Article 4.5. § 2025. Regulation to Reduce Emissions of Diesel Particulate Matter, Oxides of Nitrogen and Other Criteria Pollutants from In-Use Heavy-Duty Diesel-Fueled Vehicles.

If that vehicle has an engine that powers other equipment that can only be used while stationary, the engine or power take off (PTO) must also operate less than 100 hours in any compliance year. The hour limitation does not apply for vehicles where the engine is used to power an auxiliary mechanism that strictly loads and unloads cargo from the vehicle (examples include, but are not limited to, dump trucks, cement powder trucks, or trucks with attached lift devices). (A) A vehicle that is operated fewer than 1,000 miles within the borders of California in the compliance year, or (B) Until January 1, 2020, a vehicle that is operated fewer than 5,000 total miles, regardless of where it is operated, in the compliance year.
