New regulations *USA - In California raise questions about APUs
If a truck can legally operate in all other states, can California put additional restrictions on it when it enters, even if it is driving through and not doing business there?..
CAL,USA -Land Line Magazine, by Paul Abelson -Aug. 10, 2007: -- With 2008 fast approaching, one of the most frequently asked questions among many truckers is, “What is going on in California regarding APUs?”... The folks at CARB seem to favor electric power sources, from either on-board or external sources. These include deep-cycle, battery-powered, on-board devices and shore power, including IdleAire... BUT ... The California regulations will apply to all trucks – but not RVs or motor homes – operating in the state. It won’t matter whether you’re picking up, delivering or just passing through, if your truck has an ’07 or newer engine, the rule will apply to you... Previously, California regulations applied only to vehicles sold or registered in the state... Questions have been raised as to whether this new approach violates the Interstate Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution because California is mandating equipment on trucks from other states. If a truck can legally operate in all other states, can California put additional restrictions on it when it enters, even if it is driving through and not doing business there?.. That will be a challenge for the lawyers to handle...
