Additional reduction technologies. Enter input values in GEM as follows to characterize the percentage CO2 emission reduction corresponding to certain technologies and vehicle con- figurations, or enter 0 as specified in 40 CFR 1037.520(j):
(A) Intelligent controls
(B) Accessory load
(C) Tire-pressure systems
(D) Extended-idle reduction

(2) If the agencies approve an off- cycle technology under § 535.7(f) and 40 CFR 1037.610 in the form of an improve- ment factor, enter the improvement factor expressed as a percentage reduc- tion in CO2 emissions. (Note: In the case of approved off-cycle technologies whose benefit is quantified as a g/ton- mile credit, apply the credit to the GEM result, not as a GEM input value.)
