The regulation
also requires trucks with model-year 2000 – 2006 engines to be retrofitted with DPFs over the next two years.

Regardless of model year, you have the option to phase in the DPFs, doing 30 percent of your fleet by January 1, 2012, with an additional 30 percent required each of the following two years. To use the percentage option, you must file a compliance report with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) by January 31, 2012.

CARB’s online reporting system is scheduled to be available by the end of the year.

Also note that you may be able to extend the compliance deadline for your model year 2004 reefer engine if you request an extension by December 31, 2011. To get the extension, you have to either have ordered the equipment needed or applied for financing for it.
