1. Overview

This appendix describes each of CARB's programs that affect the adoption of light-, medium-, and heavy-duty ZEVs. This appendix is divided into four sections: light-duty ZEV programs, heavy-duty ZEV programs, programs spanning both the light- and heavy-duty ZEVs, and supporting ZEV programs. In addition to programs managed by CARB, the supporting programs are all programs that CARB contributes to but are managed by other State agencies, public-private partnerships, or nonprofit organizations.

2. Light-Duty ZEV Programs

A. The Advanced Clean Cars ZEV Program

Website:

Program description In 1990, CARB adopted the first Low-Emission Vehicle (LEV I) regulations requiring automobile manufacturers to introduce progressively cleaner passenger cars and lightduty trucks with more durable emission controls from the 1994 through 2003 model years. These LEV I regulations included three primary elements: 1) tiers of exhaust emission standards for increasingly more stringent categories of low-emission vehicles, 2) a mechanism requiring each auto manufacturer to phase-in a progressively cleaner mix of vehicles from year to year with the option of credit banking and trading, and 3) a requirement that a specified percentage of passenger cars and light-duty trucks be ZEVs with no exhaust or evaporative emissions.

Building on LEV I, the LEV II regulations continued to reduce criteria pollutant emissions from new light- and medium-duty vehicles starting with the 2004 model year. In 2003, CARB approved the landmark Pavley regulations1 to require automakers to control greenhouse gas emissions from new vehicles for the 2009 through 2016 model years.

In January 2012, CARB adopted the Advanced Clean Cars (ACC) program, which brought together three light-duty vehicle regulations to lay the foundation for the next generation of ultra-clean vehicles: the LEV criteria pollutant emissions program, the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) vehicle program, and the Zero-Emission Vehicle program. The LEV III GHG and LEV III criteria emission rules are fleet-average performance standards for new vehicles that yield continued annual emission reductions as stringency increases through 2025.2 The ACC program includes tighter criteria pollutant standards (e.g., carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, particulate matter, and hydrocarbons) for all light- and medium-duty vehicles starting with the 2015 model year. It also requires more stringent GHG emissions standards (e.g., carbon dioxide,
