ordiesel -- In-Use Off-Road Diesel Vehicle Regulation Fleet Average Calculator for Medium Fleets Released
Posted: 29 Apr 2014 11:21:01
The Fleet Average Calculator for Medium Fleets and its accompanying user guide have been released for public use. The calculator is intended to help medium fleets (2,501 to 5,000 total horsepower (hp)) evaluate compliance options for each compliance year. Note that this calculator is not for use by large or small fleets. The Fleet Average Calculator is an Excel spreadsheet designed to assist fleet owners in calculating their Fleet Average Index and Fleet Average Targets, based on the equipment model year and hp input. The calculator allows fleets to experiment with different turnover, repower, and retrofit strategies to plan for compliance with the in-use off-road diesel vehicle regulation. The fleet average calculator and its user guide are both available at http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/ordiesel/fac.htm. The calculator may receive additional updates in the future. If you have any questions, comments, or other suggestions pertaining to the calculator, please contact Kyle Goff by phone at (916)-323-1414, or by email at kgoff@arb.ca.gov. Background The regulation for In-Use Off-Road Diesel Vehicles first became effective under California law on June 15, 2008. This regulation is intended to reduce harmful emissions from diesel powered construction and mining vehicles operating in California that have propulsion engines that are 25 hp or greater. Fleets were required to initially report their off-road diesel vehicles to the Air Resources Board (ARB) in 2009 via the Diesel Off-road Online Reporting System (DOORS). In addition, fleet owners are currently subject to restrictions on unnecessary idling, and some large fleets will be subject to accelerated replacement/repower requirements beginning July 1, 2014. If you have any questions regarding off-road reporting, please contact the DOORS hotline at (877) 59-DOORS (877-593-6677) or by email at doors@arb.ca.gov.
