1997 Brazil Gasoline & Diesel Emission Standards Passenger Cars

This chart summarizes emission standards in Brazil for passengercars that were implemented in 1997. Emissions are measured using the U.S. FTP driving cycle (details on the FTP can be found in the U.S. test cycles section of this database). The standards include limits on particulate matter (PM) for diesel engines only and on aldehydes (note that the sale of light-duty diesel vehicles in Brazil is prohibited). The aldehyde regulations stem from the use of gasoline blended with high amounts of ethanol in Brazil. Forexample the certification gasoline test fuel in Brazil contains 22% ethanol. The emission standards shown in this table are approximately equivalent to U.S. EPA 1987 emission standards (Tier 0). An 80,000 km durability requirement is also associated with these emission standards in Brazil.

2005-2007 Brazil Gasoline & CNG Emission Standards Passenger Cars

2005-2007 Brazil emission standards are summarized in this chart for passenger cars. Emissions are measured using the U.S. FTP driving cycle (details on the FTP can be found in the U.S. test cycles section of this database). The standards include limits on on aldehydes (note that the sale of light-duty diesel vehicles is prohibited in Brazil). The aldehyde regulations stem from the use of gasoline blended with high amounts of ethanol, especially in Brazil. For example the certification gasoline test fuel in Brazil contains 22% ethanol. The regulations include reductions in NOxemission standards starting in 2005 from the 1997 0.60 g/km standard to 0.25 g/km for passenger cars. These 2005-07 emission standards shown in this table are approximately equivalent to U.S. EPA 1994 emission standards (Tier 1) . An 80,000 km durability requirement is also associated with these emission standards in Brazil. These light-duty vehicle standards are phased-in starting in 2005 (40% of new vehicles, increased to 70% of new vehicles in 2006), with 100% new vehicle compliance required in 2007. CNG vehicles must meet a THC standard instead of the NMHC standard used for gasoline vehicles.

The Euro 3 and 4 regulations for new heavy-duty diesel engines sold in Brazil are summarized in this chart. These standards apply to conventional diesel engines (with or without oxidation catalysts). Euro 3 levels are phased-in in the 2004/2006 timeframe, with Euro 4 levels required beginning in 2009. In Brazil heavy-duty diesel vehicles are defined as those vehicles with GVW > 3865 kg. Particulate matter standards (PM) are included in all stages for heavy-duty diesel engines. In the Euro 3 standards, separate PM standards are included for engines with displacements < 750 cc and speed ratings > 3000 rpm. The emission standards for diesel engines in this heavy-duty class shown in this chart are measured using the OICA test cycles. This test cycle combines a load response test (ELR test cycle) and a steady-state engine schedule (ESC test cycle).

The Euro 3 and 4 regulations for new heavy-duty diesel engines sold in Brazil are summarized in this chart. These standards apply to diesel engines equipped with advanced aftertreatmenttechnologies (e.g., particulate traps, deNOx catalysts) and diesel engines fueled by gaseous fuels like natural gas. Euro 3 levelsare phased-in in the 2004/2006 timeframe, with Euro 4 levels required in 2009. In Brazil heavy-duty diesel vehicles are defined as those vehicles with GVW > 3865 kg. Particulate matter standards (PM) are included in all stages for heavy-duty diesel engines. In the Euro 3 standards, separate PM standards are included for engines with displacements < 750 cc and speed ratings > 3000 rpm. The methane standards shown in the chart above apply only to engines fueled with natural gas. The emission standards for diesel engines in this heavy-duty class shown in this chart are measured using the ETC test cycle. The ETC test cycle is a transient engine dynamometer schedule.

2006 Brazil Euro 2 Motorcycle Emission Standards

The 2006 Brazil Euro 2 motorcycle emission standards are summarized in this table. These standards apply to all models of 2006 new motorcycle engines. These standards are separated into two classes based on engine displacement: displacement < 150 cc and displacement of 150 cc or greater. This motorcycle emission standards use the ECE 40 driving cycle to measure motorcycle emissions for these standards with a specified warm up cycle. The driving cycle itself contains the same series of four driving cycles found in the urban phase of the European driving cycle used for passenger cars (MVEG-A drive cycle - urban portion only; see Europe test cycles in this database for details). Each cycle contains a series of three driving "hills." For motorcycles, the warm up period consists of driving two of these cycles followed by a 40 second idle period. The ECE 40 cycle continues after this idle period. Sampling of exhaust begins after the 40 second idle and ends at the conclusion of the fourth cycle.

The 2009 Brazil Euro 3 motorcycle emission standards are summarized in this chart. These standards apply starting with the 2009 model motorcycle engines. The standards are separated into two classes based on engine displacement: displacement < 150 cc and displacement > 150 cc. For engine displacement < 150 cc, emissions are measured using the cold start ECE R40. For engine displacement >150 cc, emissions are measured across the six modes of the ECE 40 cycle and the EUDC drive cycle, with the option of using the World Motorcycle Test Cycle (WMTC).

Gasoline and diesel fuel sulfur caps in Brazil are shown in this chart. Brazil will reduce sulfur limits in fuel to 80 ppm S for gasoline starting in 2008. Starting in 2009, Brazil will begin the phase-in of 50 ppm S for diesel fuel. The phase-in of 50 ppm S diesel fuel will begin in large metropolitan cities and then be extended to rural areas in Brazil. By 2012, 35% of highway diesel fuel across the country is targeted to meet the 50 ppm S cap, with 60% still meeting a 500 ppm S cap, and 5% targeted to meet a 2000 ppm S cap. The percentage of 50ppm S diesel fuel is expected to increase to 80% by 2015.
