Requirements for Transport Refrigeration
Units (TRU or Reefer)
Every California-based TRU and TRU generator
set must be registered and operator reports must
be submitted and kept current at https://arber.
arb.ca.gov/Welcome.arb. All TRUs that operate
in California must also meet the in-use standards,
regardless of where they are based.
Compliance schedules to reduce PM emissions are
based on the engine’s model year as shown in the
table below. Engines may be retrofit with diesel
particulate filters or replaced with newer, cleaner
engines but the replacement engines must then
comply with the appropriate in-use standard, based
on replacement engine model year. For example,
if an engine is replaced by a 2012 MY engine, it
must be upgraded to meet the in-use standard by
December 31, 2019. Engines have seven years after
the model year before upgrades are required. For
more information see: www.arb.ca.gov/diesel/
tru/tru.htm.

The Tractor-Trailer Greenhouse Gas regulation
applies to 53-foot or longer box-type trailers,
including both dry-van and refrigerated-van trailers,
and all heavy-duty tractors that pull them on
California highways. Any person or business residing
in California who sells an affected vehicle must
provide a disclosure notice about the regulation to
the buyer. Fleets must report to take advantage of
short haul, local haul or storage trailer exemptions
and passes. For more information see www.arb.
ca.gov/cc/hdghg/hdghg.htm.
Low-rolling resistance tires are required on all 2011
