Background. The ITR 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
in-use. However, ARB’s engine and vehicle approval paradigm,
geared towards traditional technologies, may deter some
manufacturers from developing promising new truck and bus
technologies if they are uncertain to achieve market acceptance.
This ITR Work Group meeting will provide stakeholders an
opportunity to discuss draft updated staff concepts regarding
possible certification flexibility for new medium- and heavy-duty
hybrids and engines meeting California’s optional low-NOx
standards. Stakeholders will also have the opportunity to
discuss potential opportunities for targeted, near-term
certification flexibility for other innovative, new heavy-duty
engine or driveline technologies that provide NOx or greenhouse
gas reductions. Staff anticipates this work group meeting will
be followed by a final ITR public workshop in Fall 2015, prior to
Board consideration of staff’s proposed ITR in early 2016.
This ITR 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
the workgroup or ITR development, please visit
