CARB proposes ULSD for garbage trucks, lets CNG meet easier PM standard

Diesel Fuel News, Dec 9, 2002

California Air Resources Board proposes regulations requiring a 15-ppm sulfur ULSD for all public/private garbage trucks and "best available control technology" to slash particulate matter (PM) emissions to 0.01 grams/brake-horsepower-hour--meaning diesel particulate filters (DPFs). However, CARB is allowing alternative-fueled garbage trucks to meet an easier 0.03 g/bhp-hr PM standard.

Older engines that can't be retrofitted with the lowest-emissions technologies would have to use other CARB-verified systems. Compliance deadlines phase-in between end-2004 and 2010.
