Emission Test Cycles

Heavy Heavy-Duty Diesel Truck (HHDDT) Schedule

Time-speed data points: Creep | Transient | Cruise

The Heavy Heavy-Duty Diesel Truck (HHDDT) schedule is a chassis dynamomter test developed by the California Air Resources Board with the cooperation of West Virginia University.

The test consists of four speed-time modes, including idle, creep (shown in Figure 1), transient (Figure 2) and (high speed) cruise (Figure 3).
