As you may be aware, pre-2010 tractor engine model years will be unable to operate in California starting January 1, 2023.
 
The Truck and Bus Regulation allows for vehicles to continue to be driven in California while waiting for their replacement vehicle by claiming the manufacturer delay extension in TRUCRS.
 
If you have purchased a new vehicle that will replace your pre-210 tractor on or before September 1, 2022, you can operate your pre-210 tractor in California if you claim the extension.
 
You are required to claim the extension in the TRUCRS online database from January 1, 2023 – January 31, 2023.
 
You must update the information about the existing vehicle to be replaced by selecting “None” as the compliance option.
 
After you update the vehicle information in TRUCRS, you must send an email to TRUCRS staff at TRUCRS@arb.ca.gov with a copy of the purchase agreement, TRUCRs ID number, the vehicle identification number (VIN) of the existing vehicle to be replaced.
