Background

CARB’s comprehensive heavy-duty vehicle regulatory program includes multiple components to control emissions, starting with the engine certification process and continuing on with programs to monitor in-use vehicles and to accelerate vehicle turnover to cleaner technologies.

On February 11, 2019, CARB staff conducted a public workshop to solicit stakeholder ideas for potential strategies, including a HD I/M program, to help ensure heavy-duty vehicles operating in California are well maintained and have properly functioning emissions control systems for the duration of their on-road operations. At the workshop, CARB staff committed to convening a workgroup to solicit input on potential program options. Staff convened the first HD I/M workgroup meeting on May 14, 2019. Staff’s presentation from the February 11^th public workshop and information from the May 14^th HD I/M workgroup meeting are available from CARB’s web site.
