REFRIGERATED TRUCKS REGULATION
Are truck refrigerated truck owners and owner/operators required to purchase zero-emission truck TRUs?
No. Refrigerated truck owners and owner/operators are not required to turnover their diesel-fueled truck TRU fleet to zero-emission. However, truck TRUs must use a refrigerant with global warming potential less than or equal to 2,200 or no refrigerant at all, meet reporting and labeling requirements, and be otherwise compliant with the TRU ATCM. TRU owners and owner/operators are highly encouraged to purchase the cleanest technology available when turning over their TRU fleet.
Am I still able to use my diesel-fueled truck TRUs?
Yes. Model year 2014 and older truck TRU engines were required to comply with the ultralow-emission in-use performance standard seven years after the engine model year. Model year 2015 and newer TRUs are not currently subject to an in-use standard. Truck TRUs manufactured December 31, 2022 or after must use a refrigerant with global warming potential less than or equal to 2,200 or no refrigerant at all, meet reporting and labeling requirements, and be otherwise compliant with the TRU ATCM.
Can I purchase a newly-manufactured diesel-fueled truck TRU?
Yes. TRU owners and owner/operators may purchase newly-manufactured diesel-fueled truck TRUs from California dealers that use a refrigerant with a global warming potential value less than or equal to 2,200 or uses no refrigerant at all, meet reporting and labeling requirements, and are otherwise compliant with the TRU ATCM.
How long will I be able to use a diesel-fueled truck TRU?
Truck TRUs are not currently subject to an in-use standard and do not have a compliance deadline.
Do I still need to register my truck TRU?
Yes, all TRUs operating in California must be reported to CARB in the ARBER System regardless of whether they are California-based or non-California-based.
Are TRU original equipment manufacturers required to only manufacture zero-emission truck TRUs?
No. TRU original equipment manufacturers may manufacture new diesel-fueled truck TRUs for sale or use in California, that are otherwise compliant with the TRU ATCM.
Can California dealers sell newly-manufactured diesel--fueled truck TRUs?
Yes, California dealers may sell newly-manufactured diesel-fueled truck TRUs, that are otherwise compliant with the TRU ATCM.
