arbcombo -- PUBLIC WORKSHOP TO DISCUSS PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE CALIFORNIA EMISSION SYSTEM WARRANTY REGULATIONS FOR ON ROAD HEAVY DUTY VEHICLES
Posted: 09 Jun 2017 16:46:46
The California Air Resources Board (CARB or Board) invites you to participate in a public workshop to learn more about staff’s proposed regulatory amendments to Title 13, California Code of Regulations, Section 2036, regarding Heavy Duty Vehicle (HDV) emission warranty requirements. Specifically, staff’s presentation will focus on the need for longer HDV emission warranty periods in California. The workshop will be held at the following location and times. Date: Wednesday, July 12, 2017 Time: 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. Location: South Coast Air Quality Management District Auditorium 21865 Copley Drive Diamond Bar, California 91765 A link to the workshop location is provided below: Location: https://goo.gl/maps/iz4RqCogjg62 For more information on this workshop, see the workshop notice at: https://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/mailouts/msc1712/msc1712.pdf For more information on the HDV warranty program, as well as information on the development of other HD Low-NOx control measures, please visit our website at: https://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/hdlownox/hdlownox.htm If you have questions on the subject matter of this workshop, please contact Mr. Jeff Lowry at (626) 575-6841, or via email at jlowry@arb.ca.gov. If you wish to receive information regarding HDV warranty regulatory amendments in the future, please sign up for the HD Low-NOx list serve “hdlownox” at the following link: https://www.arb.ca.gov/listserv/listserv.php Background: A key measure in CARB’s Revised Proposed 2016 State Strategy for the State Implementation Plan (State SIP Strategy) is ensuring that in-use heavy-duty vehicles continue to operate at their cleanest possible level (Lower In-Use Emission Performance Level). Amendments to warranty provisions are an important part of that measure. The State SIP Strategy is critical for attaining federal health-based air quality standards for ozone in 2023 and 2031 in the South Coast and San Joaquin Valley air basins, as well as fine particulate matter standards in the next decade. CARB is considering lengthening the required warranty period for HDVs because the current warranty period does not reflect real-world longevity and because longer warranty periods would result in lower NOx emissions. Class 8 HDVs frequently operate upwards of a million miles before major overhaul is needed, but they are required to be warranted for only 100,000 miles under CARB and U.S. EPA regulations. Classes 4 through 7 HDVs also have relatively short warranty periods compared to when major overhaul is needed. With longer required warranty periods, manufacturers would need to design more durable emission control systems and components. A proposal for longer HDV emission warranty periods is scheduled for Board consideration in December 2017.
