On December 13, 2011 the state’s on-line reporting database went live and all fleets must report by the deadline if they seek to phase-in requirements, claim credits for downsizing or apply for time extensions.
CleanFleets.net is assisting hundreds of fleets and welcome your call for fee-based reporting assistance. A self-help guide is available from the ARB or you can download it HERE

Since the late 1990’s fleet owners have been required to perform an annual opacity test (known as “snap idle” or PSIP) on trucks greater than 6,000 lbs GVWR. Failure to perform the test when applicable is a violation of state law.

Since 2007 an emissions control label is required on all 1974 and newer diesel vehicle engines on California roads. The ECL contains key information about your future compliance requirements.
Know the law...

…and avoid the fines.

During the summer of 2012, over 7,200 diesel program inspections took place resulting in hundreds of citations.


In these tight budget times fleet managers should avoid becoming a statistic.
