California Air Resources Board (CARB) is going to update
the Light-Duty Vehicle Electronic Certification (LDV E-Cert) system to indicate electric range and credit information of
plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and zero emission vehicles (ZEV) on the
certification Executive Order.
LDV E-Cert system is the LDV electronic certification
application submittal system which loads the data portion of manufacturer’s
certification applications. The LDV module of the E‑Cert system has been
required since the 2016 model-year (MY).
In order to indicate the information mentioned above on
the Executive Order, two new data fields and modification of some existing data
fields that have range information are required, and CARB is updating the
InfoPath form and XML schema as follows:
- (PHEV vehicle model only) CSI 7 will have a new field, HEV_TEST_VEH_ID. It will be a key to link PHEV test information in CSI 10A with each vehicle model in CSI 7.
- (PHEV vehicle only) CSI 10A will have a new field, US06_ALL_ELEC_RNG for all electric range on the US06 test cycle. The number of decimal places of all PHEV data fields with range information in CSI 10A will be extended to three for more accurate range information.
- (ZEV vehicle only) Number of decimal places of all ZEV data fields with range information in CSI 10B will be extended to three for more accurate range information.
In addition, several data fields have been updated to fit requirements of “LEV III” regulation (extended warranty for NMOG+NOx fleet
average credits, leak family identifier, PHEV operating mode) and technology
specification (rated power, peak torque, number of transmission gears).
This notice serves as an announcement that the InfoPath
form, XML schema, Data requirements and User guides will be updated on the
E-Cert website on October 10, 2017. LDV manufacturers will have testing period
between October 10 and October 31, 2017. The E-Cert system will begin accepting
and processing LDV certification applications that meet the new requirements on
November 1, 2017. Manufacturers can continue submitting applications using
current data requirements until October 31, 2017.
