Beginning January 1, 2013,
brokers, freight forwarders, shippers, and receivers may now be cited for using
transport refrigeration units (TRUs) that fail to meet the in-use emission
standards established by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
Citations
had previously been limited to motor carriers and drivers. A guidance document which spells out these
requirements and how to ensure compliance is available online. In addition,
CARB will limit the California operating life of certain new TRUs that do not
meet the more stringent federal non-road engine emission standards set to take
effect in 2013. An advisory detailing how new TRUs will be
subject to the CARB requirements is also available online.
