Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2014 14:57:41 -0800 Subject: arbcombo -- Zero Emission Bus Presentation December 3, 2013 From: lquattro@arb.ca.gov Presentation for December 3, 2013 Zero Emission Bus Workshop is now posted. The Air Resources Board (ARB or the Board) held a public workshop on December 3, 2013, in Oakland, California, to discuss next steps and take input from stakeholders on potential amendments to the Zero Emission Bus (ZBus) regulation and the status, and developments of ZBus technology and related systems. At the workshop, staff summarized the four panels (fuel cell electric bus, battery electric bus, ZBus infrastructure, and transit fleets operating ZBuses) from the first workshop and the common themes expressed during the individual stakeholder meetings. The workshop focused on regulatory concepts, and regulatory amendments. The concept that a broader assessment of the transit fleet rule will occur next year was introduced. Based on feedback from this workshop, additional workshops will be scheduled to discuss specific regulatory language and to take further comments. The presentation from last week’s workshop is now posted on our website: ZBus website: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/bus/zbus/zbus.htm BACKGROUND: The ZBus regulation, first adopted in 2000, applies to transit agencies with 200 or more urban buses. The regulation required a demonstration for diesel path transit agencies and 15 percent of new buses purchased to be zero emission beginning in 2008 for diesel path transit agencies, and 2010 for alternative path transit agencies. The ZBus regulation was amended in 2006, to include an advanced demonstration from the diesel path transit agencies. The Board postponed the purchase requirement to 2011 for diesel path transit agencies, and 2012 for alternative path transit agencies. The Board directed the Executive Officer to delay the ZBus purchase requirement through Resolution 09-49 at the July 2009 Board Meeting. In January 2010 “Mail-Out #MSC 10-04” notified all affected transit agencies of the ZBus purchase requirement suspension. Staff will be providing a ZBus status update to the Board in May 2014 and proposed amendments in December 2014.

The workshops will be held on three days and will each cover different technology and fuels sectors as follows: Sacramento September 2, 2014 about Truck and Bus Sectors September 3, 2014 about Transport Refrigeration Units, Rail, Fuels Diamond Bar September 9, 2014 about Ocean Going Vessels, Commercial Harbor Craft, Cargo Handling Equipment, Aviation A copy of the workshop notice and be found at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/tech/tech.htm. For those unable to attend in person, a live internet broadcast (webcasting) will be available. Background ARB’s 2012 Vision modeling showed that significant reductions in emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and greenhouse gases (GHGs) are needed to meet 2023 and 2032 air quality standards and 2050 climate goals. To achieve those goals, California must incorporate advanced technology and fuels. These technology assessments are the first step in that process. The technology assessments strive to answer the questions – how mature is the technology or fuel, in which applications does it work, and what might be done to further development and deployment? The technology assessments will evaluate the current state and projected development over the next 5 to 10 years of mobile source technologies and fuels. For each technology, the assessment will include: • a description of the technology • its suitability in different applications • the current state of technology development • current per-vehicle/equipment costs • anticipated costs at widespread deployment • emissions levels The results of the technology assessments will help identify the technology and fuels that could be used in the Sustainable Freight Strategy to move California towards a sustainable freight transport system that is characterized by increased efficiency and zero or near zero emissions. Separate workshops focusing on the Sustainable Freight Strategy will be held later in September. The results of the technology assessments will also help inform the development of future State Implementation Plans for ozone. Additional Information Presentations, agendas, as well as any additional material, will be available prior to each workshop at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/tech/tech.htm. The hard copy materials will also be available at each location on the day of the meeting.
