Note:
- Vocational tractors subject to the provisions of 40 CFR §1037.630 remain part of the vocational regulatory subcategory. Family names for these vehicles should reflect the vehicle type "Vocational Vehicle".
- This also includes heavy-duty highway vehicles at or below 14,000 pounds GVWR that are not tested on a chassis-dynamometer for certification under 40 CFR Part 1037 (i.e., certified to the requirements and standards of §1037.105, per §1037.104(f)).
- This naming convention is also used to identify powertrain testing configurations as described in 1037.231 (encompassing engine, transmission, and axle) when powertrain testing is used for certification of any vehicles within a family.
