CAL,USA -eTrucker -4 Dec 2008: -- California trucking operators are trying to convince the state’s environment bureaucracy that upcoming emissions regulations should be postponed or modified because of the compliance cost in a shaky economy.
The group’s alternative proposal would:
• Allow for more flexible mileage exemptions for older model year vehicles meeting certain mileage thresholds. These vehicles would use an alternative compliance schedule while still realizing emission reductions.
• Encourage early incentive provisions for the purchase and use of new clean technology.
• Require CARB to factor in the cumulative effect of multiple regulations, to permit compliance on a schedule that considers the financial impacts of all rules rather than the schedule required by each rule.
• Require CARB to investigate and address operational and other safety considerations of new retrofit technology.
