• 2017 and Later Model Year Light-Duty Vehicle Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards

EPA and NHTSA, on behalf of the Department of Transportation, are issuing this joint proposal to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve fuel economy for light-duty vehicles for model years 2017-2025. This proposal extends the National Program beyond the greenhouse gas and corporate average fuel economy standards set for model years 2012-2016. On May 21, 2010, President Obama issued a Presidential Memorandum requesting that NHTSA and EPA develop through notice and comment rulemaking a coordinated National Program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions of light-duty vehicles for model years 2017- 2025. This proposal, consistent with the President's request, responds to the country's critical need to address global climate change and to reduce oil consumption. NHTSA is proposing C...

• F-Series Super Duty: More Than Brute Force

A truck as a technological tour-de-force is what the 2011 Ford Super Duty is, particularly with regard to its powertrain. Before looking at the engines, it is worth noting that developing a transmission that can readily handle the characteristics of both a diesel and a gas engine is no mean feat. The transmission offers full automatic operation of manual selection of the gears. A key characteristic of the engine is the large 105-mm bore and short 95-mm stroke. The former facilitates the use of bigger intake and exhaust valves for better combustion conditions. Ford had outsourced the diesel engine for the Super Duty. But for the 2011 truck it decided to design, engineer and make its own. One of the interesting interior design features is a consequence of mounting the gearshift lever on t...

• Flightcrew Member Duty and Rest Requirements

This rule amends the FAA's existing flight, duty and rest regulations applicable to certificate holders and their flightcrew members operating under the domestic, flag, and supplemental operations rules. The rule recognizes the universality of factors that lead to fatigue in most individuals and regulates these factors to ensure that flightcrew members in passenger operations do not accumulate dangerous amounts of fatigue. Fatigue threatens aviation safety because it increases the risk of pilot error that could lead to an accident. This risk is heightened in passenger operations because of the additional number of potentially impacted individuals. The new requirements eliminate the current distinctions between domestic, flag and supplemental passenger operations. The rule provides diffe...

• Nonconformance Penalties for On-Highway Heavy Heavy-Duty Diesel Engines

EPA is taking final action to make nonconformance penalties (NCPs) available to manufacturers of heavy heavy-duty diesel engines in model years 2012 and 2013 for emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NO<INF>X</INF>). In general, the availability of NCPs allows a manufacturer of heavy-duty engines (HDEs) whose engines fail to conform to specified applicable emission standards, but do not exceed a designated upper limit, to be issued a certificate of conformity upon payment of a monetary penalty to the United States Government. The upper limit associated with these NCPs is 0.50 grams of NO<INF>X</INF> per horsepower-hour.

• Nonconformance Penalties for On-Highway Heavy-Duty Diesel Engines

EPA is proposing to make nonconformance penalties (NCPs) available to manufacturers of heavy-duty diesel engines in model years 2012 and later for emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx). In general, the availability of NCPs allows a manufacturer of heavy-duty engines (HDEs) whose engines fail to conform to specified applicable emission standards, but do not exceed a designated upper limit, to be issued a certificate of conformity upon payment of a monetary penalty to the United States Government. The proposed upper limit associated with these NCPs is 0.50 grams of NOx per horsepower-hour.
