The California Air Resources Board (CARB) announced Wednesday it is requesting industry participation for a public meeting to discuss the formation of a Truck Regulation Advisory Committee (TRAC) for its Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) regulation.
The meeting will be held in person at 10 a.m. PT on Aug. 22, in Sacramento and via Zoom. Remote participants must register via Zoom. This meeting will be recorded and made available on the ACF website. The meeting will be held at California's EPA headquarters at 1001 Street in Sacramento.
CARB states it is committed to the successful implementation of the ACF regulation. At this meeting, staff will discuss and solicit feedback on TRAC member commitment and expectations, future meeting format and schedule, potential subcommittees and solicit input on topics TRAC would like to address, and how to plan and organize TRAC’s future activities.

"We are looking to the TRAC to help fine tune our outreach, training, and implementation strategies and materials, as well as increase awareness of the needs and opinions of affected stakeholders," CARB states. "The purpose of the TRAC is to identify best practices for implementing the regulation consistent with the regulation language and facilitating constructive dialogue to address key rule implementation issues."
California recently announced a compromise with the Truck and Engine Manufacturers Association (EMA) and North American OEMs regarding EPA 2027 and future regulations. The state's ACF regulation is independent of that agreement and was announced earlier.
For more information about next month's meeting, and to participate, please go to the CARB website. Meeting materials will be made available in advance of the meeting on the website, CARB adds.
