(3) “Heavy-duty truck” means a motor vehicle or combination of vehicles operated as a unit that has a combined weight that is greater than 26,000 pounds.
(4) “Incremental cost” means the cost of a qualifying repower or retrofit less a baseline cost that would otherwise be incurred in the normal course of business.
(5) “Medium-duty truck” means a motor vehicle or combination of vehicles operated as a unit that has a combined weight that is greater than 14,000 pounds but less than or equal to 26,000 pounds.
