Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) Emissions Test Requirement
All AFVs, except electric, solar, and hydrogen powered vehicles, registered in, or used to commute into, the metro areas of Phoenix or Tucson are required to complete emissions testing before the vehicle can be registered. An alternate fee may be paid for Model Year 2007 and newer original equipment manufactured AFVs instead of having the emissions test performed. New AFVs being registered for the first time are not required to be tested, but emissions testing will be required before an updated registration is granted in subsequent years. For more information, visit the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality Web site. (Reference Arizona Revised Statutes 49-542)
Low Emission Vehicle (LEV) Standards
The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) has adopted the LEV standards as set forth in Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations including the Zero Emission Vehicle sales and greenhouse gas emissions requirements. These regulations will apply to passenger cars and light-duty trucks beginning with Model Year 2012. (Reference Arizona Administrative Code Title 18, Article 18)
