    • (ii) 185,000 miles for Class 6 and Class 7, and

    • (iii) 435,000 miles for Class 8;

  • (c) for tractors and incomplete tractors and subject to subsection 38(2) and clause 41(1)(b)(ii)(B),

    ECD = ((A – B) × C × D × E) ÷ (1 000 000)

    where

    ECD

    is the number of credits, if the result is positive, or the number of deficits, if the result is negative, expressed in megagrams of CO₂ and rounded in accordance with subsection 35(2),

    A

    is the CO₂ emission standard under subsection 27(1) that applies to the tractors and incomplete tractors of the subfleet, expressed in grams of CO₂ per tonne-mile,

    B

    is the CO₂ family emission limit and corresponds to the CO₂ emission rate for the subfleet of tractors and incomplete tractors, expressed in grams of CO₂ per tonne-mile, determined in accordance with subsection 27(2),

    C

    is the payload for the class of tractors and incomplete tractors, as follows:

    • (i) 12.5 tonnes for Class 7, and

    • (ii) 19 tonnes for Class 8,

    D

    is the number of tractors and incomplete tractors in the subfleet, and

    E

    is the useful life for the class of tractors or incomplete tractors, as the case may be, as follows:

    • (i) 185,000 miles for Class 7, and

    • (ii) 435,000 miles for Class 8; and

  • (d) for heavy-duty engines and subject to subparagraph 41(1)(c)(iii),

    ECD = ((A – B) × C × D × E) ÷ (1 000 000)

    where

    ECD

    is the number of credits, if the result is positive, or the number of deficits, if the result is negative, expressed in megagrams of CO₂ and rounded in accordance with subsection 35(2),

    A

    is the CO₂ emission standard that applies to the fleet of heavy-duty engines under section 30 or subsection 31(2), as the case may be, expressed in grams per BHP-hr,

    B

    is the CO₂ family certification level for the fleet and corresponds to the CO₂ deteriorated emission level value, using the applicable emission value calculated in accordance with section 32 and subject to subsection (3), expressed in grams of CO₂ per BHP-hr,

    C

    is the transient cycle conversion factor calculated in accordance with the applicable variable “CF” in section 705(b) of Title 40, chapter I, subchapter U, part 1036, subpart H, of the CFR,

• Marginal note:Fleets

  (2) The credits or deficits for each averaging set of heavy-duty vehicles and heavy-duty engines are determined by adding the credits and deficits for all fleets and subfleets, if applicable. The credits and deficits must be added together before rounding and the result must be rounded to the nearest megagram of CO₂.

• Marginal note:Duty cycle

  (3) In the case of medium heavy-duty engines and heavy heavy-duty engines that are designed to be used in both vocational vehicles or incomplete vocational vehicles and in tractors or incomplete tractors, a company must select the duty cycle set out in paragraph 32(1)(b) that corresponds to the vehicle in which the engine is installed for the purpose of calculating the value determined for B in the formula set out in paragraph (1)(d).
