49 CFR Appendix A to Part 533: Appendix A to Part 533—Example of Calculating Compliance Under § 533.5(i)

Assume a hypothetical manufacturer (Manufacturer X) produces a fleet of light trucks in MY 2012 as follows:

Appendix A—Table I

Model type Description Actual measured fuel economy (mpg) Volume

Group Carline name Basic engine (L) Transmission class

1 Pickup A 2WD 4 A5 Reg cab, MB 27.1 800

2 Pickup B 2WD 4 M5 Reg cab, MB 27.6 200

3 Pickup C 2WD 4.5 A5 Reg cab, LB 23.9 300

4 Pickup C 2WD 4 M5 Ext cab, MB 23.7 400

5 Pickup C 4WD 4.5 A5 Crew cab, SB 23.5 400

6 Pickup D 2WD 4.5 A6 Crew cab, SB 23.6 400

7 Pickup E 2WD 5 A6 Ext cab, LB 22.7 500

8 Pickup E 2WD 5 A6 Crew cab, MB 22.5 500

9 Pickup F 2WD 4.5 A5 Reg cab, LB 22.5 1,600

10 Pickup F 4WD 4.5 A5 Ext cab, MB 22.3 800

11 Pickup F 4WD 4.5 A5 Crew cab, SB 22.2 800

Total 6,700

Note to Table I to this appendix: Manufacturer X's required fleet average fuel economy standard level would first be calculated by determining the fuel economy targets applicable to each unique model type and footprint combination for model type groups 1-11 as illustrated in Table II to this appendix.

Manufacturer X calculates a fuel economy target standard for each unique model type and footprint combination.

Appendix A—Table II

Model type Description Base tire size Wheelbase (inches) Track width F&R average (inches) Footprint (ft2) Volume Fuel economy target standard (mpg)

10 Pickup F 4WD 4.5 A5 Ext cab, MB 275/70R17 150.0 69.0 71.9 800 22.27

11 Pickup F 4WD 4.5 A5 Crew cab, SB 285/70R17 150.0 69.2 72.1 800 22.27

Total 6,700

Note to Table II to this appendix: With the appropriate fuel economy targets determined for each unique model type and footprint combination, Manufacturer X's required fleet average fuel economy standard would be calculated as illustrated in Figure 1 to this appendix:

Note to Figure 2 to this appendix:

Since the actual fleet average fuel economy performance of Manufacturer X's fleet is 23.3 mpg, as compared to its required fleet fuel economy standard of 23.7 mpg, Manufacturer X did not comply with the CAFE standard for MY 2012 as set forth in § 533.5(i).
