omb -- tru -- TRU (reefer) owners: Only 2 weeks left to qualify for compliance extension!

Posted: 14 Oct 2016 12:51:35
The California Air Resources Board (ARB) reminds model year (MY)
2009 TRU owners:.  If you want to qualify for compliance
extensions, only two weeks remain before the purchase order
deadline for ordering Level 3 verified diesel particulate filters
(DPF) for retrofitting your reefer engines.  

MY 2009 transport refrigeration unit (TRU) and TRU generator set
engines must comply with the TRU Regulation’s in-use performance
standards by December 31, 2016.  Please be aware that replacement
engines are no longer a compliance option because replacement
engines must be cleaner than the old engine being replaced and
there is no replacement engine that fits and functions that is
cleaner than an MY 2009 engine (see TRU Advisory 13-18, page 7
for more detailed explanation at: 
https://www.arb.ca.gov/diesel/tru/advisories.htm).

The TRU Regulation does not allow compliance extensions if orders
for verified diesel emissions control strategies, such as Level 3
DPFs, are placed after October 31st and installation is not
completed by December 31st, 2016.  However, if MY 2009 TRU engine
owners order verified diesel emissions control strategies
(VDECS), such as Level 3 DPFs, by the end of October,
installation by the end of 2016 is very likely possible.  More
importantly, if you order a Level 3 DPF before October 31st and
delivery or installation is delayed so that you can’t comply by
the end of 2016, you may qualify for a compliance extension.

To qualify for compliance extension:
•	Purchase orders for Level 3 DPFs must be placed by October
31st,
•	The TRU must be registered in ARB’s Equipment Registration
(ARBER) system, and
•	An application for extension must be submitted to ARB with the
required documentation by December 31, 2016.

Again, MY 2009 TRU engine owners that place orders for Level 3
VDECS after October 31st will NOT qualify for this compliance
extension if they discover they cannot comply by December 31st
due to delays in delivery or installation.
