5. NOx Emission Performance of the Canadian Fleet for the 2006 Model Year
Table 8 summarizes the LDV, LLDT and LLDT/MDPV distribution of the Canadian fleet for the 2006 model year.
| Vehicle Class | Total Number of Vehicles | Percentage of Total Fleet |
|---|---|---|
| LDV | 821 780 | 57% |
| LLDT | 422 860 | 30% |
| LLDT/MDPV | 179 321 | 13% |
| Total | 1 423 961 | 100% |
A total of 1 244 640 LDV/LLDT and 179 321 LLDT/MDPV were reported for the 2006 model year, for a combined total of 1 423 961 vehicles. The overall Canadian fleet for the 2006 model year was comprised of 57% LDV, 30% LLDT and 13% LLDT/MDPV. This distribution is comparable to the 2004 and 2005 model years.
Table 9 summarizes the distribution of vehicles by NOx standard (bin) and calculated average NOx values for each of the LDV/LLDT and LLDT/MDPV fleets for the 2006 model year.

| Canada NOx Fleet Average (grams/mile) | 0.1023669 | 0.256539 | |||
| Fleet Average NOx Standard (grams/mile) | 0.13 | 0.33 | |||
The average NOx value for the fleet of LDV/LLDT was 0.1023669 grams/mile, which is 21% better than the applicable fleet average NOx standard of 0.13 grams/mile. In addition, approximately 87% of the LDV/LLDT fleet was certified to a bin having a NOx standard better than the applicable fleet average NOx standard for the 2006 model year (i.e. bin 6 or better).
For the fleet of LLDT/MDPV, the average NOx value was 0.256539 grams/mile, which is 22% better than the applicable fleet average NOx standard of 0.33 grams/mile. In addition, approximately 83% of the LLDT/MDPV fleet was certified to a bin having a NOx standard better than the applicable fleet average NOx standard for the 2006 model year (i.e. bin 9 or better).
