Draft List of Eligible Low-Emission and Energy Efficient Vehicles Using the Hybrid-To-Gasoline Vehicle Comparison Methodology As of August 25, 2015 Office of Transportation and Air Quality EPA-420-D-15-006a August 31,2015 Draft List of Eligible Low-Emission and Energy Efficient Vehicles using the Hybrid-to-Gasoline Vehicle Comparison Methodology as of August 25, 2015 This draft list is based on the most recent certification data available to EPA and was developed using the proposed gasoline-to-hybrid comparison methodology. This draft list could change depending on the methodology finalized during the rulemaking process. In addition, the list of eligible vehicles will be expanded as necessary to include additional model years certified by EPA. It is also important to note that an individual state's list may differ from these lists, since the states have the option to increase the stringency of the designated fuel economy percent increase values. States do not have the option to increase the emission standard stringency. In order for a vehicle owner to determine if their particular vehicle would qualify, it is necessary to know the EPA engine family name (also referred to as 'test group name'), which is the unique EPA identifier pointing to the manufacturer's emission certification for that vehicle. This identifier is require to be printed on the emission information label under the hood of every vehicle.

  • General Motors (GM) Mulls Contract Manufacturing Partnership for Vans 25-Nov-2015 12:23 GMT News Production Statistics & Forecasts
    General Motors (GM) mulls contract manufacturing partnership for vans 25-Nov-2015 12:23 GMT News Production Statistics & Forecasts Needs to free up production capacity for popular pick-ups General Motors (GM) is reportedly in talks to outsource the production of its Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana cargo vans on contract manufacturing, as the company is looking to free up space at its plants to meet rising demand for pick-ups, reports industry publication Automotive News. Citing a note circulated to GM's workers at the Wentzville, Missouri plant, the news agency suggests that the automaker is "studying a partnership" with Indiana-based AM General to begin production of the cutaway models. "The truck and van continue strong sales … This potential partnership would free up production capacity and allow the organisation to capitalise on our ability to build midsize trucks to further satisfy customer demand", the report stated. Spokespersons at GM and AM General declined to comment on the news. Significance: GM manufactures the Chevrolet Colorado and the Express models, and GMC's Canyon and Savana models at the Wentzville plant for more than a decade, according to IHS Automotive data. The site has come under pressure from high demand for the recently launched Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pick-up truck. Both the models are seeing sales far outstrip current supply, with the report suggesting that vehicles spend an average of 24 days and 37 days, respectively, at dealers. GM added a third production shift and 750 jobs at its Wentzville plant during September 2014 and made additional production adjustments during May this year.

  • (ATVM) Loan Program: Status and Issues
    The Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing (ATVM) Loan Program: Status and Issues Bill Canis Specialist in Industrial Organization and Business Brent D. Yacobucci Section Research Manager January 15, 2015 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R42064 The Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Loan Program: Status and Issues Summary The Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing (ATVM) Loan Program is a Department of Energy (DOE) program designed to reduce petroleum use in vehicles and promote domestic manufacturing. It was established in 2007, when the Detroit 3 automakers—General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler—faced declining sales in a weakening economy at the same time that U.S. fuel economy standards were raised. It provides direct loans to automakers and parts suppliers to construct new U.S. factories or retrofit existing factories to produce vehicles that achieve at least 25% higher fuel economy than model year 2005 vehicles of similar size and performance. The ATVM program is authorized to award up to $25 billion in loans; there is no deadline for completing such loan commitments. Congress funded the program in 2009, when it appropriated $7.5 billion to cover the subsidy cost for the $25 billion in loans, as well as $10 million for program implementation. Since the start of the program, DOE has awarded $8.4 billion in loans to five companies (Fisker, Ford, Nissan, Tesla, and the Vehicle Production Group). As of January 2015, ATVM has $16.6 billion in remaining loan authority. No new loans have been made since 2011. Two companies—Fisker and the Vehicle Production Group—were unable to make payments on their loans, and DOE auctioned the loans off in the fall of 2013.

  • 2012 Vehicle Recalls by Manufacturer
    2012 Vehicle Recalls by Manufacturer This analysis should not be interpreted as an indication of what NHTSA thinks of any particular manufacturer or its products. Since these summary numbers do not factor in or weight averages based on production, the largest OEMs tend to top the list each year. These tallies are not used to evaluate manufacturers or to evaluate which recalls the agency may need to investigate or monitor. There are a host of reasons why a manufacturer could have more or fewer recalls in a given year or over time – including, but not limited to, the introduction of new technology, its barometer for measuring risk, which could be more conservative or liberal as contrasted to other manufacturers or the industry as a whole, or other variables. Manufacturer # of Recalls # of Vehicles Recalled TOYOTA MOTOR ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING 12 5,330,643 HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) 16 3,363,343 GENERAL MOTORS LLC 17 1,476,319 FORD MOTOR COMPANY 24 1,398,837 CHRYSLER GROUP LLC 13 1,334,541 SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. 4 962,123 BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC 15 561,335 MAZDA NORTH AMERICAN OPERATIONS 2 269,890 HYUNDAI-KIA AMERICA TECHNICAL CENTER INC 5 261,543 KIA MOTORS CORPORATION 3 240,235 NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. 13 215,640 AMERICAN SUZUKI MOTOR CORP. 5 110,908 PORSCHE CARS NORTH AMERICA, INC. 4 22,235 VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC 5 15,894 VOLVO CARS OF N.A.
