Typically run on non-CA diesel
CAL,USA -Land Line Magazine -2 Oct 2007: -- A study commissioned by the California Air Resources Board reveals that California-registered trucks are older than out-of-state trucks, and burn nearly as much non-CARB diesel as out-of-state trucks... On Monday, Oct. 1, CARB presented results from a study titled “Assessment of Out-of-State Truck Activity in California,” by Nicholas Lutsey and Christie-Joy Brodrick of the Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of California at Davis... The study revealed that nearly half of all out-of-state trucks operating in California were five years old or less, with 31 percent being two years old or newer. Comparatively, 12 percent of California-based trucks were two years old or newer, and 34 percent were five years old or newer... Also, 19.5 percent of California-based trucks were 15 years old or older, compared to 9.4 percent of out-of state trucks... (Photo by image07.webshots.com - Two old trucks)
