5. NOx Emission Performance of the Canadian Fleet

Table 8 summarizes the LDV, LLDT, HLDT and MDPV distribution of the Canadian fleet for the 2004 model year.

Table 8: Distribution of Canadian Fleet
Vehicle Class Total Number of Vehicles Percentage of Total Fleet
LDV 798,251 59%
LLDT 378,871 28%
HLDT 123,129 9%
MDPV 50,468 4%
Total 1,350,719 100%

The overall Canadian fleet for the 2004 model year was comprised of 59% light-duty vehicles, 28% light light-duty trucks, 9% heavy light-duty trucks and 4% medium-duty passenger vehicles.

Table 9 summarizes the distribution of vehicles by NOx standard (i.e. "Bin") for each of the LDV/LLDT and HLDT/MDPV fleet.

Fleet Average NOx Standard (grams/mile) 0.25 0.53

A total of 1,177,122 LDV/LLDT and 173,597 HLDT/MDPV were reported for the 2004 model year for a total of 1,350,719 vehicles. The average NOx values were 0.2016463 grams/mile and 0.321976 grams/mile for the LDV/LLDT and HLDT/MDPV fleets, respectively. These NOx values are approximately 19% and 39% better than their corresponding fleet average NOx standards of 0.25 grams/mile and 0.53 grams/mile.
