Railcar TRUs and TRU gen sets are exempt from the requirements of this subsection (a). Beginning December 31, 2022, no owner or owner/operator shall operate or cause to be operated in California, a TRU with a manufacture date after December 31, 2022, unless the
(1) TRU uses a refrigerant with a GWP value less than or equal to 2,200, or uses no refrigerant at all.(2) Beginning December 31, 2022, no owner or owner/operator shall operate or cause to be operated in California, a TRU with a manufacture date after December 31, 2022, with an unreadable or inadequately maintained TRU OEM supplied refrigerant label.(b) Zero-Emission Truck TRU Requirements. The term TRU as used in this subsection (b) refers only to truck TRUs. Trailer TRUs, DSC TRUs, railcar TRUs, and TRU gen sets are exempt from the requirements of this subsection (b). (1) Beginning December 31, 2023, no owner or owner/operator shall operate or cause to be operated in California, any truck TRU in the owner's truck TRU fleet, unless the fleet meets or exceeds the required ZE truck TRU fleet percentages specified in Table 3. TRU owners shall replace their diesel-powered truck TRUs with ZE truck TRUs in accordance with the fleet percentages and phase-in compliance schedule specified in Table 3. The required number of ZE truck TRUs is based on the truck TRU fleet size reported to CARB on December 31, 2023 or December 31 of each year, whichever reported truck TRU fleet size is greater. A TRU owner may downsize their truck TRU fleet size only if the TRU owner has not purchased additional direct-drive refrigeration units, in which the compressor is powered from the truck's diesel engine, to replace the original diesel-powered units being sold or retired. The required number of ZE truck TRUs for a given year shall be calculated using the following formula:
"Minimum Number of ZE Truck TRUs -- Required ZE Truck TRU Fleet % x Total Truck TRU Fleet"; Where:
Minimum Number of ZE Truck TRUs is the required minimum number of ZE truck TRUs in an owner's fleet as of the specified Compliance Date in Table 3.
Required ZE Truck TRU Fleet percentage (%) is listed in the second column of Table 3.
Total Truck TRU Fleet is the maximum of the December 31, 2023 Fleet Size or the Total Current Fleet Size; Where:
Number of Truck TRUs is the sum of all diesel-fueled truck TRUs plus all ZE truck TRUs in the owner's truck TRU fleet.
December 31, 2023 Fleet Size is the number of truck TRUs reported to CARB as of December 31, 2023.
Total Current Fleet Size is the Number of Truck TRUs in the owner's truck TRU fleet as of the applicable Compliance Date in Table 3.

A new or rebuilt replacement engine shall meet more stringent emissions standards than the original engine. The new or rebuilt replacement engine must subsequently meet the in-use performance standard requirements of section 2477.5(c) by the compliance dates of section 2477.5(c)(4), which are based on the new or rebuilt replacement engine's model year or effective model year.
(1) Current tier new replacement engines. Current tier new replacement engines shall use the engine model year to determine requirements and compliance dates. The engine model year is shown on the engine emissions label if the engine is manufactured when an emissions standard tier is in effect. Emissions label language examples include, but are not limited to: (A) "THIS ENGINE MEETS 2008 INT. TIER 4 EMISSION REGULATIONS FOR U.S. EPA AND CALIFORNIA NONROAD CI ENGINES." This label language indicates the engine is a current-tier 2008 model year engine for the purposes of in-use requirements and registration.(B) "THIS ENGINE COMPLIES WITH U.S. EPA AND CALIFORNIA REULATIONS FOR 2009 M.Y. NONROAD AND STATIONARY/OFF-ROAD DIESEL ENGINES." This label language indicates the engine is a current-tier 2009 model year engine for the purposes of in-use requirements and registration.(2) Prior tier new replacement engines. Prior-tier new replacement engines shall use the effective model year (see definition) to determine requirements and compliance dates. The manufacture year and the installation year of a prior tier replacement engine shall not be used to determine the in-use requirements and the compliance dates. Prior-tier new replacement engine emissions labels typically do not clearly show the effective model year, but provide dates that indicate the prior-tier emissions standard that the engine meets. The year in the first sentence of the replacement engine emission label is the first year of the tier met. The date in the second sentence of the replacement engine label is the first day of the next tier standard. Table 1 in section 2477.4 and the following example of replacement engine emissions label language show how these labels shall be interpreted for this subarticle: (A) "THIS ENGINE COMPLIES WITH CALIFORNIA OFF-ROAD AND U.S. EPA NONROAD EMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR 2004 ENGINES UNDER 13 CCR 2423(j) AND 40 CFR 89.1003(b)(7) . SELLING OR INSTALLING THIS ENGINE FOR ANY PURPOSE OTHER THAN TO REPLACE AN OFF-ROAD ENGINE BUILT BEFORE JANUARY 1, 2008 MAY BE A VIOLATION OF CALIFORNIA AND FEDERAL LAW SUBJECT TO CIVIL PENALTY." The first sentence includes the year 2004 (the first year of the tier). The second sentence indicates the next tier started on January 1, 2008, so the last year of the tier the engine met would be 2007. The center column of Table 1 shows the effective years 2004 to 2007 matches a Tier 2 engine in the 25-50 hp (trailer) category.(3) Rebuilt replacement engines. Rebuilt replacement engines must meet the requirements of section 2477.16. (A) Prior tier rebuilt replacement engines. If the rebuilt engine meets a prior tier emissions standard, then the effective model year (see definition) shall be used to determine the requirements and compliance dates. The rebuild year and the installation year of a prior tier replacement engine shall not be used to determine the in-use requirements and the compliance dates.(B) Current tier rebuilt replacement engines. It the rebuilt engine meets the tier standard that is currently in effect, then the model year is the year that the rebuild is completed and this year shall be used to determine the requirements and compliance dates.(l) Mobile Catering Company Exemption Requirements.(1) The Executive Officer shall grant a one-year exemption to mobile catering companies for TRUs that are not compliant with the requirements under sections 2477.5(a), (b), (c), or (d) if the following conditions are met: (A) The mobile catering company shall be under contract with the National Interagency Fire Center to provide mobile catering food service to emergency incidents for the year that the exemption would apply.(B) All TRUs shall comply with the TRU reporting requirements under section 2477.5(g) and have a CARB Identification Number (IDN) affixed to both sides of the TRU housing. All TRUs owned or leased by the mobile catering company that are based outside of California that the owner wants included in the mobile catering company exemption shall be reported to CARB in accordance with section 2477.5(g).(C) The mobile catering company shall submit an application for the Mobile Catering Service Exemption with the information required under section 2477.20(g).(D) The owner shall update the application information within 30 days of any changes to the information submitted. For example, if the owner buys, sells, or leases TRUs, the IDN and unit serial number list required under section 2477.20(g)(7) shall be amended.(E) The owner shall provide the driver with a copy of the current Mobile Catering Service Exemption that has been approved by the Executive Officer and the Mobile Food and Shower Service Request Form issued by the National Interagency Fire Center for the incident they are traveling to or from.(F) During transit on California highways, the driver shall, upon request: 1. Present to the CARB inspector the Mobile Catering Service Exemption that has been approved by the Executive Officer and the Mobile Food and Shower Service Request Form issued by the National Interagency Fire Center, and2.
