itr -- California Air Resources Board (ARB) Innovative Technology Regulation New Engine or Vehicle Certification Work Group Meeting
Posted: 11 May 2015 13:41:32
ARB invites interested parties to participate in the next
Innovative Technology Regulation (ITR) New Engine or Vehicle
Certification Public Work Group meeting. This meeting will
address potential ITR engine or vehicle certification
flexibility, including potential on-board diagnostics (OBD)
approval pathways, the ITR’s technology diversity element, and
possible allowable sales volumes and sunset provisions. This
meeting will be held via conference call only.
The details of the meeting are as follows:
Date: May 27, 2015
Time: 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
Location: Via Conference Call Only.

Background. The Innovative Technology Regulation is intended to
provide defined, near-term ARB certification and aftermarket
conversion approval flexibility to help facilitate market launch
of the next generation of truck and bus technologies that
California needs to meet its long-term air quality and climate
goals. 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. However,
ARB’s engine and vehicle approval paradigm, geared towards
traditional technologies, may deter some manufacturers from
developing promising new technologies if they are uncertain to
achieve market acceptance.
One option being considered by staff would provide tiered ARB
certification and aftermarket conversion requirements for an
innovative truck or bus technology, providing targeted
flexibility at market launch and early technology deployment
stages, and reverting back to full ARB approval requirements once
the technology achieves a market foothold. Specific
certification and OBD flexibility provisions would provide
manufacturers with a defined, predictable, and practical ARB
approval pathway, while preserving ARB’s overarching objective to
ensure expected emission benefits are achieved. Potential
targeted technologies include hybrid drivelines and heavy-duty
engines meeting ARB’s optional low oxides of nitrogen emission
standards.
The new engine or vehicle certification public work group meeting
is open to all interested stakeholders, and will be conducted by
conference call only. For more information about development of
the Innovative Technology Regulation, please visit
