diesel fuel

diesel fuel means a fuel that can evaporate at atmospheric pressure, that boils within the range of 130ºC to 400ºC and that is for use in diesel engines or any fuel that is sold or represented as diesel fuel, as biomass-based diesel fuel or as a blend of biomass-based diesel fuel and diesel fuel. (carburant diesel)

large stationary engine

locomotive

locomotive means a self-propelled vehicle that is designed to run on rails and for moving or propelling railway cars that are designed to carry freight or other equipment or passengers, but that itself is not designed to carry freight or other equipment or passengers (other than those operating the locomotive), but does not include equipment that is designed to run on both roads and rails, specialized railroad equipment for maintenance, construction, post-accident recovery of equipment and repairs or vehicles propelled by engines with rated horsepower of less than 750 kW. (locomotive)

locomotive engine

off-road engine

off-road engine means a diesel engine, except for aircraft engines, locomotive engines, vessel engines and engines used to propel on-road vehicles, that is used or designed to be used

• (a) by itself and that is designed and intended to be moved from one location of use to another; or

• (b) in or on a machine that

  • (i) is designed and intended to be moved from one location of use to another,

  • (ii) is self-propelled,

  • (iii) serves a dual purpose by both propelling itself and performing another function, or

  • (iv) is designed to be propelled while performing its function. (moteur hors route)

on-road vehicle

on-road vehicle means a self-propelled vehicle designed for transporting persons, property, material or permanently or temporarily affixed apparatus on a common or public road, street, avenue, parkway or highway. (véhicule routier)

scientific research

scientific research does not include research into the preferences of consumers for differing properties of diesel fuel or marketing research. (recherche scientifique)

small stationary engine

small stationary engine means a diesel engine, except for aircraft engines, locomotive engines, vessel engines, off-road engines and engines used to propel on-road vehicles, that has a per-cylinder displacement of less than 30 000 cm³. (petit moteur stationnaire)

vessel

vessel means a boat, ship or craft that is designed, used or capable of being used for navigation in, on or through water but is not designed for self-propulsion out of water. (bateau)

vessel engine

vessel engine means a diesel engine that is installed on a vessel to move or propel the vessel through the water or to direct its movement or to provide auxiliary power. (moteur de bateau)

vessel propelled by a large diesel engine

vessel propelled by a large diesel engine means a vessel that is propelled by one or more diesel engines that have a per-cylinder displacement equal to or greater than 30 000 cm³. (bateau propulsé par un gros moteur diesel)
