CARB Regulations: Let Bobcat Help You Cope with CARB
What is CARB?
In July 2007, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) approved a regulation to reduce emissions from existing off-road diesel vehicles used in California in construction, mining, and other industries. The regulation is expected to help reduce emissions from in-use off-road diesel vehicles, which is necessary to meet federally imposed clean air standards.
Any person, business, or government agency that own or operates diesel-power off-road vehicles in California—except for agriculture or homeowners with acreage—with having a maximum power of 25 hp or greater are subject to the regulations. It also applies to self-propelled diesel-fueled vehicles that cannot be registered and licensed to drive on-road.
