State Trucking CARB Regs Create Challenges for Fleets.
The challenges faced by trucking fleets due to California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulations that mandate stricter emission standards. These regulations, which aim to reduce air pollution and promote cleaner transportation, have a significant impact on the trucking industry, particularly in California where the CARB policies are most stringent. Fleets must adapt to these evolving standards, which include upgrading vehicles to meet new emission requirements, as well as complying with regulations on engine standards, truck size, and other operational factors.
The article highlights the complexity of managing these regulations, as each state may have different emission requirements, making it difficult for fleets operating across state lines. Additionally, the significant costs of upgrading fleets to meet these stringent standards can strain operations, especially for smaller fleets.
