Subject This AEB is for the following applications:
Nonroad 2004 EPA and EU Emission
Regulations for MidRange Engines Automotive Industrial G-Drive

Date: November 2003 Page: 1 of 3 AEB Number: 191.06

Engine Models included: B3.3, 4B, 6B, QSB, 6C, QSC, QSL
Updated from December 3, 2001 – all changes are in blue

Summary
The 2004 emissions regulation changes will affect OEM CSL specifications for all B/C/L MidRange engines.
This AEB will discuss the impact of this change for those engines. Refer to AEB 191.05 for the HD/HHP
product 2004 emissions regulation changes.

For engines built after 01Jan04, the EPA/CARB Tier 2 and European Union (EU) Nonroad Stage II emissions
regulation now covers all B/C/L MidRange products. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM’s) using
MidRange engines above are required to install a Tier 2/Stage II emission level engine in their machine for
operation in the U.S. or E.U. The only exception to this requirement is for those OEMs planning to use a limited
amount of the EPA Transition Program for Equipment Manufacturers (TPEM) engines for specific machines for
operation in the U.S. See AEB 191.07 for details on that program.

The 2004 EPA Tier 2/ EU Stage II emissions date requirement will be for engines at or above 19 kW (25 Hp)
and below 449 kW 751 Hp) for engines built after 01Jan04. U.S. EPA regulations apply to the 50 states,
American Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico, and Virgin Islands.

Details
OEM’s utilizing Cummins model year 2004 MidRange have the following options (see AEB 191.07 for
information on the U.S. TPEM program not covered here).

• Option #1) Specify a model year EPA/CARB Tier 2/ E.U. Stage II certified engine to insure applicability in
U.S. and European Markets.

Tier 2/Stage II Certified Configuration 2004 Certified AP

19 – 224 kW (25 – 301 Hp) ratings Option*
B, C Mechanical Product CX02 AP 9347
B, C Mechanical, QSB/QSC/QSL and CX03 (ME/MR-03) AP 9348
QSB/C New Platforms
B3.3 D781004CX03 or AP30201
D782001CX03

*Note: JMLT and R24 certification will be separated from the AP options. Unique AP “Certification
Registries” will be released as General Option AP’s (additional AP’s to the mandatory options above):

AP 9416 = R24 cert for CX03 (ME/MR-03)

AP 9417 = JMLT cert for CX03 (ME/MR-03)
AP9418 = R24 cert for 02 for CX02

• Option #2) some regions of the world (outside the U.S. and E.U.) will still accept the “former” Tier 1/ Stage I
engine ratings. Canada (one example) will still honor Tier 1 fuel ratings for 2004 (refer to the FR option note
for Tier 1 status for ratings in question). Canada will not accept an non-certified engine where a Tier 2
rating is required in the U.S. Non-certified AP options will be used for these engines:

All Non-certified Configuration 2004 Non-certified

(“former” Tier1/ Stage I) AP Option
19 – 224 kW (25 – 301 Hp) ratings
B, C Mechanical Product CX02 AP 9001
B, C Mechanical, QSB/QSC/QSL and CX03 (ME/MR-03) AP 9244
QSB/C New Platforms
B3.3 D781004CX03 or None (Tier 2 ratings
D782001CX03 available)

• Option #3) you can specify a model year 2004 non-certified engine for a machine operation outside the
E.U. and U.S. (including Mexico) that does not require certification. This option can also be used for
stationary engines (non-mobile) operating in the U.S. that does not require certification.

All Non-certified Configuration 2004 Non-certified

19 – 224 kW (25 – 301 Hp) ratings AP Option
B, C Mechanical Product CX02 AP 9001
B, C Mechanical, QSB/QSC/QSL and CX03 (ME/MR-03) AP 9244

Option #4) Re-Power when an engine is being replaced, the replacement engine must be an engine of (or
rebuilt to) a certified configuration that is equivalent, from an emissions standpoint, to the engine being replaced.
These options will be used for replacement engines in 2004 for all areas (see AEB 24.05 for more details):

All (Non-certified) Replacement Configuration 2004 Replacement

19 – 224 kW (25 – 301 Hp) ratings AP Option
B, C Mechanical Product CX02 AP 9168
B, C Mechanical, QSB/QSC/QSL and CX03 (ME/MR-03) AP 9370
QSB/C New Platforms
B3.3 D781004CX03 or None (Tier 2 ratings
D782001CX03 available)

The U.S. and E.U. emissions regulation transition impacting diesel engine power ranges are shown below:

Regulation Date Engine Power Range Emissions Regulation

01Jan01 225-449 kW (302-602 hp) EPA Tier 2
01Jan02 130-560 kW (174-751 Hp) EU Stage II
01Jan03 75-224 kW (100-301 Hp) EPA Tier 2
01Jan03 75-129 kW (100-173 Hp) EU Stage II
01Jan04 19-74 kW (25-99 Hp) EPA Tier 2 & EU Stage II
