tru -- How to Report Noncompliant Reefers
Posted: 23 Dec 2009 07:50:51
If you want to report noncompliant TRUs or TRU generator sets, please call ARB’s Complaint Hotline at: 1-800-END-SMOG or 1-800-363-7664. The California Air Resources Board (ARB) Transport Refrigeration Unit (TRU) and TRU Generator Set Airborne Toxic Control Measure (ATCM) requires model year 2002 and older TRU engines to meet in-use performance standards by December 31, 2009. Model year 2003 and subsequent model year TRU engines are required to meet the TRU ATCM’s in-use standards by December 31st of the seventh year after the engine model year. There will be no further delays or extensions in the compliance dates. Many TRU owners have already complied with these in-use standards but are now concerned about other TRU owners who have not come into compliance. Because they want fair competition, a growing number have asked ARB how they can report their noncompliant competitors. In addition, people that live and work near places where TRUs operate are concerned about the toxic air contaminants that are emitted from these diesel engines and have asked how they can report smoking TRU engines. If you want to report noncompliant TRUs or TRU generator sets, please call ARB’s Complaint Hotline at: 1-800-END-SMOG or 1-800-363-7664. Please have the following information ready to report: • Date, time and location of the incident • Vehicle type: truck, trailer, shipping container, or rail car • Vehicle company name and number • License plate number and state • Make and model of the vehicle ARB will investigate these reports to address the issue. You can also check the compliance status of a TRU that has been registered in ARB’s Equipment Registration (ARBER) system by using the “Check TRU Compliance Status” button at the TRU website at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/diesel/tru.htm Then you just have to enter the ARB Identification Number (IDN), Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), vehicle license plate number, railcar reporting mark, or BIC Code/Number (for domestic shipping containers and TRU generator sets). Please call the TRU Help Line at 1-888-878-2826 if you have questions about the TRU ATCM. Thank you for helping us improve California’s air quality!
