This contrasted with the trends for the preceding five year period (2005–2009) when a wider upward tendency was observed in ΔNO 2 concentrations; this can be attributed in part to a 3% rise in the number of diesel buses and coaches between 2005 and 2009 and to the failure of tighter Euro class emissions standards.

Because of the program’s multi-year structure, EPA will not make formal compliance determinations for the 2012 model year until 2015. More specifically, because a 2012 model year deficit can be carried forward into the 2015 model year, compliance with the 2012 model year standards can’t be fully assessed until the end of the 2015 model year.
