Diesel Engine Smog Check Requirements: What Truck Owners Need to Know About Clean Truck Check
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has rolled out a new requirement that all diesel-powered trucks operating in California must now undergo the Clean Truck Check. This mandatory diesel smog check is part of the state's effort to reduce emissions and ensure that commercial vehicles meet air quality standards. In this blog, we’ll break down what the Clean Truck Check entails, why it’s important, and how Westrux International can help you stay compliant.
What Is the Clean Truck Check?
The Clean Truck Check, introduced by CARB, is a smog inspection specifically designed for heavy-duty diesel trucks. This check evaluates the vehicle's emissions system to ensure it is operating efficiently and within state-mandated limits. The goal is to identify and reduce excessive pollution from diesel trucks, helping improve California's air quality.
Why Is This Important?
Compliance with the Clean Truck Check is crucial not only for environmental reasons but also for your business operations. Failing to meet the required emissions standards can lead to significant fines, penalties, and, most critically, a suspension of your vehicle’s registration. CARB has made it clear: **no Clean Truck Check, no registration**. This means that all diesel trucks must pass this smog check before they can legally operate in California.
