Manufacturer Volume Status
The
ZEV regulation requires large volume and intermediate volume
manufacturers to bring to and operate in California a certain percent
of ZEVs (such as battery electric and fuel cell vehicles), clean
plug-in hybrids, clean hybrids and clean gasoline vehicles with
near-zero tail pipe emissions. The table below lists the 2009
Vehicle Manufacturers subject to the ZEV Requirements.

Manufacturer Requirement
A
vehicle manufacturer’s ZEV requirement is based on a percentage of all
passenger cars and light-duty trucks from 0 to 8500 lbs, brought to and
operated in California. The table below is the 2009 California
vehicle production of Large Volume and Intermediate Volume
Manufacturers.

Manufacturer Credit Balances
In
complying with the ZEV regulation, manufacturers operate vehicles in
California which generate varying credits based on vehicle type.
There are also other parties generating credits that do not have ZEV
requirements. The table below lists the credit balances as of
October 1, 2010 generated since the start of the ZEV regulation in
1990. The credits are in units of grams per mile Non-Methane
Organic Gases (g/mi NMOG).

Frequently Asked Questions
What do these credit balances mean?
All manufacturers subject to the ZEV regulation are in compliance
through model year 2009. The positive credit balances represent a
successful over compliance with the ZEV regulation. Manufacturers
can use these balances to provide flexibility in the timing and
production of bringing new clean cars to the market to meet the ZEV
requirements in coming years.
How far into the future do these credit balances cover the manufacturers’ ZEV requirement?
Each manufacturer is unique in their strategy of compliance with the
ZEV regulation. It is not possible to predict how and when these
credit balances will be spent over the coming years due to the
complexity and flexibility of the regulation. There are various
mechanisms in the ZEV regulation which limit how credits are
spent. These balances will be taken into account in future
amendments to the regulation.
Can manufacturers trade credits?
Yes.
How do you calculate a manufacturer’s requirement?
For understanding the calculations involved in the ZEV Regulation, please see the ZEV Tutorial link below.
Why are credit balances in units of grams/mile Non-Methane Organic Gases (g/mile NMOG)?
When credits are earned they are multiplied by the g/mile NMOG fleet
average requirement for the appropriate model year. Please note
that in the ZEV regulation g/mi NMOG is used only as index (which
decreases over time)—it is the “currency” that credits are stored in
and does not represent actual values of g/mi NMOG. The intent of
this multiplier was to reward early production of vehicles.
How many vehicles have been brought to and operated in California as a result of the ZEV regulation?
A total of 1.7 million vehicles including 300 fuel cell vehicles, 5,100
battery electrics, 28,500 NEVs, 300,000 clean hybrids and 1,400,000
clean gasoline vehicles.
