For such vehicles, it is the final-stage manufac- turer’s responsibility to complete the vehicle in conformity to U.S. EPA regulations (40 CFR Part 205) and label it for compliance. Fig. 1.5, Canadian National Safety Mark Emissions Labels Aftertreatment System Indicators Label Engines and vehicles manufactured after December 31, 2006 and domiciled in the U.S. or Canada are required to meet all EPA regulations effective as of the vehicle build date, and are equipped with an emission aftertreatment system (ATS). Vehicles do- miciled outside of the U.S. and Canada may not have aftertreatment equipment, depending upon local statutory emissions guidelines. See Table 1.1 .
Vehicle Emission Control Information Label Model year 2013 and later vehicles meet additional requirements as specified by federal greenhouse gas and fuel efficiency regulations (GHG14). These ve- hicles are equipped with components that increase fuel efficiency and reduce GHG emissions. Compo- nents may include, but are not limited to, low rolling resistance tires; aerodynamic devices such as hood, cab side extenders, and fuel tank fairings; vehicle speed limiters; and idle shutdown timers. A warning label on the driver-side visor contains im- portant warning indicators in the instrument cluster that pertain to the ATS. See Fig. 1.7 or Fig. 1.8 . It is a violation of U.S.
