What you need to know about CARB Compliant Reefers
California Regulations
Requirements and Compliance
California continues to lead the way when it comes to higher emissions
regulations. On December 12, 2008 the California Air Resource Board
approved the CARB Compliance, with a goal of reducing particulate matter
and oxides of nitrogen emissions from diesel vehicles. Effective December
31, 2011, any reefer unit from 2004 or older must retrofit current engines
with a Lower Level Emissions Reduction System or purchase a New One.
