Under California’s vehicle emissions ratings, PZEVs (Partial Zero Emission Vehicles) meet SULEV (Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle) tailpipe emission standards and also have zero evaporative emissions. The SULEV standard, established under the current LEV II regulation, is equivalent to the Federal Tier 2 Bin 2 standard.
