Deadlines for California Reefer Requirements

Fleets that operate transport refrigeration units (TRUs) with 2005 model-year engines in California, whether domiciled in the state or not, have until December 31, 2012 to either replace these units with newer models or engines or retrofit them with California Air Resources Board (CARB) verified diesel particulate filters.  

CARB will allow for installation delays past this date if a TRU is registered with CARB and a purchase order for a new unit or engine has been placed by the end of August. For filters, purchase orders must be placed by the end of October. 

A copy of the order notice is available online. Contact Mike Tunnell at mtunnell@trucking.org.
