California air regulators and truck manufacturers struck an agreement Thursday on emissions requirements, the result of a months-long negotiation process that will give companies more flexibility to transition to the state's zero-emissions standard.
The Clean Truck Partnership was announced by the California Air Resources Board and the Truck and Engine Manufacturers Association after three months of negotiations. Leaders said in a statement that the deal includes new flexibility for manufacturers to meet emissions requirements while still reaching California's climate and emissions reduction goals.
CARB also committed Thursday to providing no less than four years of lead time, and at least three years of regulatory stability, before imposing new zero-emissions requirements. "Through this agreement, we have aligned on a single nationwide nitrogen oxide emissions standard, secured needed lead time and stability for manufacturers, and agreed on regulatory changes that will ensure continued availability of commercial vehicles," Jed Mandel, the president of the Truck and Engine Manufacturers Association, said in a statement Thursday.
Critically, the deal also helps the state avoid a costly legal challenge from manufacturing groups, which had sharply criticized California’s proposed rule and argued it was neither technologically nor financially feasible.
