RULES * USA - California Eyes Delay for On-Road One
CARB staff to study relief measures for recession-battered industry
Sacramento,CAL,USA -The Journal of Commerce Online, by Bill Mongelluzzo -Feb 12, 2010: -- The California Air Resources Board will most likely give over-the-road truckers more time to comply with a rule designed to reduce diesel emissions from heavy-duty vehicles... Phased implementation of the On-Road Truck and Bus Regulation was scheduled to begin at the end of this year. It will require the phasing out of older trucks until 2023 when100 percent of the on-road trucks in California must be 2010 model or newer vehicles... The California Trucking Association and other industry organizations told CARB that due to the economic recession, which hit the trucking industry especially hard, many truckers can not afford to purchase costly new trucks at this time... Furthermore, reduced miles driven during the freight recession have probably reduced diesel emissions from trucking by about 20 percent, thereby relieving some of the urgency of early implementation of the regulation...
