US: Light-duty: IM240

The IM240 test is a chassis dynamometer schedule developed and recommended by the US EPA for emission testing of in-use light duty vehicles in inspection & maintenance (I&M) programs implemented in a number of states. The EPA has also developed a set of recommended IM240 emission standards for use in I&M emission testing programs.

The test was formulated based on selected segments of the FTP75 test cycle.
