On July 26, 2007, the Air Resources Board (ARB) adopted a regulation to reduce diesel particulate matter (PM) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions from in-use (existing) off-road heavy-duty diesel vehicles in California. Such vehicles are used in construction, mining, and industrial operat...
The regulation seeks to accelerate adoption of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) in the medium-and heavy-duty truck sector and reduce emissions from on-road sources. The most prominent change was to increase manufacturers’ sales targets for battery or fuel cell electric vehicles in California across a...
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to implement off-road diesel emission regulations on existing engines. Under the petition, it asks for authority to impose diesel emissions clean-up requirements on non-road diesel engines of at least 25 horsepower. Moreover, the compliance would include the ...

CARB's main goals: •Provide Safe, Clean air to All Californians. •Protecting the Public from Exposure to Toxic Air Contaminants; •Reducing California's Emission of Greenhouse Gases; Providing Leadership in Implementing and Enforcing Air Pollution Control Rules and Regulations ...
In the coming months, CARB will also consider two complementary regulations to support this action, the organization stated. The first sets a stringent new limit on NOx (oxides of nitrogen), one of the major precursors of smog. This will require that new trucks that still use fossil fuels in...
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) is in the process of re-writing regulations designed to control airborne asbestos emissions from road grading, quarrying, or other earth moving operations. As part of this re-write, CARB has proposed a new definition of asbestos that incorporates nearly ...

The most prominent change was to increase manufacturers’ sales targets for battery or fuel cell electric vehicles in California across ...
The new regulations will take effect on Jan. 1, 2013, and require reductions of as much as 90 percent in particulate matter and 30 percent in nitrogen oxide for all new, non-road engines of less than 50 HP, which includes those used in transport refrigeration units. [Read more...] Tr...
CARB regulations make sure that small, off-road engines are built to ensure clean running, energy efficiency, durability, and reliability. Manufacturers of standby generators and other small engines are responsible for having their products certified by CARB and the EPA. This involves several steps:...
