Currently no emissions testing for diesel vehicles in Texas

Light-Duty Vehicles ≤ 8,500 lbs gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR)

Medium-Duty Vehicles = 8,501 – 14,000 lbs GVWR

Heavy-Duty Vehicles ≥ 14,001 lbs GVWR

2012 On-Road NOx Emissions Inventory

On-Road Emissions = 181 tons per day (tpd) NOx

DIESEL I/M PILOT PROGRAM

Investigate a heavy-duty diesel vehicle (HDDV) I/M Program for the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) region

Characterize NOX emissions from HDDVs through on-site pilot testing study

Assess data, validity, and implications for HDDV I/M or screening programs
