CARB has several on-road diesel vehicle regulations. In-use regulations for on-road diesel vehicles used in municipalities, solid waste handling, utilities, and for drayage are complete, and vehicles subject to those regulations must already be in 100% compliance. Diesel on-road vehicles used in private fleets are now subject to the on-going Truck and Bus regulation. All of these regulations required owners to install diesel particulate filters (DPF) to reduce particulate matter (PM) emissions. The Truck and Bus regulation also requires vehicle replacement or retirement to reduce NOx emissions. These regulations exempt 100% emergency vehicles from any compliance requirements.
