What if I want to volunteer to participate in demonstration projects of new technology to reduce diesel PM?
ARB encourages fleet owners to participate in approved demonstration projects. Demonstration devices may be installed on no more than 20 vehicles or ten percent of your total fleet, whichever is less, for testing and evaluating new technology. The owner must get the proper experimental permit and keep the required documentation of the test plan. Each test vehicle will be considered in compliance for the duration of the experiment or a maximum of two years. Test vehicles must be brought into compliance within six months of the end of the test and evaluation period. No experimental strategy may be used after December 31, 2010.
