California is delaying enforcement of its new regulations—originally taking effect Jan. 1—that would start phasing out diesel- and gas-powered trucks at ports and railyard, pending approval from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, according to a letter sent on Dec. 27, 2023, to the California Trucking Association and reviewed by The Epoch Times.
The federal agency is reviewing a request from the California Air Resource Board (CARB) to allow enforcement of the ban on such trucks from registering on the state’s list of vehicles approved for hauling cargo from ports and railyards.
