CARB Compliance Requirements for Heavy-Duty Trucks and RVs

Understanding the New CARB Regulations for Heavy-Duty Trucks & RVs

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has implemented new emissions testing requirements for heavy-duty trucks and RVs to help reduce pollution and improve air quality. Starting [insert date or timeline], all heavy-duty trucks and RVs must pass the Heavy Duty Inspection/Maintenance (HD I/M) Compliance Test to remain road-legal.

Why You Need the HD I/M Test
As part of California's commitment to cleaner air, CARB is requiring heavy-duty trucks and RVs to meet stricter emissions standards. This test ensures that your vehicle's emissions system is functioning properly, helping you avoid costly penalties and stay compliant with state regulations.

What the Test Involves
The HD I/M Compliance Test includes a visual inspection and performance check of your vehicle’s emissions system to ensure it is not releasing harmful pollutants into the environment.

Who Needs the Test

  • Heavy-duty trucks and RVs with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) over 14,000 lbs operating in California, especially those registered in the state, need to comply with this test.

Key Dates and Deadlines
Make sure to complete your HD I/M Compliance Test before your registration renewal deadline to avoid any delays or penalties. You’ll typically receive a notice from the DMV with specific instructions.
