Examples of Class 2b-3 in a sentence
For model years 2013 and later, heavy-duty pickup truck and van (PUV) (i.e., Class 2b-3) manufacturers complying with NHTSA's voluntary and mandatory standards are required to submit two different reports after the end of the model year (49CFR 535.8(d) and (e)).
EPA is also proposing new refueling emission control requirements for all HDGVs equal to or less than 14,000 lbs GVWR (i.e., Class 2b/3 HDGVs), starting in the 2018 model year.
The number of ZEV and NZEV credits retired in all three class groups must equal or exceed the annual aggregate deficits incurred in a given model year in the Class 2b-3 and Class 4-8 groups.
EPA estimates that more than 95 percent of Class 2b/3 vehicles are complete when they leave the original equipment manufacturer (OEM).
Wafer saw, die packaging and mounting took place primarily at the DMEA packaging and assembly facility.
While the extrapolation of refueling emission control technology is conceptually straightforward, in some cases there may be unique technical issues related to implementing refueling emission controls for these heavier HDGVs relative to Class 2b/3 HDGVs and LDTs. Based on these considerations, EPA is proposing that the refueling emission standards in § 86.1816–05 to apply to Class 3 HDGVs as well.
There are many fuel system similarities between Class 2b/3 HDGVs and heavy LDTs, but fewer similarities between heavy LDTs and HDGVs in Class 4 and above.
This has led EPA to extend the light-duty evaporative and refueling test procedures and emission standards to the Class 2b/3 HDGVs, when applicable.
For Class 2b/3 vehicles, it is common to certify the vehicle for emissions purposes (exhaust, evaporative, etc) as a full chassis, while for Class 4 and above the vehicle is certified as a chassis for evaporative emissions while the engine is dynamometer certified for exhaust emissions.
For Class 2b/3 HDGVs, these are now all derived from LDT chassis and have the same basic fuel system and engine characteristics.
