UPCOMING CHANGES: CARB ACT
ATTENTION NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY, MASSACHUSETTS, OREGON, & WASHINGTON
As you prepare for the upcoming year, it is crucial to be aware of significant changes to the California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulations that will impact your chassis purchases starting in 2025. These changes are especially relevant for businesses operating in CARB Advanced Clean Truck (ACT) opt-in states.
KEY CHANGES:
INCREASED ZEV REQUIREMENTS
Beginning in 2025, the CARB ACT mandate requires a significant increase in Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) sales ratios. Specifically, 7% of new Class 8 tractor sales 11% of Class 6-8 rigid sales must be ZEVs. These percentages will continue to increase annually through 2025.
IMPACT ON INTERNAL COMBUSTION
The availability of Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) will be restricted as OEMs must now balance ICE sales with ZEV credits. For every ICE-powered vehicle, specific BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) sales must offset it. This will result in limited availability.
Massachusets and Oregon will implement stricter regulations, limiting internal combustion engine sales. Planning ahead is essential.
Due to supply chain constraints, ZEV lead times are expected to be longer. Early planning for your 2025 chassis purchases is crucial.
