Public Hearing to Consider the Adoption of a Regulation to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Heavy-Duty Vehicles

On December 11, 2008, CARB will hold a hearing to consider adopting a regulation that would reduce greenhouse gas emissions from heavy-duty tractors pulling 53 foot-or-longer box-type trailers on California highways. It would accomplish this by requiring owners of tractors and trailers to use new U.S. EPA SmartWay Certified tractors and trailers, or retrofit existing tractors with U.S. EPA SmartWay-approved, low-rolling resistance tires and retrofit existing 53 foot or longer box-type trailers with U.S. EPA SmartWay-approved aerodynamic technologies and low-rolling resistance tires.
