The newer lane

The EF and EPA.

Named in EPA nonroad certificates, model years 2010 to 2015

Named twice for mini trucks, model years 2010 to 2015. Two more 659 cc three cylinder families run to 2026 unnamed, and 659 cc fits only the EF.

No truck on this page was built in a named model year. The certificates name the EF for 2010 to 2015, and the last truck here with it was built in 2007.

Certified power 14.92 to 29.9 kW.

A truck under 25 can come in only as governed off road equipment, and only if its engine family held an EPA nonroad certificate for that model year. No kei engine family was certified for mini trucks before model year 2010, so a truck built after 30 October 2001 and before model year 2010 has no federal door until its 25th birthday.
