California's Clean Truck Check: New Rules & How Hi Tech Auto Care Can Help
California's Air Resources Board (CARB) has rolled out the Clean Truck Check program to reduce emissions from heavy-duty vehicles. If you own or operate a commercial truck in the state, it's crucial to understand these new requirements and ensure your fleet is compliant.
What is the Clean Truck Check?
The Clean Truck Check is a comprehensive heavy-duty vehicle inspection and maintenance (HD I/M) program designed to ensure that commercial trucks operating in California have properly functioning emissions control systems. It combines periodic testing with other monitoring techniques and enhanced enforcement to identify and address high-emitting vehicles.
Key Requirements:
Registration: All heavy-duty diesel and alternative fuel trucks operating in California must be registered in CARB's Clean Truck Check database.
Annual Compliance Fee: An annual fee of $30 per vehicle is required.
Periodic Testing: Trucks must undergo emissions testing at specified intervals, either through roadside inspections or at certified smog check stations.
Repairs: Any identified emissions-related issues must be repaired promptly.
