1.4 Vehicles & Engines (V&E) Sample 4
Certified Kubota Engines that have been installed in tractors are imported into the United States.
Vehicles and Engines Sample 4 is depicted below, in
Exhibit 1-4.
When creating a PGA Message Set which requires reporting of an engine and the equipment it is
installed in, groupings will be used. This grouping of the tractor (Equipment) and the installed
engine are considered the product and are reported at the product level under the “PG02P”
record. This is completed using a series of PG07 records bookended by the PG50/51 records,
which denote grouping. All additional records which pertain to the Product (the combined engine
and equipment) will also fall under the PG02P product level. This will include, but is not limited
to, the Certification Statement/Form Number, Importer information, Certifying Individual, and
equipment characteristics.
As the engine is being certified by EPA, it will additionally be reported as a component of the
product and may include Test Group Family Name/Number, exemptions, and any/all applicable
