Agricultural businesses need special attention when it comes to complying with CARB regulations.
Most Ag businesses use diesel powered equipment in a low use limited way, making it cost prohibitive to replace old equipment with new machines.
CARB recognizes this dilemma and offers low use exemptions. Depending on the age of your equipment and how many miles or hours it is used per year, we can help you get these exemptions and get you CARB compliant.
Here are some types of Ag equipment that need to comply:
- Trucks over 14,000GVWR. Even if you use the truck exclusively off-road it is supposed to comply with CARB regulations.
- Off road equipment used exclusively for farming are exempt. This includes tractors and heavy equipment. Here is a link the latest news from CARB concerning farm equipment: arb.ca.gov/ag/agtractor
- Stationary & portable equipment such as irrigation pumps with diesel engines, generators and wood chippers are supposed to comply with CARB regulations.
