Advanced Clean Fleets Program
Advanced Clean Fleets Program
The Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) regulation, led by CARB in California, aims to reduce emissions from medium- and heavy-duty vehicles by requiring a transition to zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs). If your fleet falls under this regulation, CARB is here to assist with vehicle registration and ensure you meet all required deadlines.

CARB ACF Demands
Careful Management
The Advanced Clean Fleets regulation applies to drayage operations at seaports and railyards, as well as to government-owned fleets and high-priority fleets.
High-priority fleets include entities that own, operate, or manage at least one vehicle in California and meet one of the following criteria: they either generate $50 million or more in gross annual revenue or have 50 or more vehicles under common ownership. This regulation targets medium- and heavy-duty on-road vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating over 8,500 pounds, off-road yard tractors, and light-duty mail and package delivery vehicles. To remain compliant with ACF rules, fleet registration is the first step. From there, businesses must submit an annual compliance report to demonstrate adherence to ZEV phase-in guidelines. Failing to meet these requirements can result in financial penalties, registration holds, and potential disruptions to operations. Fortunately, CAARB has your back. Our expert team understands the CARB system thoroughly and will ensure your equipment is properly registered and all deadlines are met. We’ll also keep you informed of any updates to guarantee your fleet remains compliant year after year.
Advanced Clean Fleets Timeline
The ACF regulation sets a pathway to transition medium- and heavy-duty vehicles from diesel engines to zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) by 2042,
aiming for a significant reduction in carbon emissions across California.
- 2024: State and local government fleets must ensure that 50% of new vehicle purchases are ZEVs, increasing to 100% by 2027.
- 2025: High-priority and federal fleets must begin phasing out internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles as they reach the end of their useful life and replace them exclusively with ZEVs.
- 2035: All drayage trucks (vehicles transporting goods to and from ports and railyards) must be ZEVs.
- 2036: Manufacturers will only be allowed to sell medium- and heavy-duty ZEVs in California.
- 2042: All remaining vehicles covered by the regulation must be ZEVs.
