requirements of the Tractor-Trailer Greenhouse Gas regulation
that extend the reporting deadline for large fleets with 21 or
more 53-foot or longer box-type trailers from July 1, 2011 to
August 1, 2011. The regulation provides large fleets with the
option to either bring all of their pre-2011 model year trailers
into compliance with the requirements of the regulation by July
1, 2013, or to phase-in compliance over a period of five years
with the condition that fleets first register with ARB if
choosing this option.
Advisory 429 extends the reporting deadline from the original
deadline of July 1, 2011 to August 1, 2011 to register for the
phase-in option.
Registration for the large fleet compliance phase-in option can
be completed at the following link:

ARB estimates that from 2010 to 2020, the regulation is expected
to reduce 33 million metric tons of CO2 emissions nationwide. The
more aerodynamic trucks and trailers are estimated to save about
3 billion gallons of diesel fuel from nationwide operations.
Fleet owners can expect to see a return on their investment for
skirts, tires and fairings within 2.3 years if they travel
100,000 miles per year.
