17 and 1.37 for the data series labeled as "MOVES" and "New Data", respectively. The
trends for THC and CO are also similar between the two figures.

1.2 Comparison of Heavy-duty Gasoline Emission Rates by Vehicle
The figures in this subsection show the emission rates calculated from the PEMS testing data collected
on three heavy-duty gasoline vehicle. The emission rates in these figures were analyzed using an/sca/eof
5 metric tons used for the LHD2b3 and LHD45 regulatory class emission rates. The error bars are the
95% confidence intervals of the mean calculated by treating the number of routes (R) as independent
random variables.
The Isuzu NPR has the highest NOx emission rates across all operating modes. The Ford E459 and the
Ram 3500 have more similar NOx emission rates, except for the high speed and power operating modes
(opModelD 39 and 40).

For THC and CO, the Isuzu NPR tends to have lower emission rates. The differences between the vehicles
is more dependent on operating mode. The Ram 3500 has the highest emission rates for the high STP
and high speed operating modes, but is more comparable to the other vehicles at the low STP and low
speed operating mode bins.

1.3 Extrapolating High-Power Operating Modes
When analyzing the heavy-duty gasoline data for the MHD and HHD regulatory classes (using an/sCa/eof 7
and 10 metric tons respectively), there was limited or no data for high power operating mode bins. The
figure below shows the mean NOx emission rates by vehicle and operating mode when using an using an
fscaieof 10 used for HHD vehicles. Operating modes 29, 30, 39, 40 are missing data from at least one of
the tested vehicles. Operating mode 16 and 28 have limited data from the Ford and Isuzu vehicles (less
than 10 routes had data measured in those operating mode bins). The small amount of data in these
operating mode bins decreases our confidence in the mean operating modes, and can lead to
inconsistent trends in emission rates with power. For example, operating mode 16 has lower mean NOx
emission rates than operating mode 15.

case where there were limited data, we aggregated the averages with data from the next closest bin
into single averages. The figure below displays the resulting emission rates by vehicles for NOx for HHD
vehicles. For the Ford and Isuzu vehicles, the following operating modes were aggregated into single
averages: 15-16, 27-30, 38-40. For the RAM vehicle, operating modes 29-30 were aggregated. The same
aggregation was used to calculated the updated THC and CO emission rates

For C02 emission rates, we used a different method than forTHC, CO, and NOx. Rather than aggregate
the emission rates with limited or no data, we extrapolated the higher operating modes (30, 39, and 40)
using the STP values using Equation 2-5. The assumed mid-point STP for each operating mode bin is
displayed in Table 1-2.

The figure below displays the initial mean C02 emission rates using an fscaie of 10 metric tons. Note that
the emission rates for C02 have more consistent trends than other measured pollutants; because of this,
fewer of the high power operating modes were replaced with extrapolated rates than for the THC, CO,
and NOx emission rates. In this case, we decided to only replace one operating mode with limited data
(operating mode 39 for the Isuzu vehicle), because it was only based on one route (which is why there
are no error bars).

J. PM Composition Measurements from Auxiliary Power Units
Table J-l reports the organic carbon (OC), elemental carbon (EC) and total carbon (TC) measurements
conducted in the study conducted by Texas Transportation Institute (TTI, 201495). All the measurements
were collected on APU 1. TTI collected the particulate sample on quartz fiber filters, and Sunset
Laboratory Inc. analyzed the filters using thermal optical reflectance (TOR) using the IMPROVE
(Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments) procedures. Total Carbon (TC) is the sum of
Elemental Carbon (EC) and Organic Carbon (OC).
