The TRU ATCM is designed to use a phased approach over about 15 years to reduce the diesel particulate matter (PM) emissions from in-use TRU and TRU gen set engines that operate in California. Who is affected? Owners and operators of in-use diesel-fueled TRUs that operate in California, irrespective of whether they are registered in or outside of the State of California are affected. This includes all carriers that transport perishable goods using diesel-powered refrigeration systems on trucks, trailers, shipping containers, and railcars that operate in California.
