Section 2477.1 - Purpose
Diesel particulate matter (PM) was identified in 1998 as a toxic air contaminant. This TRU Regulation implements provisions of the Diesel Risk Reduction Plan, adopted by the California Air Resources Board in October 2000, as mandated by the Health and Safety Code Sections 39650- 39675, to reduce emissions of substances that have been determined to be toxic air contaminants. Specifically, this TRU Regulation uses a phased approach to reduce diesel PM, oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transport refrigeration units (TRUs) and TRU generator (gen) set equipment used to power electrically driven refrigerated shipping containers and trailers that are operated in California.
