Subject: tru --  Businesses fined for air quality violations
From: dstanich@arb.ca.gov

Settlement of 33 cases generates $57K for community colleges,
$170K for pollution control.

Businesses fined for air quality violations

Settlement of 33 cases generates $57K for community colleges,
$170K for pollution control

SACRAMENTO - The Air Resources Board announced today that during
the fourth quarter of 2011 it settled 33 cases of air quality
violations by trucks and buses, mostly for failure to properly
conduct and pass self-inspections aimed at measuring vehicle
smoke emissions to ensure state requirements are met.

Of the $226,950 collected, $170,400.75 went to the California Air
Pollution Control Fund to support research to improve
California’s air quality.  In addition, $56,549.25 went to the
Peralta Community College District to fund classes at
participating California community colleges under the California
Council for Diesel Education and Technology program.

“The Air Resources Board has a long history of outreach to
businesses to keep them informed about how to keep in compliance
with state laws,” said Paul Jacobs, Chief of ARB’s Mobile Source
Enforcement Branch. “When companies fail to make necessary
changes or neglect to do what is required of them, we have to
take action in order to protect public health.”  

Fines totaled $$226,950; none from this group exceeded $25,000. 
The five companies paying the highest amounts were:

    * Dole Fresh Fruit, fined $24,750 for failing to properly
label its diesel-powered Transport Refrigeration Unit (TRU)
generator sets according to ARB regulations.
    * Hendrickson Trucking Inc., fined $19,875 for failing to
properly self-inspect its diesel trucks to assure the vehicles
met state smoke emission standards.
    * Dynalectric Los Angeles, fined $15,750 for failing to
properly self-inspect its diesel trucks to assure the vehicles
met state smoke emission standards.
    * United Food Group LLC, fined $13,725 for failing to bring
the company’s TRUs into compliance with state requirements, and
for failing to properly self-inspect its diesel trucks to assure
the vehicles met state smoke emission standards.
    * Harrison Trucking, Inc., fined $13,175 for failing to
properly self-inspect its diesel fleet to ensure compliance with
state smoke emission standards. 

Diesel exhaust contains a variety of harmful gases and over 40
other known cancer-causing compounds. In 1998, California
identified diesel particulate matter as a toxic air contaminant
based on its potential to cause cancer, premature death and other
health problems.

ARB's mission is to promote and protect public health, welfare,
and ecological resources through effective reduction of air
pollutants while recognizing and considering effects on the
economy. The ARB oversees all air pollution control efforts in
California to attain and maintain health based air quality
standards.

Subject: arbcombo -- May 24th Public Consultation Meeting on Investment of Auction Funds from California Cap-and-Trade Program
From: rding@arb.ca.gov

Please save the date for a public consultation meeting hosted by
the California Air Resources Board (ARB) on approaches for
investing auction proceeds from California’s cap-and-trade
program.   Panelists will discuss how California can most
effectively invest these funds to support the goals of Assembly
Bill 32 (AB 32) to reduce greenhouse gases, as well as encourage
long-term transformation to improve public health and develop a
clean energy economy.  The public can share ideas about what
criteria and programs should be prioritized in the development of
an investment plan.  ARB will soon be issuing a notice that
provides additional detail about the meeting and how to
participate.

DATE:		May 24, 2012

TIME:		1:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. PDT

PLACE: 	California Environmental Protection Agency Building
Byron Sher Auditorium, 2nd floor
1001 I Street
Sacramento, California 95814

A live webcast of the meeting will be available at:
http://www.calepa.ca.gov/broadcast/?BDO=1

The meeting notice will be available soon at: 
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/meetings/meetings.htm.

BACKGROUND:

The Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (Chapter 488, Statutes
of 2006 [AB 32, Núñez/Pavley]), requires California to reduce
statewide greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and to
maintain and continue reductions beyond 2020.  As part of this
effort, ARB has developed a cap-and-trade program. The program
establishes a statewide emissions limit on sources responsible
for 85 percent of greenhouse gases and creates a financial
incentive for investment in clean and efficient technologies.
Under the program, a portion of allowances required for
compliance will be auctioned. Strategic investment of auction
funds can further the purposes of AB 32 and deliver long-term
economic, environmental, and clean energy benefits. The first
auction is scheduled for November 2012 and auctions will be held
on a quarterly basis thereafter through 2020. 

ACCOMMODATION:  

To request special accommodations or language needs, please
contact Carol Wysong at 916.322.0289 as soon as possible, but no
later than 10 business days before the scheduled meeting.

Air Resources Board launches “Gear Up for Clean Truck Month” in
August

Statewide enforcement campaign to focus on compliance and
education

SACRAMENTO - August may be the dog days of summer, but in
California it’s also Gear Up for Clean Truck Month, with the Air
Resources Board launching a multi-agency campaign to make sure
that trucks traversing the state’s highways are in compliance
with state air pollution laws.

"Our goal this month is to do everything in our power to make
sure truckers know the rules and that they understand how to
comply," said ARB Executive Officer James Goldstene. "All our
diesel regulations were adopted with one thing in mind -
protecting public health.  Focusing on enforcement gives us the
chance not only to educate drivers on why the regulations are
important but also to ensure that truck owners investing in
cleaner equipment are on a level playing field with those who are
not playing by the rules.”

State measures aimed at cleaning up diesel vehicles include
requirements to report fleet information to ARB, employ
fuel-saving technology, install diesel soot filters and replace
or upgrade aging engines and transport refrigeration units.

Working in conjunction with the California Highway Patrol and
other allied agencies, ARB will deploy inspectors throughout the
state, focusing on trade hubs, weigh stations, ports, railyards
and major points of entry into the state.
 
The campaign is also geared to provide advice and educational
materials including information and fact sheets on how to follow
regulations, maintain equipment properly, and grants and funding
that may be available now and in the future to help purchase

Subject: tru -- TRU (reefer) owners:  Order deadlines approach for model year 2005 reefer engine compliance
From: rhill@arb.ca.gov

The California Air Resources Board (ARB) recommends that you take
immediate action to plan and order compliance options to ensure
model year 2005 transport refrigeration units (TRU or reefer)
comply by the end of 2012. 

Purchase orders must be placed soon for in-use TRU compliance
technology to qualify for a compliance extension.  The TRU
Airborne Toxic Control Measure allows compliance extensions if
delivery or installation is delayed; but, to qualify for these
extensions, the TRU must be registered in ARBER and purchase
orders must be placed early enough to take into account delivery,
installation, holiday, and year-end lead times.  The purchase
order deadlines are:

•	For engine repowers and TRU replacements:  By the end of August
- four months ahead of the compliance deadline; and

•	For verified diesel particulate filter retrofits:  By the end
of October - two months ahead of the compliance deadline.

For model year 2005 engines, owners must make a good-faith effort
to comply by the end of 2012.  If compliance cannot be achieved
by December 31, 2012, due to delays in delivery, installation, or
financing, reefer owners may apply for a compliance extension. 
To qualify for a compliance extension, the reefer must be
registered in ARBER, Purchase orders must be placed by the
purchase order deadlines listed above, and a compliance extension
application with attached supporting documentation must be
received at ARB by December 31, 2012.

The TRU Website is at:  http://www.arb.ca.gov/diesel/tru/tru.htm

The ARBER registration website is at: 
http://www.arb.ca.gov/arber/arber.htm

If you have questions about compliance or registration in ARBER,
please call the TRU Help Line at 1-888-878-2826 or call

Subject: tru -- ARB publishes TRU Advisory 12-22 on Compliance Requirements for Model Year 2008 and Newer TRU Engines Rated at Less Than 25 Horsepower
From: rhill@arb.ca.gov

The California Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) has posted TRU
Advisory 12-22 on the TRU Website. 

TRU Advisory 12-22 informs owners of model year 2008 and newer
diesel-fueled TRU engines that are rated at <25 hp of the
compliance steps they need to take to meet ARB’s TRU Regulation’s
Ultra Low Emission TRU (ULETRU) in-use performance standard.

More detailed information is provided in TRU Advisory 12-22,
which is posted on the TRU Website at: 
http://www.arb.ca.gov/diesel/tru/tru.htm.

Background:  TRUs are refrigeration systems powered by integral
diesel internal combustion engines designed to control the
environment of temperature-sensitive products that are
transported in trucks, trailers, shipping containers, and
railcars.  The emissions from these units are a source of
unhealthful air pollutants including particulate matter, toxic
air contaminants, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and
hydrocarbons, and pose a potential threat to both public health
and the environment. These units often congregate in large
numbers at California distribution centers, grocery stores, and
other facilities where they run for extended periods of time to
ensure their perishable contents remain cold or frozen. These
distribution and loading facilities are often in close proximity
to schools, hospitals, and residential neighborhoods.  In 2004,
the TRU Regulation was adopted by the Board to reduce diesel
particulate matter emissions from TRUs and TRU generator set
engines.  Amendments were adopted by the Board in November 2010
and October 2011.

Questions related to the TRU ATCM, TRU Advisory 12-22, or
registration of TRUs in ARB’s Equipment Registration (ARBER)
system may be emailed to arber@arb.ca.gov or called in to the TRU
Help Line at:  1-888-878-2826.

From: rhill@arb.ca.gov

The California Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) has posted TRU
Advisory 12-23 on the TRU Website. 

TRU Advisory 12-23 explains several prohibitions that apply to
the sale of noncompliant transport refrigeration units (TRU) and
TRU engines.  TRU Advisory 12-23 applies to manufacturers,
distributors, dealers, repair shops, auctioneers, motor carriers,
import/export agents, salvage yards, or any person that sells,
offers for sale, imports, delivers, purchases, receives, or
otherwise acquires TRUs, TRU generator sets, TRU engines or TRU
generator set engines.

More detailed information is provided in TRU Advisory 12-23,
which is posted on the TRU Website at: 
http://www.arb.ca.gov/diesel/tru/tru.htm.

Background:  TRUs are refrigeration systems powered by integral

Subject: tru -- ACTION REQUIRED  Verify Your TRU and TRU Gen Set Compliance Status in ARBER
From: rhill@arb.ca.gov

Data for transport refrigeration units (TRU) and TRU generator
sets (gen set) collected through the Air Resources Board
Equipment Registration (ARBER) program has been updated with
manufacturer information. 

Serial numbers for registered TRUs and gen sets - model year 2006
and newer - have been matched with serial numbers supplied by
manufacturers. This updated data has revealed potentially
miss-keyed information.  In some instances this created
conflicting information that requires fleet manager attention.

Corrections to individual ARBER registrations may be necessary.

If a unit’s serial number provided by the registrant does not
match the serial number provided by the manufacturer, the TRU or
gen set status may have been changed from “compliant” to “pending
verification.” This has occurred to many applications and
requires fleet managers to assure the accuracy of their supplied
data.

What needs to be done?

Fleet managers must log into ARBER and check to see if any
previously compliant TRUs or gen sets now have a “pending
verification” status.  Fleet managers with large numbers of units
registered in ARBER may click on the “Reports” tab and download a
complete list of their units in PDF or CSV format. 

If the compliance status for a unit is found to be “pending
verification”, the unit’s serial number should be double-checked.
Corrections may be submitted through the TRU Help Line at
1-888-878-2826.  Photos of the unit label with serial number may
need to be submitted.  ARB staff is working with manufacturers to
eliminate the pending-verification status for those cases where a
valid serial number was entered.

Why is this Important?

This correction will be important to “for-hire” common carriers
that will need to show that their TRUs are compliant in order to
transport perishable goods on California highways.  In addition,
the in-use compliance date may be affected by these corrections.

Beginning January 1, 2013, freight brokers, forwarders, shippers,
or receivers will be required to only hire or contract with
carriers that can show they can dispatch TRUs compliant with
California’s in-use performance standards.  The business entity
that arranges, hires, or contracts with carriers must require
that their carriers only dispatch TRU-equipped trucks, trailers,
shipping containers, and railcars or gen sets that comply with
the California’s in-use performance standards, if they travel on
the state’s highways or railways.  Carriers will need to provide
proof-of-compliance to the hiring business entity before they can
be hired.  One way to show compliance is to be on ARB’s “100
Percent-Compliant Carrier List.”

Carriers that have registered TRUs in ARBER that are all
compliant with the TRU Regulation’s in-use standards will be
listed on ARB’s “100 Percent-Compliant Carrier List.”  Freight
brokers, freight forwarders, shippers and receivers may look up a
carrier by their company name or U.S. DOT motor-carrier number. 
They may also query ARBER for a complete list of 100
Percent-Compliant Carriers, or narrow the list to a city, county,
or state/province.  The beta test version of the “100
Percent-Compliant Carrier List” is at: 
https://arber.arb.ca.gov/publicTCCReports.arb 

Carriers are encouraged to examine the list and act now to clear
up any discrepancies in their registration information.  Many
carriers still need to enter their U.S. DOT Motor Carrier Numbers
in ARBER.  Take action now to assure good standing when the new
compliant-only hiring requirement goes into effect on January 1,
2013.

Carriers based outside of California wishing to be placed on the
list, should register their TRUs and gen sets in ARBER.  ARBER
will check the registration information before issuing a
compliance certification.  Registrants should be careful to enter
complete and accurate information.

In addition, when a TRU’s or TRU gen set’s compliance information
changes, the carrier must update ARBER as soon as possible to
assure current information is used to determine compliance
status.  For example, when an owner takes steps to bring a unit
into compliance, they need to update ARBER to reflect that
change.  The 100 Percent-Compliant Carrier List is updated in
real time and is current at the time of look-up or download.

Subject: tru -- ARB approves Huss DPF installation on bobtail TRUs
From: rhill@arb.ca.gov

The California Air Resources Board has approved Huss LLC’s “kit”
for installing their MK-35 and MK-50 diesel particulate filters
(DPF) on bobtail transport refrigeration units (TRU). 

Huss MK series DPFs use active regeneration to burn off the
collected diesel soot.  This allows the filter to be mounted away
from the engine, when necessary.  Since there is not enough space
in the TRU housing to mount the Huss DPF, a frame-rail mount,
under the refrigerated van, was evaluated and approved.  This
mounting configuration meets all of the conditions in ARB’s
verification Executive Order for MK-35 and MK-50 DPFs. 
Temperatures around the DPF, exhaust tubing, and the integrity of
the installation have been monitored and approved.  The Huss
MK-35 and MK-50 DPFs reduce diesel PM emissions by greater than
85 percent (verified to meet Level 3), which means they can be
used as an Ultra-Low-Emission TRU (ULETRU) in-use performance
standard compliance option for bobtail TRUs.

Subject: tru -- TRU (reefer) owners:  VDECS Retrofit Purchase Order Deadline Approaching
From: rhill@arb.ca.gov

If you missed the August deadline for ordering new replacement
TRU engines for model year 2005 transport refrigeration units
(TRU) or new replacement TRUs, the California Air Resources Board
(ARB) recommends that you take immediate action to plan and order
diesel particulate filter compliance technology so that you can
bring model year 2005 units into compliance by the end of 2012. 

Model year 2005 TRU engines must comply with the TRU Regulation’s
in-use performance standards by December 31, 2012.  It is most
likely too late to place orders for replacement engines or
replacement units for delivery and installation by December 31st.
 However, if you order verified diesel emissions control
strategies (VDECS), such as diesel particulate filters, by the
end of October, installation by the end of 2012 is most likely
possible.  If you order VDECS in October and delivery or
installation is delayed so that you can’t comply by the end of
2012, you may qualify for a compliance extension.  To qualify for
this extension, purchase orders for VDECS must be placed by
October 31st and the TRU must be registered in ARB’s Equipment
Registration (ARBER) system.  Owners that place orders for VDECS
after October 31st will not qualify for this compliance
extension, even if they cannot comply by December 31st.

Also, beginning January 1, 2013, California law will require
freight brokers, forwarders, shippers, and receivers to only hire
and dispatch TRU-equipped trucks, trailers, shipping containers,
and railcars that are compliant with the in-use performance
standards if the perishable load will travel on California
highways or railways.  Carriers will need to be able to show the
business entity that hires the carrier that they have compliant
equipment.  Please take steps now to make sure you are ready to
show you are compliant.  Please review ARB’s "Guidance for
Brokers, Forwarders, Shippers, Receivers, Carriers and Drivers:

Subject: tru -- TRU (Reefer) In-Use Compliance Technology Availability Update
From: rhill@arb.ca.gov

The California Air Resources Board has received clarification
regarding compliance options for model year 2005 transport
refrigeration units (TRU) that need to meet the in-use
performance standards by December 31, 2012. 

Replacement engine availability may have improved so that
repowering model year 2005 TRUs with new, cleaner engines may be
possible by December 31, 2012, if you order now.  Call your TRU
engine dealers and installers now to place your replacement
engine purchase orders while engines may still in stock and
technicians and installation facilities may be available.  

Please be aware that the TRU Regulation’s purchase order deadline
for replacement engines has passed, as of August 31, 2012; so,
compliance extensions will not be granted for replacement engines
purchased after that date if engine installation cannot be
completed by December 31, 2012.  That is why it is important for
owners of model year 2005 TRUs to place their purchase orders for
replacement engines as soon as possible, while engines may still
in stock.  

If your TRU engine dealer and installer cannot commit to
completing the engine repower by December 31, 2012, you may need
to consider a different compliance option; and instead, you may
need to place an order for a verified diesel emissions control
strategy (VDECS), such as a diesel particulate filter.  The
purchase order deadline for VDECS is October 31, 2012.  If you
order your VDECS by October 31st, you may qualify for a
compliance extension if delivery and installation are delayed and
compliance is not possible by December 31, 2012.

Repowering with a new, cleaner engine will not meet the required
Ultra-Low Emissions TRU (ULETRU) in-use performance standard;
however, repowering does reset the compliance date for meeting
the ULETRU in-use standard to seven years after the replacement
engine’s effective model year.  Therefore, a model year 2012
replacement engine would still need to meet ULETRU by December
31, 2019, to remain in compliance after that date.

If you elect to comply by retrofitting an in-use engine with a
VDECS that meets ULETRU, please be sure to only order a Level 3
VDECS, which will reduce diesel PM emissions by at least 85
percent.  Once a TRU meets the ULETRU in-use standard, there are
no more-stringent in-use performance standards that apply.

Also, beginning January 1, 2013, California law will require
freight brokers, forwarders, shippers, and receivers to only hire
and dispatch TRU-equipped trucks, trailers, shipping containers,
and railcars that are compliant with the in-use performance
standards if the perishable load will travel on California
highways or railways. Carriers will need to be able to show the
business entity that hires the carrier that they have compliant
TRUs. Please take steps now to make sure you are ready to show
your TRUs are compliant. First, make sure your TRUs are compliant
with the TRU in-use standards.  Then, register them in ARB's
Equipment Registration (ARBER) system so that you can print out
an ARBER Certification Page for each TRU and present that to
freight brokers, forwarders, shippers, or receivers.  The hiring
business entity will need proof of compliance, such as the ARBER
Certification Page, before they can hire you. For further
explanation of these new requirements, please review ARB’s
"Guidance for Brokers, Forwarders, Shippers, Receivers, Carriers
and Drivers: Hiring and Contracting TRU-Carrier Transport of
Perishable Goods on California Highways and Railways" at:

Subject: arbcombo -- Compliance Reminder: Use only ARB Verified PM filters
From: rding@arb.ca.gov

Be aware that some companies are advertising and attempting to
sell devices that cannot be used to comply with Air Resources
Board (ARB) diesel engine regulations.  Only diesel particulate
matter (PM) filters or other devices that have been verified by
the ARB to meet rigorous emission reduction and durability
demonstration requirements can be used to comply.  Diesel PM
filters that have been verified by the ARB are listed at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/diesel/verdev/vt/cvt.htm.  Be sure to check
that any device you are considering is on this list.  You may
also choose to contact an authorized installer to learn more
about verified PM filter retrofit options at:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/decsinstall/decsinstall.htm. 
 
In addition, diesel engines that operate on biodiesel or have
been modified to operate in combination with diesel fuel and
alternative fuels must still meet the same emission reduction
requirements as other diesel engines and are not exempt from the
regulations.

For additional information about in-use diesel engine
requirements, please visit the Truck Stop at:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/truckstop, call 866-6DIESEL (866-634-3735)
or email us at: 8666diesel@arb.ca.gov

Background:

The Air Resources Board has adopted a number of regulations that
require diesel engine owners to reduce toxic air pollution
emissions.  These regulations are part of the State’s plan to
meet federal ambient air quality standards and to protect public
health.  Between 2012 and 2023, nearly all trucks and buses that
operate in California with a manufacturer’s gross vehicle weight
rating greater than 14,000 pounds will need to upgrade to reduce
exhaust emissions.  Similar clean-up requirements are already in
effect for operators of vehicles in drayage operations (ports and
rail) and transport refrigeration units (reefers),  Additionally,
comparable requirements for owners of certain off-road equipment,
including equipment used in construction, industrial, and airport
operations, will take effect soon.  To comply with these
requirements, fleet owners may retrofit existing engines by
installing ARB verified diesel PM filters or by upgrading to
newer cleaner engines.

Subject: tru -- TRU (reefer) owners:  Wednesday, October 31st is last chance to order VDECS retrofits if you want to qualify for a compliance extension!
From: rhill@arb.ca.gov

The California Air Resources Board (ARB) wants model year 2005
transport refrigeration unit (TRU) owners to be aware that this
Wednesday, October 31st is the last day to purchase Verified
Diesel Emissions Control Strategies (VDECS), such as diesel
particulate filters, to ensure they will qualify for a compliance
extension if delivery or installation is delayed beyond the
December 31st deadline. 

Model year 2005 TRU engines must comply with the TRU Regulation’s
in-use performance standards by December 31, 2012.

Purchase orders for VDECS that are placed after October 31st will
not qualify for compliance extension if delivery or installation
is delayed past December 31, 2012.  Noncompliant TRUs that don't
qualify for an extension will need to cease operations in
California until they can be brought into compliance or risk
citation with penalty.

To qualify for these compliance extensions due to delayed
delivery or installation, the TRU must be registered in ARBER and
purchase orders must be placed by the purchase order deadlines
for VDECS (e.g. diesel particulate filter retrofits):  By
Wednesday, October 31st.

Compliance extension applications, with attached supporting
documentation, must be received at ARB by December 31, 2012.

health and the environment. These units often congregate in large
numbers at California distribution centers, grocery stores, and
other facilities where they run for extended periods of time to
ensure their perishable contents remain cold or frozen. These
distribution and loading facilities are often in close proximity
to schools, hospitals, and residential neighborhoods.  In 2004,
the TRU Airborne Toxic Control Measure (ATCM) was adopted by the
Board to reduce diesel particulate matter emissions from TRUs and

From: rhill@arb.ca.gov

The California Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) has posted TRU
Advisory 12-24 on the TRU Website. 

TRU Advisory 12-24 explains issues related to purchasing
transport refrigeration units (TRU) equipped with flexibility
engines after the Tier 4 Final (Tier 4f) new engine emissions
standard for 25 to 50 horsepower (hp) engines goes into effect in
2013.

More detailed information is provided in TRU Advisory 12-24,
which is posted on the TRU Website at: 
http://www.arb.ca.gov/diesel/tru/tru.htm.

Background:  TRUs are refrigeration systems powered by integral
diesel internal combustion engines designed to control the
environment of temperature-sensitive products that are
transported in trucks, trailers, shipping containers, and
railcars.  The emissions from these units are a source of
unhealthful air pollutants including particulate matter, toxic
air contaminants, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and
hydrocarbons, and pose a potential threat to both public health
and the environment. These units often congregate in large
numbers at California distribution centers, grocery stores, and
other facilities where they run for extended periods of time to
ensure their perishable contents remain cold or frozen. These
distribution and loading facilities are often in close proximity
to schools, hospitals, and residential neighborhoods.  In 2004,
the TRU Regulation was adopted by the Board to reduce diesel
particulate matter emissions from TRUs and TRU generator set
engines.  Amendments were adopted by the Board in November 2010
and October 2011.

Questions related to the TRU ATCM, TRU Advisory 12-24, or
registration of TRUs in ARB’s Equipment Registration (ARBER)
system may be emailed to arber@arb.ca.gov or called in to the TRU
Help Line at:  1-888-878-2826.

Subject: tru -- ARB Publishes Regulatory Guidance for Electric Standby and Hybrid Electric Compliance Options for TRUs (reefers)
From: rhill@arb.ca.gov

The California Air Resources Board (ARB or Board) has posted
Regulatory Guidance for Electric Standby and Hybrid Electric
Systems for Transport Refrigeration Units (TRU). 

This guidance document explains requirements for the use of
electric standby and hybrid electric systems (together referred
to as E/S) as an option for compliance with California’s TRU
regulations' in-use performance standards.  A TRU’s compliance
can be maintained beyond seven years if an E/S system is
integrated into the equipment and used within the guidelines for
an Alternative Technology.  Also provided are specifications for
businesses interested in providing electronic-tracking systems
(ETS) to affected TRU owners.

These requirements were added in the 2011 Amendments.  Manual
recordkeeping is required, beginning November 14, 2012.  ETS
includes automated monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting, with
GPS tracking, and is required beginning January 1, 2013, for 50
percent of a fleet’s TRUs that are complying with the TRU
Regulation’s in-use standards by using E/S systems.  The
remaining 50 percent of a fleet’s E/S-equipped TRUs that are
complying with the in-use standards by using E/S must be equipped
with ETS by January 1, 2014.  TRUs using E/S must be registered
in ARBER to qualify as compliant.

ARB’s Guidance for E/S and ETS may be downloaded at:

Subject: arbcombo -- Avoid Penalties  2013 Enforcement Reminder
From: rding@arb.ca.gov

The California Air Resources Board (ARB) has issued an
enforcement reminder letter for vehicles subject to the Truck and
Bus Regulation that have year-end clean-up requirements.   The
letter reminds fleets that heavier vehicles with 2000 to 2004
model year engines that they must have verified soot filters
and/or upgrades to newer vehicles by January 1, 2013. Similar
requirements for vehicles with 1996 to 1999 model year engines
became effective earlier this year. Vehicles may also be eligible
for certain flexibility options.

The letter can be found at:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/truckstop/pdfs/enf-tb-letter2.pdf

ARB intends to promptly enforce the January 1, 2013 requirements.
 Non-compliant vehicles may not be operated in California and
will be assessed penalties that start at a minimum of $1,000 per
violation per month and increase significantly over time. Do not
delay in taking action to clean up your fleet - the installation
of a PM filter may take a month or longer to accomplish; however,
you may be able to significantly reduce penalties by taking
action now.

For additional information about in-use diesel engine
requirements, please visit the Truck Stop at:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/truckstop, call 866-6DIESEL (866-634-3735)
or email us at: 8666diesel@arb.ca.gov

Background:
  
The Air Resources Board has adopted a number of regulations that
require diesel engine owners to reduce toxic air pollution
emissions.  These regulations are part of the State’s plan to
meet federal ambient air quality standards and to protect public
health.  Between 2012 and 2023, nearly all trucks and buses that
operate in California with a manufacturer’s gross vehicle weight
rating greater than 14,000 pounds will need to upgrade to reduce
exhaust emissions.  To comply with these requirements, fleet
owners may retrofit existing engines by installing ARB verified
diesel PM filters or by upgrading to newer cleaner engines.
