The Department of Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has a requirement for the supply of an annual off-road fleet dataset to supplement previously acquired datasets of similar scope in Microsoft Excel format. ECCC determines the off-road equipment products to be included in the dataset with the results disaggregated by key attributes including but not limited to engine cycle, engine fuel, engine power range, product, equipment type, engine specifications, and emission control technologies in-service population. The dataset must include all available engine fuels and engine power ranges, and the country of sale must be limited to Canada and provide within 60 days of contract award.
The scope of the data includes the following applications and products:
a. Agricultural
b. Construction
c. Industrial
d. Lawn and Garden
e. Marine Propulsion
f. Power Generation
g. Recreational Products Segments
Definitions:
- Model year – The calendar year that the equipment was first put into service.
- Off-road – Vehicles and equipment that are either self-propelled or portable and are not commonly used on public roads.
The dataset provided must include the following data fields:
a. Calendar Year
b. Engine Cycle
c. Segment
d. Application
e. Product
f. Engine Fuel
g. Engine Power Rating Range
h. Average Engine Power Rating
i. Engine Type
j. Emissions Certification Level
k. Emissions Certifying Agency
l. Emissions Solution Strategy
The dataset must be delivered within 60 days of contract award and span the period of calendar years 2020 through 2025 (inclusive)*, with the individual years that the fleet was placed into in-service for each Model year 1986 through 2025 (inclusive)*, with all equipment manufactured prior to 1986 grouped under a “1985 and Prior” Model year category.
* Subsequent Calendar year and Model year to be included in the dataset for each Option Period exercised (2027 dataset for Option Period 1; 2028 dataset for Option Period 2; 2029 dataset for Option Period 3; 2030 dataset for Option Period 4).
