CARB Portable Rule
Fleet Requirements
Starting January 1, 2010, all portable diesel-fueled engines shall be certified to meet a federal or California standard for newly manufactured nonroad engines (that is, certified to Tier 1, 2 or 3 nonroad engine standards).
Each fleet is subject to and shall comply with the following weighted PM emission fleet averages expressed as grams per brake horsepower-hour (g/bhp-hr) by the listed compliance dates:
CARB Offroad Regulation
Regulatory Definition: “diesel fueled or alternative diesel fueled off-road compression ignition vehicle engine with maximum power of 25 horsepower (hp) or greater that is used to provide motive power in a workover rig or to provide motive power in any other motor vehicle that (1) cannot be registered and driven safely on-road or was not designed to be driven on-road, and (2) is not an implement of husbandry or recreational off-highway vehicle.
What’s out: “vehicles that were designed to be driven on-road, and have on-road engines are considered on-road and are specifically excluded from this regulation.”
Offroad Vehicle 2014 Action Plan
CARB Onroad (Truck & Bus Regulation)
Regulatory Definition: “Affected vehicles are those that operate on diesel-fuel, dual-fuel, or alternative diesel-fuel that are registered to be driven on public highways, were originally designed to be driven on public highways whether or not they are registered, yard trucks with on-road engines or yard trucks with off-road engines used for agricultural operations, both engines of two-engine sweepers, schoolbuses, and have a manufacturer’s gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) greater than 14,000 pounds (lbs).”
Sean’s Definition: If it looks like F450 or 4500 truck and bigger, if it drives like a truck and has a truck engine then it’s a truck regardless of DMV registration or whether it drives on public roads.
201 Engine Technology by 2023
What is 2010 Engine Technology? Cleanest for PM & NOx
When do I need to buy 2010 Engine Technology? Depends on fleet size, or Contractors license, or Truck type

Delinquent Citation Enforcement
• DMV “registration holds” (~2000 to date)• CHP “out of service process” per Vehicle Code
section 27159 (~500 to date -- vehicles held)• CARB obtains judgments in Sacramento
Superior Court under authority of California Health and Safety Code section 44011.6 (~ 3,500 obtained to date)
• CARB executes judgments to place liens on property, etc.
Enforcement Going Forward
• Roadside Inspections
• Weigh Stations
• TRUCRS “Compliance by Internet and Mail”
• “Competitive Compliance”1-(800) END SMOG
