About The Rule
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) is currently formulating regulations that could affect the more than 1.5 million trucks and buses in use on California’s roads, highways and farms.
Given the millions of consumer and industrial goods and products delivered via truck each day in the State, these regulations threaten to have a profound, negative impact on the economy. What CARB is proposing to adopt are the nation’s most stringent new emissions regulations that could also be the most costly and far reaching rule that business has yet to face.
Many industries covered by this rule have also been subject to other recent regulations, further burdening California’s industries under the weight of overregulation.
This rule applies to diesel engines and means owners of these engines, many of whom are small business owners, will be required to replace the most critical asset in their business in just a few short years. And, if the rule goes into effect, the market will be flooded with “outdated” trucks greatly diminishing their ability to sell used equipment or recoup any resale value.
The coalition is committed to working with CARB and the other stakeholders in this process to develop a sensible rule that cleans the air while keeping California’s economy moving forward.
