Title 40

SECTION 1036.505

1036.505 Ramped-modal testing procedures.

§ 1036.505 Ramped-modal testing procedures.

(a) Starting in model year 2021, you must measure CO2 emissions using the ramped-modal cycle in 40 CFR 86.1362 as described in § 1036.501, or using the ramped-modal cycle in this section.

(b) Measure emissions using the ramped-modal duty cycle shown in the following table to determine whether engines meet the steady-state compression-ignition standards specified in subpart B of this part:

1 Speed terms are defined in 40 CFR part 1065.

2 Advance from one mode to the next within a 20 second transition phase. During the transition phase, command a linear progression from the speed or torque setting of the current mode to the speed or torque setting of the next mode.

3 The percent torque is relative to maximum torque at the commanded engine speed.
