The Air Resources Board (ARB) staff invites you to participate in
a series of public workshops to discuss technology and fuels
assessments for trucks and buses, transport refrigeration units,
rail, fuels, ocean-going vessels, commercial harbor craft, cargo
handling equipment, and aviation.
The workshops will be held on three days and will each cover
different technology and fuels sectors as follows:
Sacramento
September 2, 2014 about Truck and Bus Sectors
September 3, 2014 about Transport Refrigeration Units, Rail,
Fuels
Diamond Bar
September 9, 2014 about Ocean Going Vessels, Commercial Harbor
Craft, Cargo Handling Equipment, Aviation
A copy of the workshop notice and be found at:

attend in person, a live internet broadcast (webcasting) will be
available.
Background
ARB's 2012 Vision modeling showed that significant reductions in
emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and greenhouse gases (GHGs)
are needed to meet 2023 and 2032 air quality standards and 2050
climate goals. To achieve those goals, California must
incorporate advanced technology and fuels. These technology
assessments are the first step in that process. The technology
assessments strive to answer the questions – how mature is the
technology or fuel, in which applications does it work, and what
might be done to further development and deployment?
The technology assessments will evaluate the current state and
projected development over the next 5 to 10 years of mobile
source technologies and fuels. For each technology, the
assessment will include:
• a description of the technology
• its suitability in different applications
• the current state of technology development
• current per-vehicle/equipment costs
• anticipated costs at widespread deployment
• emissions levels
The results of the technology assessments will help identify the
technology and fuels that could be used in the Sustainable
Freight Strategy to move California towards a sustainable freight
transport system that is characterized by increased efficiency
and zero or near zero emissions. Separate workshops focusing on
the Sustainable Freight Strategy will be held later in September.
The results of the technology assessments will also help inform
the development of future State Implementation Plans for ozone.
Additional Information
Presentations, agendas, as well as any additional material, will
be available prior to each workshop at:

materials will also be available at each location on the day of
the meeting.
