3 State Strategy NOx Emphasis NOx is common to both ozone and particulate pollution NOx is common to both ozone and particulate pollution NOx reductions critical to help reach both ozone and PM2.5 standards NOx reductions critical to help reach both ozone and PM2.5 standards Most NOx is from mobile sources Most NOx is from mobile sources Legacy fleet dominates emissions Legacy fleet dominates emissionsTherefore, NOx reductions from legacy fleet main objective of current State Strategy NOx reductions from legacy fleet main objective of current State Strategy

4 Construction Fleet Strategy Adopted emission standards becoming increasingly more stringent Adopted emission standards becoming increasingly more stringent Cleanest standards not until 2013-15 Cleanest standards not until 2013-15 Adopted new rule: Fleet average; retrofit and turnover Fleet average; retrofit and turnover Maximizes early diesel PM benefits Maximizes early diesel PM benefits Maximizes NOx reductions over time Maximizes NOx reductions over time 4

5 Private Truck Fleet Strategy Truck emission standards have declined steadily over last 20 years Truck emission standards have declined steadily over last 20 years Proposed new measures: Fleet average Fleet average designed around 2010 cleanest standard designed around 2010 cleanest standard retrofit and turnover retrofit and turnover Need to maximize PM and ozone benefits Need to maximize PM and ozone benefits Late 2008 Board hearing Late 2008 Board hearing
