49 C.F.R. Appendix A—Example of Calculating Compliance Under §533.5 Paragraph (g)
Title 49 - Transportation
Assume a hypothetical manufacturer (Manufacturer X) produces a fleet of light trucks in MY 2008 as follows: Note to Appendix A Table 1. Manufacturer X's required corporate average fuel economy level under §533.5(g) would be calculated by first determining the fuel economy target applicable to each vehicle as illustrated in “Appendix A Figure 1:” “Appendix A Figure 1” Note to Appendix A Figure 1. Accordingly, vehicle models A, B, C, D, E, and F would be compared to fuel economy values of 26.20, 25.50, 24.80, 23.30, 21.70, and 20.30 mpg, respectively. With the appropriate fuel economy targets calculated, Manufacturer X's required fuel economy would be calculated as illustrated in “Appendix A Figure 2.” Note to Appendix A Figure 3. Since the actual average fuel economy of Manufacturer X's fleet is 23.2 mpg, as compared to its required fuel economy level of 23.1 mpg, Manufacturer X complies with the Reformed CAFE standard for MY 2008 as set forth in §533.7(g).
