CARB On-Road Diesel Regulation - Private Fleet
Rule

• Fleet Averaging For Small Fleets (3 or less)
• An owner of a small fleet (3 or less) may elect
  to participate in fleet averaging. Fleet
  operators will be subject to reporting 2025(o)
  and record keeping requirements 2025(n). 
• One Vehicle Fleet By December 31, 2012 if the
  engine model year is 2004 or newer and equipped
  with a PM trap, this vehicle will not have to
  reach BACT standards until December 31, 2017.
• Two Vehicle Fleet If by December 31, 2012 one
  engine model year is 2004 and newer and equipped
  with a PM trap, the other engine model year will
  not need to reach BACT standards until
  December31, 2013 regardless of engine year. The
  2004 or newer engine will remain in compliance
  until December 31, 2017.
• Three Vehicle Fleet If by December 31, 2012 one
  engine model year is 2004 or newer and equipped
  with a pm trap, the other two engines will not
  need to reach BACT standards until December 31,
  2013 regardless of engine year. The 2004 or newer
  engine will remain in compliance until December
  31, 2017.

11
CARB On-Road Diesel Regulation - Private Fleet
Rule

• Other Considerations
• Other compliance strategies include a fuel based
  strategy for verified diesel emission control
  2025(l)(6) as well as the use of experimental
  diesel emission control strategies. These
  compliance strategies require approval from the
  Executive Officer of the ARB 2025(l)(10) for
  operators to utilize them.
• Vehicles in the possession of dealers, financing
  companies, or other entities awaiting sale are
  NOT subject to any of the requirements of the
  regulation as long as the vehicle is not offered
  for hire 2025 (l)(9).
• Owners of new fleets must meet performance
  requirements immediately upon purchasing vehicles
  subject to the regulation or bringing such
  vehicles into California for the first time after
  December 31, 2010 2025(k)(1).
• Considerations for compliance extension based
  upon manufacturing delays are also being examined
  2025(l)(11).

12
CARB On-Road Diesel Regulation - Private Fleet
Rule

• Exemptions
• If a fleet owner installs the highest level VDECS
  on one or more vehicle before December 31, 2009
  then the owner will delay NOx compliance until
  December 31, 2013.
• Heavy-duty diesel vehicles (33K) that are
  operated fewer than 7,500 miles and less than 250
  hours per year and Medium Heavy Duty (14K- 33K)
  that are operated less than 5000 miles and less
  than 175 hours per year regardless of where
  operated are exempt from the NOx requirements
  until December 31, 2020 as long as the vehicle
  remains at or below the threshold.

13
CARB On-Road Diesel Regulation - Private Fleet
Rule

• Exemptions (Contd.)
• Specialty vehicles for farm operations lift
  carriers, spay or fertilizer rigs, nurse rigs,
  cotton module, silage truck, mixer feeder truck,
  truck tractor or semitrailer combos that are used
  exclusively for the harvest of melons or tomatoes
  must meet the NOx requirements starting
  December 31, 2012 but are exempt from the PM
  requirements until December 31, 2017 if the model
  year of the engine is 1994 or newer.

14
CARB On-Road Diesel Regulation - Private Fleet
Rule

• Exemptions (Contd.)
• Specialty tractor-trailer combinations (cab-over
  engine truck tractor) used exclusively to pull
  57-foot trailers are exempt from the NOx
  requirements until December 31, 2017 as long as
  the engine model year is certified to 2004 to
  2006 standard and all other vehicles in the
  owners fleet have met the specific compliance
  requirements and targets.

15
CARB On-Road Diesel Regulation - Private Fleet
Rule

• Exemptions (Contd.)
• The NOx exemption also extends to vehicles that
  travel exclusively in the NOx exempt areas these
  vehicles will be exempted from the NOx
  requirements until 12/31/2017
• NOx exempt areas Counties of Alpine, Colusa,
  Del Norte, Glenn, Humboldt, Lake, Lassen,
  Mendocino, Modoc, Monterey, Plumas, San Benito,
  San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz,
  Shasta, Sierra, Siskiyou, Trinity, Tehama and
  Yuba.

16
CARB On-Road Diesel Regulation - Private Fleet
Rule

• The Air Resources Board (ARB) staff is developing
  this regulation to reduce diesel particulate
  matter (PM) and other emissions from in-use
  heavy-duty diesel powered vehicles operating in
  California.
• This proposed regulation is scheduled to be
  presented and voted on by the Air Resources Board
  in October 2008

DRAFT ALTERNATIVE PROPOSAL

• CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW BY DTCC

23
Mileage Exemptions

• 15,001 30,000 Annual Miles
• End of 2010 2004 or newer until 2020
• 2020 2010 Technology (NOx and PM BACT)
• 7,501 15,000 Annual Miles
• End of 2010 1998 with Level 3 PM Control until
  2020
• 2020 2007 Technology
• Under 7,500 Annual Miles
• End of 2010 Level 3 PM control until 2020
• 2020 2004 Technology

24
Early Incentive

• Equipment owners who are not specifically engaged
  in port service who order 2007 or newer
  technology before Dec. 31, 2009 will receive an
  additional two years of compliance under the
  current BACT regulatory structure starting in
  2020 for 2007.

25
Dedicated-Use/Specialty

• Starting at the end of 2012 all dedicated use
  vehicles must meet 1994 Engine MY or later with
  85 PM and 25 NOx control. In 2020 all dedicated
  use vehicles will meet 2007 standards.

30
Fleet Averaging For Small Fleets

• For one vehicle fleets, and for the exempt trucks
  for two and three truck fleets, move compliance
  for PM and NOx performance requirements to 2020,
  require 2004 technology starting at the end of
  2012 for exempt truck.
• For two vehicles, move compliance for non-exempt
  truck from December 31, 2013 to December 31,
  2015. Exempt truck to meet 2004 standard at end
  of 2012.
• For three vehicle fleets move compliance for non
  exempt trucks from December31, 2013 for both to
  December 31, 2015 for one and December 31, 2016
  for the other. Exempt truck to meet 2004 standard
  at end of 2012.

31
Other Considerations

• Require CARB to address any safety concerns and
  allow for specific exemptions related to
  emissions reductions technology and the transport
  of hazardous or flammable materials.
• Allow double credit in fleet averaging for
  Hybrids for the life of the regulation
• The ARB must work closely with the DMV to
  determine the most appropriate course of action
  for prohibiting registration of non-compliant
  trucks. Tie motor carrier permit to emissions
  compliance as it is tied to BIT.

32
Other Considerations Continued

• Require CARB to compile a listing of eligible and
  ineligible equipment while simultaneously
  addressing compatibility issues.
• Additionally, require CARB to create a more
  robust off-ramp for unavailable technology.
• Have CARB create a compliance corral where
  shippers, brokers and members of the public can
  review a fleet to confirm if it is in compliance.
  Additionally, CARB should create a certificate of
  reported compliance for equipment owners if
  compliance corral cannot be available for the
  initial rule implementation.

33
Funding Concepts

• Create self sustaining loan program available to
  all California based carriers. Possibility of
  tax-exempt bond coming from the State Treasurers
  office.
• Allow for utilization of the tiered truck trade
  (aka Triangular Truck Trade) for exemption
  vehicles
