arbcombo -- Innovative Technology Regulation Public Workshop

Posted: 20 Feb 2015 17:23:22
Mail-Out #MSC 15-03 invites interested parties to participate in
a public workshop on March 9, 2015, in El Monte, California, to
discuss development of the California Air Resources Board’s (ARB)
Rulemaking to Provide Certification and Aftermarket Part Approval
Flexibility for Innovative Medium- and Heavy-Duty Engine and
Vehicle Technologies (Innovative Technology Regulation). Mail-Out
# MSC 15-03 can be found at:

ARB’s existing certification and OBD requirements provide a
critical and effective mechanism for ensuring a vehicle’s
expected emission benefits are achieved and maintained for a
vehicle’s useful life.  However, ARB’s engine and vehicle
approval requirements, geared towards traditional technologies,
may deter some manufacturers from developing promising new
technologies which are uncertain to achieve market acceptance. 
The Innovative Technology Regulation is intended to provide
defined, near-term ARB certification and aftermarket part
approval flexibility to help facilitate market launch of the next
generation of truck and bus technologies.  

This regulation would work synergistically with ongoing and
anticipated State and federal truck and bus technology advancing
regulations.  For example, a more flexible certification pathway
could encourage technology diversity and early deployment of
technologies used to comply with Phase 1 and Phase 2 greenhouse
gas emission standards for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, or
increase manufacturers’ willingness to develop an engine meeting
ARB’s optional low NOx emission standards for heavy-duty engines.
 ARB staff anticipates the regulation could also increase the
number and diversity of promising technologies eligible for ARB’s
Air Quality Improvement Program, the California Energy
Commission’s Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle
Technology Program, and other technology-advancing incentive
programs.
