		SULEV represents today's state-of-the-art in emissions control, and is a substantial leap forward compared to the current federal standard.
		SULEV standards are based on a 120,000 mile lifetime instead of a 100,000 mile lifetime for Tier 1 standards.
		The technologies to reach the SULEV standard are further refinements to existing technologies.

	COMMENTS
		SULEVs and PZEVs are cars whose emissions are so low that if you run them in a major metropolitan area the air coming out of their exhaust pipe is actually cleaner than the air you're breathing.
		SULEV cars which are not gas-electric hybrids and burn the sulfur-bearing gas available in most states may not meet full SULEV standards while burning that gas, though they still qualify as ULEVs at 90% lower emissions.
		Of course, the spread of SULEVs as the standard nationwide may be interrupted by the growth in popularity of gas-electric hybrid vehicles which meet the PZEV standard, so their emissions are as low or lower, plus they get much better gas mileage.

		Equally impressive, the SULEV Accord is certified to comply with the regulatory emissions levels for a minimum of 15 years or 150,000 miles.
		In California's new regulations, when a SULEV engine is used with a "Zero" evaporative emissions system and reduced permeation emissions (fuel emissions that escape through the fuel system components themselves) it can be classified as a PZEV (Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle).
		The engine in the SULEV Accord is a modified version of the new the i-VTEC four used in the LEV II-LEV spec models.

	Green Car Club Forums - Prius not really SULEV
		Knowing what "SULEV" means is something people should research in depth before a purchase anyway; otherwise, discovering what "tier 2" could cause misunderstandings too.
		Where I live every Toyota advertisement that mentions the Prius says it is a SULEV and whenever I try to talk to anyone around here about the Prius I get the typical "My car is 90% cleaner than the average car and is a SULEV".
		SULEV requirements are quite a bit more strict than even Tier-2 for ULEV.

	ELM. No 16. Sulev Kaja: an Estonian at Heart
		Sulev Kaja joined Margarete Holberg and her daughters Irene and Rita when they went to their Laura summer residence, in the far South-East of the country, close to the border with Latvia and the USSR.
		For Hergé, Sulev Kaja was not a stranger.
		In fact, Sulev Kaja was the cousin of one of Hergé’s close collaborators, the designer and artist Jacques Laudy, who was the inspiration for Edgar P. Jacobs’ captain Blake, and he often met Hergé at the literary and musical soirées organised by the Finnish pianist Hjördis Callas.

	AutoWorld.com - 2000 M-Class Lineup
		The Accord SULEV will go on sale in California by January 2000, making it the first gasoline SULEV on the market; well in advance of requirements and continuing Honda's leadership in low emission technologies.
		The new SULEV requirements are the most stringent in the world and part of the California LEV-II exhaust emission standards that go into effect beginning in the 2004 model year.
		The SULEV standards call for a reduction in hydrocarbon emissions of 96 percent from the current federal Tier-1 passenger car levels, and an 86 percent reduction compared to the California Low Emission Vehicle (LEV) standard.

	BMW World - 2003 BMW Parts SULEV Models
		A SULEV is 90% cleaner than the average new car, and its rating is second only to the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV), like BMW's experimental clean-energy hydrogen-powered vehicle.
		A SULEV vehicle is defined by the state of California as being eight times cleaner than a ULEV, as established by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) in its Low-Emission Vehicle II rules.
		In addition to its SULEV rating, the BMW SULEV is expected to be certified by California as qualifying for its Zero Evaporative Emissions standard.

		The California Air Resources Board (CARB) says a SULEV engine emits only 2.3 pounds of ozone forming hydrocarbons during 100,000 miles of driving, about the same as spilling a quart of gasoline, and an 86 percent reduction compared to a LEV rated vehicle.
		Tom Elliott, executive vice president of American Honda, said, "Both the SULEV Accord and the Insight are examples of Honda's long-standing commitment to bringing advances in automotive environmental technology to the marketplace as soon as technically feasible.
		The SULEV Accord and Insight are the latest in a series of environmental firsts for Honda.

		SULEV is the emission rating for both RX400h and Highlander-Hybrid.
		Honda refuses to deliver any SULEV rated Civic-Hybrid outside the 5 states supporting CARB.
		They also decided not to make a SULEV rated Accord-Hybrid available anywhere, even though they already offer a SULEV rated Accord non-hybrid in CA and the competitors are offering cleaner hybrids everywhere.

	Clean Vehicles
		ULEVs are ultra low-emission vehicles, somewhere between a SULEV and a LEV (low-emission vehicle).
		The emissions from biodiesel vehicles can vary a lot, depending on the type of vehicle and fuel's composition, and whether or not there are any emission controls installed on the vehicle.
		From an air pollution standpoint, a PZEV, SULEV or ULEV gas or hybrid vehicle will run much cleaner than an older diesel vehicle without advanced emission controls burning a "biodiesel" blend that is actually 80 percent petroleum diesel.

		CARB SULEV standards specifically apply to the entire vehicle being qualified and cannot be isolated from the engine alone.
		Furthermore, SULEV limits apply to vehicles after simulated aging of the equivalent of 120,000 miles/11 years.
		Furthermore, SULEV is measured in g/mile, not g/hp*hr.

		The SCAQMD chose the Accord SULEV as the recipient of this prestigious award because of Honda's continuing leadership in low emission vehicle technologies and long-standing commitment to the environment.
		As one of the cleanest gasoline-powered vehicles ever offered in California, the 2000 Honda Accord earned its SULEV designation from the California Air Resource Board (CARB) in November 1999 and was the first gasoline-powered SULEV sold in California.
		Building on Honda's advanced Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) technology, the 2000 Accord SULEV complies with a voluntary tailpipe standard for motor vehicle manufacturers that is approximately 80 percent cleaner than the ULEV standard, formerly the most stringent standard for internal combustion engines.

	Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) is a conventionally powered or gas-electric hybrid vehicle designed to produce minimal air pollution at their point of use, typically less than 10% of that of an equivalent ordinary vehicle.
		The well to wheel emission balance is not included in the classification as SULEV, with certain fuel generation paths it might well prove to be more polluting for the wider environment.
		In the U.S. State of California, manufacturers of SULEVS can be given a partial credit for producing a Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) and so a vehicle of this type can be administratively designated as PZEV (Partial Zero-Emission Vehicle).

	DRIVECLEAN.CA.GOV - Emission Rating
		Advanced Technology PZEVs meet SULEV tailpipe emission standards, have a 15 year / 150,000 mile warranty, have zero evaporative emissions and include advanced technology components.
		Partial Zero Emission Vehicles meet SULEV tailpipe emission standards, have a 15 year / 150,000 mile warranty and have zero evaporative emissions.
		For the consumer this means that until 2008, larger vehicles with, for example, a SULEV emissions rating could pollute up to ten times more than a passenger vehicle with that same rating.

	Green Car Congress: Ricardo Developing SULEV, Tier 2 Bin 2 Advanced Diesel
		Ricardo announced today that the company is working in collaboration with a global manufacturer to develop and to demonstrate an advanced diesel technology capable of achieving US Super Ultra-Low Emission (SULEV) and Tier 2 Bin 2 requirements.
		The engine is being developed with a competitive power rating of 65kW/liter to meet US emissions regulations for both sea level and altitude compliance.
		A diesel engine that meets SULEV emission levels should be eligible for PZEV credit in California since diesels inherently have virtually zero evaporative emissions.

	Nissan Plans Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle in U.S.: Emits Fewer Emissions Than a Parked Vehicle
		The SULEV version of the Sentra is expected to emit about one-fourth of the unburned hydrocarbon and one-tenth of the oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions of the cleanest gasoline-powered car sold now in California.
		And in a major development, Nissan said the SULEV Sentra will eliminate all evaporative emissions, or the emission of raw hydrocarbon gasoline vapors given off from a vehicle's fuel system.
		Development of the SULEV Sentra is the latest in Nissan's long history of environmentally significant accomplishments.

		To comply with SULEV standards, vehicles must produce 97% less hydrocarbons, 76% less carbon monoxide, 97% less nitrous oxides, and 90% less particulate matter than the Tier-1 standard.
		Even this vehicle only meets SULEV standards when fueled by low sulfur gasoline, which isn't yet available in most states but can be found in California.
		The Honda Insight doesn't travel in battery only mode, and is certified as a ULEV, meaning it does not meet SULEV emission requirements.

		The car meets CARB's SULEV tailpipe standards, attains zero evaporative emissions levels and meets all On-Board Diagnostic II requirements.
		OBD II (On-Board Diagnostic II) standards enable cars to detect minute changes in emissions, and to notify the driver when service may be needed to keep the engine running in its cleanest possible state.
		In effect, the air the Sentra CA leaves in its wake should be cleaner than the air in front of the vehicle.
