CARB ACF Demands

Careful Management

The Advanced Clean Fleets regulation applies to drayage operations at seaports and railyards, government-owned fleets, and high-priority fleets.

High-priority fleets include entities that own, operate, or manage at least one vehicle in California and meet one of the following criteria: they either generate $50 million or more in gross annual revenue or have 50 or more vehicles under common ownership. This regulation targets medium- and heavy-duty on-road vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating over 8,500 pounds, off-road yard tractors, and light-duty mail and package delivery vehicles.

To stay compliant with ACF rules, fleet registration is the first step. From there, businesses must submit an annual compliance report to prove adherence to ZEV phase-in guidelines. Failing to meet these requirements can result in financial penalties, registration holds, and potential disruptions to operations.

Fortunately, CAARB has your back. Our expert team understands the CARB system thoroughly and will ensure your equipment is properly registered and all deadlines are met. We’ll also keep you informed of any updates to guarantee your fleet remains compliant year after year.

Advanced Clean Fleets Timeline

The ACF regulation sets a pathway to transition medium- and heavy-duty vehicles from diesel engines to zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) by 2042,

aiming for a significant reduction in carbon Bullet listemissions across California.

2024: State and local government fleets must ensure that 50% of new vehicle purchases are ZEVs, increasing to 100% by 2027.
2025: High-priority and federal fleets must begin phasing out internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles as they reach the end of their useful life and replace them exclusively with ZEVs.
2035: All drayage trucks (vehicles transporting goods to and from ports and railyards) must be ZEVs.
2036: Manufacturers will only be allowed to sell medium- and heavy-duty ZEVs in California.
2042: All remaining vehicles covered by the regulation must be ZEVs.

Do You Have Questions About the

Advanced Clean Fleets Regulations?

New regulations often lead to inquiries, and the ACF is no exception.

Here are some common questions we frequently receive from clients.

How often do I need to prove my CARB compliance?

Maintaining diesel compliance is a regular event. We always give our clients notice about upcoming requirements.

What happens if I ignore the compliance notice?

Compliance notices do not disappear with time. Ignoring the rules will result in expensive fines that will continue to grow.

Do you only handle semi-truck CARB compliance?

CARB regulations apply to all diesel engines. We offer assistance with construction equipment, portable equipment, and TRU (reefer trucks) compliance as well as other industries that use diesel engines.

I can’t afford this fine. Can you help?

We can’t guarantee the California Air Resources Board will lower its fines. However, we have had success in negotiating lower penalties for many of our clients.

How do I keep track of all this paperwork?

We offer record-keeping services to our clients to track and maintain compliance on an annual basis. Tailored fleet updates are provided so you understand your future compliance needs with time to plan for them. Let us do the busy work so you can be productive.
