Fleet managers know California has the toughest emissions regulations in the United States and they are getting even more stringent. Is your operation ready for the big change?
The California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) Advanced Clean Truck (ACT) Regulation is designed to transition medium- and heavy-duty vehicles from diesel-based to zero-emission powertrains and the process has already begun in 2024. Starting in model year 2024, CARB will require nine percent of Class 4-8 trucks sold to be zero-emission, with the total rising to 75 percent by model
year 2035. Class 7 & 8 truck-tractors sold in model year 2024 will have to be five percent zero-emission-based rising to 40 percent by 2032.
California is not alone in this adoption. Five other states have signed on to the same ACT plan — Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon and Washington — and as many as 10 more are in the process of joining these first adopters.
What’s more, there’s California’s Advanced Clean Fleet initiative (ACF) which requires fleets that are well suited for electrification to reduce emissions by phasing in the use of Zero-Emission Vehicles (ZEVs) and requiring the exclusive manufacture of ZEV trucks starting in the 2036 model year, as well as the Clean Truck Check (CTC), an integrated strategy combining roadside emissions monitoring to screen for potential high-emitting vehicles, improved emissions testing procedures using on-board diagnostics data, emissions checks and data reporting at required intervals.
Attend this session and join fleets technical experts, and representatives from the American Trucking Associations’ Environmental and Energy Department as we map out the state of emissions regulatory implementation and the effects it will have on your operation. Actionable information will be shared so fleets can plan and execute effective plans with your organization’s C-level leaders, administrative team, maintenance management and technicians.
Hear from early adopters of these new vehicle technologies as well as knowledgeable regulatory experts so you can “catch up with CARB.”
