Texas Clean Fleet Program: Guidelines for Private and Local Government Fleets

摘要

This guide has been developed to answer questions about compliance requirements of the Texas Clean Fleet (TCF) Program. The TCF Program requires private, local government, and transit fleet owners in certain areas to acquire a percentage of low-emission vehicles (LEVs) when replacing or adding fleet vehicles. LEVs reduce tailpipe emissions of volatile organic compounds, oxides of nitrogen, and carbon monoxide. Starting with model year 2004 vehicles, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has begun implementing new vehicle emission standards known as the Tier 2 standards. Vehicles rated at a Tier 2 bin level that is equivalent to LEV or cleaner, will be considered LEVs for the purposes of the TCF Program. This guide was published by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).
