Government Affairs Update
 
The Office of Administrative Law (OAL) has approved the Advanced Clean Trucks regulation. Large entities operating or dispatching vehicles with a manufacturer’s gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) greater than 8,500 lbs. (such as trucks, buses, and vans) must report by April 1, 2021, if they meet any of the criteria. 
 
Who Must Report
Large entities (fleet owners, businesses, government agencies, municipalities, brokers, etc.) will report information about their vehicles over 8,500 lbs. GVWR (hereafter referred to as “vehicle”) if in 2019 they operated a facility in California and meet any of the criteria.
 
What Information Needs to be Reported
Affected entities will need to report general entity information, home-base locations, and information about their vehicles (including off-road yard trucks) and how the vehicles are operated. Vehicle operation includes information about vehicle body types, daily miles traveled, where they are fueled, and other usage characteristics.
 
You can access training videos, reporting instructions, a reporting guidance document, and the reporting form at the Large Entity One-Time Reporting website.
 
The California Air Resources Board is currently proposing a regulation that would make nearly every truck in California to be zero-emissions, with initial requirements beginning as early as 2023 and nearly 100% of trucks subject to the requirement by 2040. 
 
Please join us for an educational webinar on March 25, 2021 with CARB staff who will explain their current proposal. This regulation is expected to be heard by the CARB Board by December of this year. We highly recommend all fleets participate. | Register
