IT IS ORDERED AND RESOLVED: That the installation of FlexiRamp Wheelchair
Accessible Vehicle Conversion Kit, manufactured by MPower Engineering, Inc. of 6175

This Executive Order is based on testing and engineering evaluation of the FlexiRamp
Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle Conversion Kit for impact on emissions. If evidence
provides CARB with reasons to suspect that MPower Engineering, Inc.‘s FlexiRamp

canister bleed emissions, MPower Engineering, Inc. will be required to perform
additional test(s) in the future to show that such emissions are not affected.

Changes made to the design or operating conditions of the FlexiRamp Wheelchair

performance of the vehicle‘s pollution control system shall invalidate this Executive
Order.

Marketing of the FlexiRamp Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle Conversion Kit using an
identification other than that shown in this Executive Order or for an application other
than those listed in this Executive Order shall be prohibited unless prior approval is
obtained from CARB.

In addition to the foregoing, CARB reserves the right in the future to review this
Executive Order and the exemption provided herein to assure that the exempted add—on
or modified part continues to meet the standards and procedures of Title 13, California
Code of Regulations, Section 2222 et seq.

This Executive Order does not constitute any opinion as to the effect the use of the
FlexiRamp Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle Conversion Kit may have on any warranty
either expressed or implied by the vehicle manufacturer.

be made with respect to the action taken herein in any advertising or other oral or
written communication.

intention to revoke the Executive Order, in which period the holder of the Executive
Order may request in writing a hearing to contest the proposed revocation. If a hearing
is requested, it shall be held within ten days of receipt of the request and the Executive
