Prop 1B and the Used trucks market

“WE ARE AN APPROVED DEALER FOR AQMD CALIFORNIA SUBSIDIZED PROGRAMS”

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this program is to reduce emissions by the replacement of old, heavy-duty diesel trucks engaged in goods movement, including drayage and non-drayage trucks. The diesel pollution from current goods movement operations greatly impacts the health of community residents near ports, rail yards, distribution centers, and roads with high truck traffic.
Various programs provide a financial incentive to truck owners/operators as a strategy to reduce diesel-related emissions from freight movement activities within California trade corridor. The programs are intended to accelerate the turnover of older heavy-duty diesel trucks by providing incentive funding to replace these trucks with newer ’07 EPA Motors, lower-emitting heavy-duty diesel or natural gas trucks. The old diesel trucks approved under this program will be required to be scrapped by an AQMD-approved dismantler to ensure the emission benefits of this truck replacement program are achieved.

GENERAL PROGRAM INFORMATION
This Program Announcement is seeking project proposals for the replacement of pre-2004 heavy-duty diesel trucks engaged in goods movement with MY 2007 and newer heavy-duty diesel or natural gas trucks that are equipped with engines certified by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) under the heavy-duty test cycle to show that the engines comply with both FEL and CERT values equal to or lower than 1.20 g/bhp hr for NOx and 0.01 g/bhp hr for PM.
