2.0 DURABILITY GROUP DESCRIPTION Durability Group: FLTXGPGNNEV1 Combustion Cycle: 4-Stroke Otto Cycle Engine: V6 Fuel: Gasoline Fuel Metering System: Electronic MPI Sequential Catalysts: Three, 3-Way Ceramic Monolith ‘Primary’ Catalyst: 1 per cylinder bank Catalyst metals Pt/Rh/Pd ‘Underfloor’ Catalyst: 1 Catalyst fed by both cylinder banks Catalyst Metals: Pd/Rh For useful life, the Evora family is in the light duty vehicles test group as per 40 CFR 86.1811-10.




3.0 EVAPORATIVE / REFUELLING FAMILY DESCRIPTION Evaporative Name: FLTXR0130JHB Vapour storage method: Single canister Canister Design: Plastic unit, 2100 cc Fuel system: The fuel system has a single stainless steel tank, filled via a

single filler neck system Control system: Integrated Fill-pipe design: Liquid trap Vapour control: The vapours are collected by the canister from the Fuel Level

Vent Valve & grade valves during refuelling, normal running and parked conditions

Purge Control: The engine management controller defines when and how much

the purge valve can be operated to clean the canister during operations

Hose material: The hoses are constructed from multi-layer materials Fuel tank: The fuel tank is a stainless steel construction The Lotus Evora Test Group is combined with the Evaporative & Refuelling Family in Engine Family FLTXV03.5JHB. 3.1 EPA REVIEW OF LOTUS 2005MY ORVR REPORT Summary Lotus Evora ORVR system does not require a full ORVR safety application as allowed for by EPA communication CISD-06-06. Background Lotus Evora ORVR system uses standard ORVR technology, and follows the design of the Lotus Elise/Exige ORVR system. This is in accordance with the guidance given in CISD-06-06. The Lotus Evora EVAP Family FLTXR0130JHB uses the same technology as our 2005 model year submission, EVAP Family 5LTXR0115JHB (Lotus Elise/Exige). Lotus affirms there has been no significant in-use problems associated with this system. Lotus Evora ORVR System Information The Lotus Evora ORVR system is a fully integrated ORVR system using a liquid seal and a proven Delphi ORVR canister. The stainless steel filler neck design is proprietary and is used on Jaguar, Land Rover and Aston Martin vehicles as well as the Lotus Elise / Exige.




Proprietary Fill Level Vent Valves (FLVV) and Gradient Venting Valves (GVV) have been used to control vapour flow to the 2100cc volume proprietary ORVR canister, which has an EPA working capacity of 130 grams. The service port and Canister Close Valve (CCV) are the same components used on the Lotus Elise / Exige since its first EPA certification in 2004. The purge valve is supplied by Toyota Motor Company with the engine. Lotus engine management software controls the purge valve to regenerate the canister, as undertaken on Elise/Exige, and its refuelling / evaporative emissions have been proved in certification testing. ElectroStatic Discharge The ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) strategy for the refuelling system is the same as that approved by the ORVR safety application for the Elise / Exige for MY05 (please see Attachment 1). This uses a stainless steel fuel filler neck that ensures metal contact between it and the fuel dispensing nozzle. A conductive inner layer hose joins the neck to the stainless steel fuel tank. The fuel filler neck is earthed to the vehicle ground via its mounting bracket, an earth braid, and via the conductive hose to the earthed fuel tank. Testing has proven that the system is sufficiently conductive to both vehicle ground and, via the tyres, actual ground. This has confirmed that the system is compliant with the requirements that prevent accumulation of charge in the refuelling system (ref SAE J1645). Comparison to Existing Approved Design As stated, the components used in the Evora ORVR system are of the same technology as employed in the Lotus Elise ORVR system. Differences are changes in pipe / hose lengths, and an increase in canister size, in line with fuel tank volume increase. The in-tank venting valves are of similar design and construction, but are proprietary parts from another proven component supplier (Raval). Attachment 2 shows images of the Elise / Exige and Evora Fuel Systems to illustrate the similarity.

8.0 EMISSION WAIVER STATEMENTS 8.1 High Altitude Exhaust Emissions Compliance Statement In accordance with 40 CFR 86.1829-01(b)(1)(ii)(B), Lotus Cars Ltd hereby certifies that, based upon engineering evaluation and high altitude emission tests conducted on similar vehicles, all vehicles of this test group comply with the high altitude exhaust emissions requirements. 8.2 Particulate Matter (PM) In accordance with 40 CFR 86.1829-01(b)(1)(iii)(B), Lotus Cars Ltd states that, based on good engineering judgement the vehicles of this test group are of a design substantially similar to existing designs that have particulate levels significantly below the standard, and that this vehicle design is expected to have similar characteristics. We therefore certify that all vehicles of this test group comply with particulate matter emissions requirements. 8.3 High Altitude Evaporative / Refuelling Emissions Compliance Statement In accordance with 40 CFR 86.1829-01(b)(1)(ii)(B), Lotus Cars Ltd hereby certifies that, based on engineering evaluation and high altitude evaporative / refuelling tests conducted on similar vehicles, all vehicles of this test group comply with the high altitude evaporative / refuelling emissions requirements. 8.4 Spit-Back Compliance Statement In accordance with 40 CFR 86.1810-01(l)(1)(i) & (ii) Lotus Cars Ltd hereby certifies that the vehicle inherently meets the Fuel Dispensing Spit Back Standard as part of compliance with the refuelling emission standard. This certification applies to the full useful life of the vehicle. Testing is, therefore, not required. 8.5 Certification Short Test (CST) Compliance Statement In accordance with 40 CFR 86.1829-01(b)(4)(i)(B), Lotus Cars Ltd hereby certifies that, based upon engineering evaluation and CST tests conducted on similar vehicles, all vehicles of this test group comply with the CST emission standards. 8.6 OBD Compliance Statement The OBD system meets the full intent of the federal OBD regulations contained in 40 CFR 86.1806-05 and is fully certified to these requirements. 8.7 N2O Compliance Statement In accordance with 40 CFR 86.1829-01(b)(1)(iii)(G), Lotus Cars Ltd hereby certifies that, based upon engineering evaluation, all vehicles of this test group comply with the N2O emission standard.




9.0 OBD SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The ECM monitors the normal engine control sensors and via diagnostic algorithms determines the condition of the emissions control devices. The outputs of the diagnostic algorithms are compared to thresholds to enable the ECM to recognise 'faults' in the system. Once a fault is detected, the OBD system lights a 'malfunction indicator lamp' (MIL) on the instrument panel. This informs the driver that a fault has been detected and furthermore, stores in its memory a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) for the particular type of fault detected. This can then be accessed by a technician, using an off-board diagnostic tool, who will be guided to the problem area. A hand-held electronic diagnostic tool capable of connecting to our diagnostic connector is able to communicate with the ECM and display trouble codes and sensor readings to facilitate speedy fault diagnosis (see Attachment 3). 9.1 Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) A 'malfunction indicator' lamp (MIL) is provided in the instrument panel in order to indicate to the driver that an emissions control system problem has occurred and that the vehicle should be taken for check/repair as soon as is practicable. As a bulb and system check, the lamp will light with the ignition on, and should go out when the engine is started. If, however, the lamp remains on, or comes on whilst driving, this indicates that the OBD system has detected a problem and a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has been stored in the memory. If the fault cures itself, or is no longer detected, the lamp will go out after three engine start-ups with no fault present. The trouble code will be stored in the ECM memory for the next 40 engine warm-up cycles, to indicate to a technician that an intermittent fault has been detected. If no further fault or recurrence is detected during this period, the fault will be erased from the memory. In the case of a fault that causes a sufficiently severe engine misfire such that damage to the catalytic converter may be caused, the engine management system shall take such remedial action to ensure that catalyst damage does not occur. 9.2 OBD II Deficiency Report Lotus received OBD II approval from EPA on 16th April 2014 with no deficiencies (see Attachment 4). The following Lotus OBD II compliance reports refer: • CBI_FLTXV03.5JHB_A-L.pdf • CBI_FLTXV03.5JHB_FLCHRT.pdf • CBI_FLTXV03.5JHB_GENDES.pdf
