Best Available Technology (BAT) Snowmobiles - Yellowstone National Park (U.S. National Park Service)

The “New BAT” designation refers to a snowmobile that meets the park’s Best Available Technology (BAT)
standard. As of December 15th, 2015, all snowmobiles entering the park must operate at or below 67 dBA and
must be certified to a Family Emission Limit (FEL) no greater than a total of 15 g/kW-hr for hydrocarbons and 90
g/kW-hr for carbon monoxide. A snowmobile will be certified for six consecutive winter seasons following its
manufacture or until the snowmobile travels 6,000 miles, whichever occurs later. See the table below for a list of
approved snowmobiles.
