The California Air Resources Board said it will delay enforcing certain registration or reporting provisions of its Advanced Clean Fleets regulation, just days ahead of a year-end deadline it had set for trucking companies.
Under the rule, drayage fleets and others deemed high priority had until Dec. 31 to register any combustion-powered truck operating at intermodal seaports or railyards. After that date, registering trucks with internal combustion engines would effectively be banned, as all new vehicles added to fleets would have to qualify under zero-emission truck standards.
